After a disappointing trip to Ireland previously for IDC Round 2 we had BDC the following weekend, after having our prop failure we had desperately tried to source a replacement however it turned out that the prop shaft that came with the gearbox conversion was a “bitsa” model however luckily for us a very good friend Ali lent us his one piece prop shaft for this weekend so that we could attend the event and not only that but he carried out a 5 hour round trip to drop this off to us to enable us to compete whilst in the middle of moving house!

Kirsty Widdrington – BDC Round 1 2018 Rockingham Motor Speedway
Firstly I would like to welcome you all to the 2018 Competition Drifting Season!
Before I get stuck into my event write up I would like to take this opportunity to once again Thank each and every Sponsor/Partner that we are working with for this season as without your help & support we would not be able to continue on our mission to compete in this fantastically crazy (quickly growing) Motorsport that is Drifting!

To say it was “rather wet” would be a slight understatement as the rain was fiercely falling from the sky along with strong winds which made setting up our pit area a soaking wet tough affair.
Set up complete we bedded down in the van for the night still with the rain hammering the roof of the van & sadly some other competitors gazebo’s not making it through the night unscathed, thankfully ours was strapped down to the van & Syril.
