Team Mobile Mayhem are entering their fully race prepared XD (Yes I did say XD!) in next years Drift Australia series.
Drift Australia is back again in 2010 with a full 5 round national series so there will be plenty of opportunity to get out and barrack for a BLUE OVAL BEAST as Danny and the team take it up to the competition! A full build thread is available for viewing at http://www.xfalcon.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19787 It would be great to see plenty of FORD fans get out to the drifting and get involved in this spectacular sport. See you at the track in 2010! |

Unfortunately I have nto been able to make it to the race meet this week end :SaiyanSmi
Apparently fitting a new flatpax laundry and having rellies from the UK arriving in a week take precedence over going to Da!  :

Hmm is this the same Danny that was drifting a blue XD falcon the last few years at Hidden Valley up in Darwin? If it is, this thing has big smoke! Funny seeing him at a Hidden Valley motorkhana and whenever it was his turn all we saw was a smoke storm! Good luck to him and the team.

I'm a holden fan but it's good to see more aussie cars competing in what is mainly an import dominated event.
