Hey all... Heat 1 of WA Drift competition was held over the weekend down in Collie.
I was Filming the day from trackside and I even managed to get a few pics when I had a chance.

Some of the pics quality isnt 100% due to smoke from the burnout comps playing havok with the camera!

This car lost control and smashed into the tyre next to the one we were filming from!

Ambulance on scene... dont know if its SJA or not... but the ambos were in similar uniform to SJA....

Preston Roads 2.4 on scene

will post more later

cheers mate,
Agreed smoke isn't the best thing for auto focus.

i know. my friend who was doing all the still photography for the day got some really good photos of the day.. but then again his camera is worth $6000+ and mine is just a $250 digi! haha

if anyone is keen on checking out the drifts, the next heat is @ Barbagallo in a few weeks time!! come check it out, its an inexpensive way to spend a saturday arvo! Will send details to anyone interested!

Donks: It does look like a SJA Ambo maybe its one being sold and removed the decals and just using it for first aid duties n such.

I think you may be right 4353 re the van. The number plate is a collie plate. As they are co-staff they would have a merc as there ambulance

these are ex sja staff working now for event paramedic who does the collie raceway so im led to believe. I think they are a hubby and wife team

Can ex-SJA staff wear their uniform with SJA logo on them?

Exactley what she said.

SJA dont take a liking to wearing a uniform at another service, if they are still at SJA wont be for much longer now lol.

I saw this item in the local freebie community newspaper and remembered reading this thread discussing it.
