How was the last one set-up? Was it a full course or just a few turns? You're going back again so that's a good sign, I suppose :)

The Drift Central guys/gals are awesome. I went down there earlier this year with my personal drift car but it was giving us nothing but issues at the time.

We should bring the shop BRZ out to the November one

its a series of cones not a real track, but fun none the less. Here is a video from it https://streamable.com/uhi0f

okay, cool ... so 4 turns.

How much "track" time do you think you got? Or maybe a better way of asking is, how many times were you able to get on the course?

Probably 30+

Ooooo!

Might be able to get my wife to come out; although, we'll see. She's concerned that she will get nauseous in the car, rightfully so I imagine.

Any idea what the tire wear is like compared to the surface at Thunderhill Skid Pad?

It's an old runway built in WWII era, and it has never been resurfaced as far as I know. It's not too bad. That area of the airport has only been used for autocross and drifting. Maybe way back when it was used for something else but that's pretty much it.

With that said I'm not too sure how it compares to T Hill. You're comparing an airport surface which is not used for landings to a racetrack, so I would think that the racetrack would have better surface. Then again I could be very wrong.

Seemed like more than 4 turns to me and it looks like a lot of fun, go for it! It’s pretty coarse, old asphalt.

It appeared to be as many runs as you wanted...do your run and get back in line...and the line moved pretty quick, I think you will definitely get your fill.

Saturday's event was awesome. There wasn't as large of a group this time so the amount of track time was ridiculous. It was really nice to see and meet other gt86 owners.
