REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

Ello All :

We had a great event the first time round, doing a second one now with more of the same!

NOTE that this is an ENTRY LEVEL / NOVICE event designed for one who wants to learn to drift and or learn the limits of your vehicle. It will be as some of you guys say, "chill." It is however, not a "DONUT" course. Here's the reader's digest version ~

Venue : Pacific Raceways Parking Lot
Time : 09:00AM - 5:00PM (DRIVER'S MEET @ 9:30AM SHARP)

Driver Cap : 25 Drivers

DRIVERS : IF YOU'RE NOT THERE @ THE MEETING, YOU'RE NOT DRIVING!

>>> Everyone will have to sign waivers. <<<

Pre-Requisite : None. No experience necessary!

Tech Inspection : All vehicles that will be on the course will go through a standard tech inspection. Additionally, should there be any leaks at any given time during the event, the vehicle will be turned back to the pits and have such said leaks addressed. Vehicles with leaks shall stay OFF the track until which time they don't leak anymore - NO EXCEPTIONS.

Safety : All attending drivers will be required to have a helmet! Seat belts must be in good working condition!

ETIQUETTE ~

1) SPINS : If you spin out twice per run, do not attempt to finish the run and proceed to your next staging area.

2) MOVEMENT AREA : While traveling from the pits to the staging area and vice versa, note that there's an enforced 5 MPH speed limit. That limit is strictly enforced and if violated, you will be pulled off the track and sent packing. Additionally, please DO NOT try to drift in the pits in an attempt to cool your motor down...

2A) TIE DOWNS : Let's make sure that all TENTS should be weighted and SECURED!
Gates open @ 9AM for drivers to get in and once in, please park and stage @ "Da Pitts" and await further instructions. I will continually update this page to address any other questions you guys might have.

Regards!

Check!! Now to swap back to stock wheels/tires....

There will be instructors at the event to help out if you need anything...

Good thing about them instructors...i will need them...

Hey Bob, any chance of the course being similar to that of a large figure 8 with it being based on a time limit? Like how you ran the south sound speedway events?

I thoroughly enjoyed the last course, but found it difficult to maintain any type of consistency with my driving. I spun out quite a bit, and after the second spin, i just drove directly off the course.


Either way, im just happy to have the opportunity to get some seat time regardless of the course layout. But just wanted to provide some feedback.

I like the figure 8s too, but not all there are just into drift yeah? Hence my incorporation of a figure 8 at the end of the course.

I'll also be opening up for feedback at the end of this next event, after tweaking this last course to see what people want more of. Consistency that you speak of comes with practice and track time. :)

See you Saturday! BTW, are there any good GFX artists out here that I can enlist the help of to draw out the course layout digitally for us?


Bob @ Drift-Office, LLC

Ok, thanks! Excited for Saturday!

BTW - the AVO turbocharged FR-S will be out there (ie, me) though I'm not sure I'll be drifting it. I'll try to get people in the passenger seat though for rides!

OH YEAH! i am strongly looking into picking up the AVO set-up by next year some time, i would love to take you up on that offer!

Supposed to be a nice day this Sat, 8 spots left! :)

I'll have a more definite answer tonight for you, but I'm a 75% yes at the moment.
