[bubba]

I'm down to watch ppl get owned by a wall...

also max, u don't have a car that runs, how u gonna drift

[dubbsy]

I'd certainly be interested in tearing up tires assuming there's limited possibility of tearing up body panels in the process.

Well the first event will either be just cones or an beginner and advanced course. And bubba I will have a running car next year.

If he has a running/driving car....

[drift86]

His car runs and drives, just doesn't have a bumper!

[drift86]

So here is how the event would be run: 60$ entry fee(any money made will go towards mor events) there would be a driver cap at 20-25 drivers, which will allow for plenty of seat time for each driver. There would be 2 run groups, beginner and advanced. The beginner run group will be made out of drivers that are looking to try it out. The advanced run group will have drivers with a season or 2 of experiance, and caged/tandem drivers will be in that group. Each run group will go for 30 min and then switch, approximatly 8 hours of track time for the day. For the beginners there will be a few advanced drivers to help them if they are having issues with anything.

There will be tandem, but all tandem drivers will have a 4 point cage with door bars, and will have to be comfortable with who they are driving against.

If time allows at the end of the day we can have a fun competition of some sort!

If any questions just ask.

this would be cool to do... make sure you hit up all the MN forums as there are quite a few guys into it. Hit up NOS and see if you can do it on a weekend they don't have events maybe they will come down, and can bring some people with them. When I was at MAP it was the EPDC (Empty Pockets Drift Crew) that were waiting to organize more events and grassroots type of events. See if you can find a way to get a hold of them to get them involved as well, the guy I talked to was Eric Moen, and I know the NOS guy should have his number as I think he's sponsoring his car. Always cool to see more events around, just have to gets cars here for it which is always the challenge.

[drift86]

Blake those guys are all people I have met and befriended over the years. They some of them have verbally committed to come. I will be talking to dan carey soon to see what his schedule is like so we can try to plan different weekends.

[dont got a ride]

Thanks!

[99civic]

i would like to see this happen... we need something cool in town here

[drift86]

Well hopefully this will work out. I am working on a couple sponsors and then I want to start making a schedule!

[legacy-user-351]

I would probably attend... Not exactly my thing but it'd be fun regardless. Maybe combined with an AutoX?

[drift86]

An autox/drift event could be in the cards, but I want to make sure that the drifters get enough seat time if they have to travel 4+ hours to an event. What do you drive?

[legacy-user-351]

'05 Legacy GT Wagon... Not planning on AutoXing either, just thought there might be more interest with a combined event.

[drift86]

To be honest if I can get people interested in just spectating from this site id be happy. If I get drivers that is an extra bonus!
