Well, Tungsten, myself, and Wallace met last night over the possibility of setting up local drift events for the upcoming season. So far we have a few meetings with venues and have a lot of the key information (insurance, guidelines, etc) pretty much straightened out. What we wanted to post here for, was to see who, if any, from this site would be interested in attending these events. The events will most likely run between $60-$80 (to cover insurance, venue fees, etc.). Vehicles will be limited to rwd only, and will be subject to a tech inspection. We are planning on open sessions at first, and if popularity grows, then we will move to actual competitions. so, post if you think you are interested, as it stands we have roughly 15 in our group that would attend, and the price listed above is based on 30 attendees. Thanks Possible attendees: 1.)IROC 2.)Shady 3.)Jclark 4.)Boxersix 5.)Bennyfizzle 6.)Ohnopopo 7.)Fn Skanks 8.)Jersey Fresh 9.)hooked on 240 10.)94 sentra xe 11.)slwrthnu ---

Shit I’m down for burning up crap tires but my 240 will probably never pass a tech inspection. I know I’m gonna have to stick a twenty spot in Jclarks wallet every time I go out on track with the guys just to be allowed :rofl ---

Tech inspection? LOL This is a drift event, no one’s car will pass. 😃 Srsly tho, I’m not tech anymore for Patroon, so you’ll have to bribe someone else. ---

Can we make this relatively early in the season to I can minimize having to mount/dismount tires…basically I want to burn the tires I have on the wheels now, and then mount my new tires. ---
