Acc would be okay with it but we need to contact the SCCA for new england to push permission to access an event of this nature. We can’t go directly through ACC because of the permit setup. The track is a wide open parking lot, in the lower lot which has been used numerous times. As 4 year student up there I have already talked to them a couple times about the setup. They carry so of the general liability so…it’s cheapers compared to a vacant venue. I think collectively we should get a letter sent out to hold 3 event series or something through the SCCA drift section with all the participants that are in for the season. It would be small be a start for the 518. ---

Partnering with the SCCA takes away 50% of the hassle you’re dealing with now but adds a different 50%. They take care of all the insurance, permits, etc which is a huge load off your shoulders. Downside is you have to play by SCCA rules. That means safety as if your grandmother was running the show. The means it’ll take a decade to get your permits. It means you have to wait months for approval from the SCCA to even start the process. And you also have to get an SCCA official to endorse it (probably not hard), and most likely help plan and run it (much harder). They are great people, but it’s still like dealing with the DMV. If you can secure your own permit and insurance, do it on your own. If not, try the SCCA. Also, at some point, someone will have to come up with a good chunk of money out of pocket. Anyone have this worked out yet? [Rhetorical question] ---

we are also looking into USDrift, which like the SCCA provides insurance. however,like JClark said, it can be kind of a hassle since the rules and regs are pretty strict…we have contacted them and are trying to figure out the details. ---

Yeah the 240 is the project of mine that is lowest on the totem pole at the moment, but also the cheapest one by about $60K. I’ll hopefully get to it between all the scheduled stuff here; being booked out through May already doesn’t really help in the time department :ohnoes ---
