No I have not talked to ACC, I haven’t gotten any contact info.
Tandems do NOT require a cage this year, but the other safety requirements are still MUCH more strict. No tandems until later.
I posted a link to the USDrift rules earlier.

\*Jason I’ll tandem with you when the time comes. I’ll probably take a big follow distance though.

Personally I think it’s utterly pointless to open your doors/stick body parts out of the windows, and unnecessarily dangrous.
a nice wave to the admiring umbrella girls (and by umbrella girls I mean JClark) is sufficient.

The whole point of drifting is doing ridiculous shit like holding the door open with your foot, hands out the sunroof, and your girls tatas out the pass window.

You’re okay.
\*Okay just called Howard, we’re meeting with him on the 16th of Feb.
FYI, another guy named Joe is also holding an event (he has too many cars to merge groups) no idea on the date, but when I get that info I’ll fwd it to you guys. I for one plan on attending both sets of events.
