Hey guys.

On September 16th, I’ve organized a drift competition and practice with the StreetWheelers Car Club. I am going to try to let the drivers have as much seat time as physically possible (because i think that’s what it’s all about), and then once practice is over, we will proceed to run a drift competition (if we have time after the competition I will go back to practicing). The competition will be ran in Tandem Format (that is, one car VS. another car) but not actual running side by side (I wish I had insurance for that). Once one car is done, the next will go immediately, and judges will decide which of those runs was “better”. I think this will be an exciting format. I for one am excited to see how it turns out, and there will be prizes for the winners. :E

Anyway, I know Edmonton is a long ways away (and I do know there are a few of you planning to make the trip), but for the Calgary people especially, it’s only a 2 hour drive (if that) to have a fun time driving all day. I’ll put it this way, if this event goes well, there will be more to come, and without AngleFactory around anymore, I think that can only be a good thing.

Thanks to Louren Sansregret for doing the poster (and you too Braden, Louren offered to do one too, and his ended up being pretty good, i still love you).

I’d also like to thank IMPORT CONCERN for their sponsorship of this event, as well as MAK CUSTOMS out of Lethbridge.

Anyway, let me know if you have any questions/comments.

Thanks,

Chris Van Gaalen

I am one judge…who is putting the event on, and knows what a good drift run looks like. The other judge i believe is going to be Evan. I briefly talked to him about it before, and he was interested. He also knows what a good run looks like. We’ve got a lot of option video’s under our “viewing belts”.

17

do I need a helmet and where
can i get the cheapest one?

18

Chris, if your judging does that mean you aren’t driving, or are you alternating?

From talking to him, I dont believe hes driving in the actual competition.
