![http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6818/driftingposter2zu8.jpg](http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/6818/driftingposter2zu8.jpg) 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 ---

[quote=“drader”] > [@canadianskyline](#): > > Once one car is done, the next will go immediately, and judges will decide which of those runs was “better”. Who are these judges and what are their qualifications? lol :club:[/quote] 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”. ---

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