hopefully someone can chime in if this option has been already explored. but anyway…
A friend and i were discussing drifting an oval track here in ontario. he mentioned kawartha so i looked it up on google maps and found it didnt really have an infield that could make a course other than the 4 corners of the oval. so i went looking for others.
north of hamilton, 1/3 mile oval with kart track. seems wide enough to slide on (see 2nd vid) and could be run in either direction. clockwise would be best imo, iniating in off the bank then lots of 2nd gear transitions and switchbacks.
karting vid of infield
you see 2 pickups parked side by side on the kart track…seems wide enough
if we were to lay off the dirt drops and not eff up the lawn our first time there, maybe we would be welcome back. that is if they would even consider us in the first place.
are you calling that now, or do you know for a fact? please elaborate.
what was the oval that you said you could organize last year? something about a crash though…
yea I really wish we had some more tracks, other then just shannonville. Its bad enough then unlike most of the west coast we only get 6 to 8 months of seat time. We should atleast have some variety to test our skills and limits on different tracks.
That’s a bummer to hear. This place looked interesting. Is Mosport DDT an option? As for Cayuga, seeing as they only allow drifting at cscs events, cscs needs to organize a practice day at tmp under their corporate banner.
This has opened my eyes to how good we have it at Shannonville, in the sense that you can go out and do multiple laps drifting. I have been researching driftthing practice events in qc at St.eustache and circuit Icar. These events are run like qualifying for a competition, where one car is sent at a time to do thee drift then return to the staging area. And both those layouts only have 2-3 turns. Nelson has 7. Still might do a road trip out to one of those next season just for something different.
yeah couple buddies work up at flamborough and no chance in hell they’d let drift go down there. owner isn’t very reasonable. Likes his little kiddies on go karts lol
