The only people who will be doing tandem would be those who want to go for points, but I somewhat agree with Ron…I just want to go practice and get a feel for the car when trying to initiate/sustain slides. On the street I just ‘hang it out’ in places, so to speak…not going for a big angle, just letting her loose…I want to get a feel for REALLY making the car sustain slides. ---

I mean 1 it is not a whole day only like 6 hours. I am just wondering how much time the people who have never drifted at all before are going to get? This was originally set up for people to learn about drifting and see if they could do it. I would agree with a no open diff in the points competiton, but in the open single events I think thats really not the best idea. And how are they going to test for open diff in tech? (jack up the car and see if the wheels spin freely?) Time consuming to say the least ---

ok to clear some things up… 1.) There is still going to be an open class, will we allow open diffs…probably, but I’m not guaranteeing anything. I wanted to throw it out there just in case. 2.) I understand that it started out as a small event for beginners but has now become an event with tandems and points etc…you have to look at the big picture. Howard is in the business to make money, end of story. If we brought down some people, dicked around for 5 hrs, and that was it, he most likely wouldn’t be interested in holding any more events. What everyone has to realize is the cars will be split up in to groups of those who are competing and those who aren’t. As far as track time is concerned, everyone will get their fair share. I am not convinced we will get as many people from this area as we will other areas. People are starting to come up with different excuses for not drifting in the event such as “my car won’t be done” or “there is sand in my vagina” etc. SO…if we get 20-30 cars pre-registered for our area then we will make damn sure there will be track time. Like I said before, we started this whole thing as a way to gain access to a drifting location. But now we have some real opportunity to bring the drift scene to our area. I mean look at Englishtown Raceway, it started the same way. I really hope we do get some people from our area to attend, in fact that was our hope from the beginning. We haven’t forgot the original goal, so don’t worry. I appreciate the input! ---

I haz sand in my vagina about actual drifting in my car(or trying to anyway), but I will be at every event helping out as needed. I knew there were a few people coming for Mass. and Conn. but i thought that was only two or three and I thought there were alot more noobs going from around here. ---

Basically when it comes to tech inspection we need to find a happy medium since their points series is apparently run in a tandem events, which is going to require a much stricter tech inspection obviously. Yes Open diff is less controlable, ask me how I know, this bitch has scared me more than once… but on an open track, when just trying to get a feel for the car i think its stupid… In points yes I would think with being close to other “competetors” open diff is very unsafe ---

4 tires will be more then enough. like we’ve all said before we are not great at it. not many people are gonna go out and rip a straight drift around the track while at 60mph. i know i won’t. 4 tires will be fine we are all learning and that’s all that matters. just don’t spin out and peg leg your shit! unless it’s your last run! ---
