im in for sure
100%
I wanna be in for this, when is the money due by.
And does anyone have an extra helmet?? or will a snowmobile helmet be ok. lol
First off I’d like thank everyone for supporting the Drift scene.
I’m happy to see everyone have a good time at the track and you’re all improving.
Silvia_Drift, Please see the following link for tech inspection list (scroll down)

If oil is noticably dripping on to the ground you will fail tech. In any case you should get this fixed. It may be simple enough to just buy a tube of gasket and plug the leak. Any spill is a pain to clean up on the track, not mention if we have shut the track to clean up the spill, you’ll be wasting everyone’s track time.
SBC262TT, sorry we don’t offer helmet rentals. See if you can get a loaner.
Drift_ready180sx, What rating is the helmet? there should be a tag on the helmet (Snell or SFI, or is it just a DOT approved helmet?)
see here for examples http://www.smf.org/cert.html
SHC-300, is marked on the back of my helmet, good or bad?
DOT
Hrmm… I would get the best helmet that your money can buy. I am not sure about your helmet situation(s), so I will make some calls to see if any retailers are willing to give us a discount if we purchase through them.
Thanks for all the interest!

OK sounds good … Sasha would love any instruction you have to offer.
I have some winter rubber on steelies that are just begging to be scrubbed off (sorry benson I don’t think you’ll want these next winter :twisted: )
Now about helmets? How much would a new one cost and where would I buy one? I’m not sure if I can afford a helmet right now … would someone be willing to loan me one ?
has the restrictions & stuff gone up since the motorcycle accident.?
You can find Snell SA-rate (auto race) helmets at
http://www.cscracing.com/helmets.htm (located in Newmarket)
You can find Snell M-rated helmets (motorcycle race helmets) at various bike shops, cycle world for example. Snell M is generally cheaper than a Snell SA helmet.
Snell K helmets (kart) will suffice as well, they are similar to SA helmets but don’t have the same fire protection. more in-depth explanation can be found here http://www.bellracing.com/faq/fq.htm
If you intend to do actively participate in any motorspot especially any amateur competitions a Snell SA helmets is a must have. Anyone looking to purchase a helmet for drifting I’d recommend getting a full face SA helmet. Compared to some of the perfromance part on sone car its not that expensive.
average player, from what I’ve read of the motorcyle accident, it was a racing incident. I don’t believe the amount of safety gear was an issue.
As for the restrictions going up, its really up to the organizers of the series/event/etc to set the safety standards necessary. Not to say that if you follow the safety standards nothing bad will happen, there is always a margin of risk.
Shannonville does not force us to make everyone wear a SA2000 helmet, as organizer, we feel it is the responsible thing to do. There has already been one serious accident this year.
To date, we have not done a very thorough tech of everyone but that not to say we won’t be in the future.
Why was this locked?
…unlocked because I don’t why it was locked …
Sorry my fault, i went lock crazy.
I was trying to lock up old meet threads.
Do you guys mind if i come and watch?, I have a modifed 94 Eagle Talon TSI AWD and dont think it can drift very well:), any charges to watch? and I have been talkin to some people on msn from SON , maybe i can meet some of you guys as you ride through Trenton right before belleville on 401 and cruise with u guys to shannonville?

Hey guys just a thought. Im from trenton ontairo, right by shannonville like 25 min away (before shannonville, so ur driving right by), and we are having a huge import sport compact show 2005 this weekend july 9th and 10th, its no longer then 5 mins off the 401 south and there will be a ton of nice cars to check out …just a thought!
I think its 30 dollars to enter ur car into it but i am just going to go look
go to http://www.creativecustoms.ca/ and u can read up on it if u want, let me know if ur comin and ill meet up with u
Edit: just heard its 15 bucks to go in the arena to look at the good cars, im not sure if its blocked off and u cant go around looking at cars outsside or not but im not paying 15 bucks , im poor as it is paying for gas:(
