Speed Hero's First Drift Day Event!

Well, here in Ontario Canada, we have an extremely small scene. Not only are all the roads perfectly straight grid across Ontario (when the settlers came they divided the land equally and gave it free to families coming to Canada, resulted in all the roads being perfectly straight grid across almost the whole province!) But we also have some extremely strict street racing laws: If you get caught “Stunting” you can be fined up to $10,000, and if you cannot afford it, your car becomes a lovely cube. Also, up here is Nascar Country. We have about 400 Oval tracks and about 3 Road courses in Ontario. What’s even worse is that almost all the Road Courses have Banned Drifting!!! A few local residents have filled complaints against the tracks for excessive noise, so rather than fighting it, they just banned drifting, since it is such a small demand here. However, we came through and ran our own track day, but that being said, out of the 15 people invited, only 4 cars showed up, way to go Ontario…

Here’s Brent and all his Body Roll. He hates Nissan and Turbo’s, We joke and call him the “good ole boy” as he always ends up sliding through the dirt.

Ethan finally getting it right. His clutch, power steering, and e-brake were not working 100%, so it’s was just him trying to power over with a N/A KA24 and a welded diff. Derrick snapping some Piccczzz

Freshly served Body Roll Actions

More of Ethan, Brent making a mess of the grass.

Someone Forgot to tell these guys that we PAID to rent the track that day. I went around and told them, and even let them take a few laps, but eventually they took over and kind of ended our day.

Andrew was Killing it all day long, and it was his first track day ever! He managed to link the entire course multiple times.

Drift Girls, holla. Drifting is like Magnets to the femmes.

Mark brough out his wicked RHD 180sx and rubbed frame rail all over the hizzle.

Only tools needed

Brent ruined some old tires

Hoods are for Foo’s! Stay in school!

The whole crew out learndinged.

Opps, Spinno.

unda unda unda!!!

Now you got it!

Dirty kids keep wrecking my lawn!

Yet another Stock Car on our track time. He was cool though, we was trying to slide the big banked corners for us.

The Sun was in and out all day, felt like we were in Britain.

We all agreed Andrew was the winner at the end of the day.

Andrew, thanks for all the enthusiam and your Camera! :smiley:

Ethan, thanks for not touching me to much.

Brent, Keep it out of the dirt!

Get your car ready Derrick!

That’s it for now! Thanks to the those who encouraged me to get this event going!

I don’t remember seeing an invite for this track day.

Maybe if you made it more public more people would have come.

How long do you get the track for? How much is it to go? How far is it?

Let’s hear some more details and I’m sure you’ll get a better turn out!

I would have gone!

I was a tester event, I kept the invites private as there was a chance we may have lost our money. It was unknown if the track would hold up, so I didn’t want 20 people showing up getting on the track for 10 minutes and losing their money.

We got 5 hours out of it, and are trying to organize the next one already. There are some hurdles that occurred during the day we need to jump for the next event which will be public. :slight_smile:

^^ Good stuff! I look forward to it.

It looks like a decent layout. Are you guys allowed to drift the whole course? Can people drift the oval and link it into the infield?

How far is the track from the GTA?

man if i had known i would of been out for shhhhhoooooo. my girlfriends mom and bf, live just down the street… i go out every sat night for the races man… i mean man. richard(moms bf) is a friend of the family too jeeezzzz… i mean man
come on

Just to let Everyone know. The track is Flamborough Speedway. We need a little convincing to get the next event going. We have some interest from Lucas oil who sponsors the track.

John Casale, the owner is a very good guy, and although all the drama that unfolded through the day, he still expressed a strong interest in doing more events.

I’ll be talking to John on Monday regarding the scheduling of the next event. Sadly they can only be on weekdays, but they are also much more affordable than a regular track day.

Feel free to PM me or post your support as it’s all helpful towards the next day.

That day we did use the whole course. It’s a first gear, second gear course, and after a few runs the guys were getting it down pat.

There were some concerns that arose during the day that will have to be addressed for the next day, but I’m working hard to get the next one ready! :smiley:

From the looks of it the track looks awesome!

& If you were to link it from the oval to the in-field, it would be much like D1 set-up! Gangster! Make it more public next time!

At least now since school has started, people have the choice of skipping class and go drifting as opposed to skipping work to drift!

I have thursday and friday’s off from school! yeaaaaaaaaah.

How long is the drive?

mississauga 1hr or so

Thanks a bunch for putting it together Quinn, I know we all had a blast and I’m really looking forward to the next event! More pictars of my dorifto next time though!

i wanna drift that so hard, wtf! make it public that track looks sooo gangstaaaa
and as long as its not outrageously priced im down

I would have gone still…needa learn to drift somewhere…lol

i would skip skool to do this. LOL

I skipped school AND work to do this. Most fun I’ve had with without taking my pants off.

I skipped 3 days of school to fix and prep the car for the GB Tires event. Thats just how good it was.

The track was super fun… and hopefully we’ll get to run it again.

A couple kart guys were not pleased with us… but the owner seemed to be pleased… so fingers crossed!

Those pics were amazing… Bronco Bob was there! I should have come!
