Crowd FavoriteMaybe a couple more, we'll see how funds allow. I'm doing this all for free, so I don't want anyone thinking I'm making anything off of this!
IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!
THIS IS NOT A DRIFT COMPETITION! We've had to work out asses off to even LET the city do this, so I'm gonna be PISSED if someone comes in and thinks they are the Drift King and slides into something and the city says "No more" for next year. So come, have fun, if your tires squeak obviously that's no biggie. Smoking them on purpose around a corner, or repetitively? You can go home.Things required for competition:
Battery secure
Seat belts
No loose stuff in the cars AT ALL! we'll have parking spots for you, bring a tote to put stuff in.
No helmets required, but you can if you want.
NO AIR CONDITIONING in the staging lanes, I don't want water all over the course.
Check tire pressure, cars with low tires will not be allowed to run. I'll be teching cars, I just want it to be safe, and people to have fun!
No leaking fluids, for above reasons. Guess no Eclipses will be running hahahahaha j/k
Lug nuts tight, and decent tires.You can start running at 3pm, and we have to be done at 10pm. PLEASE Tell your buddies, dads, neighbors, whatever, I WANT LOTS OF CARS HERE!!!! Old stuff, new stuff. Let them know that 50's cars will only be running against 50's cars, and that it will be SAFE, and it's not hard on thier cars! Please help me out, I've been working my butt off on this, so I could use some help!
Please post this on SuFu racing and any other sites you can think of, let's get some people here, it should be a blast!!

It turned out really good we had 45 cars running with trophys and plaques given away. Overall it was a good time, had some food vendors out there and the highway patrol with their rollover simulator and the morocycle burnout contest. Were trying to get another event in this year but if we dont we will hit it hard for next years planning.
