<![CDATA[Drift event(s) at the fairgrounds in 2012.]]>Would you try it if you didn’t have to travel? Would you come spectate?

We are working on some local events for next season. I have been talking to some of the South Dakota and Minnesota drivers and they will be coming to drive as well.

I am just trying to gauge some local interest to see if there is anyone else that would jump on board.

Any feedback/opinions would be awesome. Constructive criticism only please.

Here is a vid of the guys from SD.

so you know the fair grounds is in the county and not in city limits, and the county doesnt have a noise ordinance.

Mine was just to show an outdoor movie at a block party though, it may be tougher for this kind of event. If you do apply for one, be sure to do it right - demonstrate that you will have the ability to "police" the event effectively. Maybe set a DB limit and say you be actively monitoring it during the event and will respond appropriately to any complaints that may arise, etc. You'll also want to look into whether you'll need to carry liability insurance, or if the faigrounds policy will cover you.

I'd be happy to do some recruiting to get people to show up if this is actually going to happen..

If I get drivers that is an extra bonus!

Not planning on AutoXing either, just thought there might be more interest with a combined event.

What do you drive?

Not exactly my thing but it'd be fun regardless. Maybe combined with an AutoX?

They some of them have verbally committed to come. I will be talking to dan carey soon to see what his schedule is like so we can try to plan different weekends.

Hit up NOS and see if you can do it on a weekend they don't have events maybe they will come down, and can bring some people with them. When I was at MAP it was the EPDC (Empty Pockets Drift Crew) that were waiting to organize more events and grassroots type of events. See if you can find a way to get a hold of them to get them involved as well, the guy I talked to was Eric Moen, and I know the NOS guy should have his number as I think he's sponsoring his car. Always cool to see more events around, just have to gets cars here for it which is always the challenge.

There would be 2 run groups, beginner and advanced. The beginner run group will be made out of drivers that are looking to try it out. The advanced run group will have drivers with a season or 2 of experiance, and caged/tandem drivers will be in that group. Each run group will go for 30 min and then switch, approximatly 8 hours of track time for the day. For the beginners there will be a few advanced drivers to help them if they are having issues with anything.

There will be tandem, but all tandem drivers will have a 4 point cage with door bars, and will have to be comfortable with who they are driving against.

If time allows at the end of the day we can have a fun competition of some sort!

If any questions just ask.
