NOR-CAL drift event at sears point 50 dollars - Page 3 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

MikeDeuce · 01-30-2004, 12:13 AM

aaron: a friend at work called them up today... supposedly the event is only going to take place in the paddocks, not the track.

knghtryde · 01-30-2004, 09:26 AM

That's what I got also. The reason they are trying to limit the numbers is because of the fact that they will not be using much space. To be honest I don't think the Paddock area is big enough to hold 50 cars for much drive time. Thunder Hill was kewl, there was a decent amount of drive time cause of the use of the split track and paddock area...

MikeDeuce · 01-30-2004, 10:44 AM

Hm here's a pic..

still has to be better than autox, value-wise.

*CleanS14* · 01-30-2004, 11:00 AM

Yeah... I figure sliding all day for $50 is worth it especially if they're limiting the number of cars and will at least have a 4-5 turn course. We'll see I guess.

MikeDeuce · 01-30-2004, 11:03 AM

Just got this from Dave Ho @ NASA from an email the other night:

Mike, the entries are limited to 50 and signups are online. You should
be there before 9am and the setup will be somewhere in the paddock.
Tech will also be at the track, and bring a helmet Snell 85 or M85 and
up.

MikeDeuce · 01-30-2004, 03:52 PM

They've said in a couple responses here as well as over the phone that it's not going to be on the track. It's going to be in the paddock.

jy116 · 01-30-2004, 04:04 PM

That should answer your question.

dct223 · 01-31-2004, 06:11 PM

SH*T! I might need to borrow a helmet from someone..

jeffz0rs · 01-31-2004, 11:10 PM

About the motorcycle helmets:

check out the NASA rules:
https://www.nasaproracing.com/hpde/preparing.html

The minimum rating is SNELL M85. Newer helmets with a SA rating are recommended. Eye protection is required (face shield, goggles, safety glasses). The more and better the safety equipment you have & use, the safer you will be.

mazdized · 02-01-2004, 03:57 PM

I think it is U.S. drift national thing, they may be decided not to use Hyperfest because Hyperfest cancelled last Oct. I think the paddock will be very crowded as regular NASA participants will fill the paddock quick. May be they will use the rear paddock at turn 7. We will see I guess.

steedsta · 02-01-2004, 04:47 PM

i need a car!!! or i will need to just get a refund

blu808 · 02-01-2004, 07:26 PM

CreAziaN · 02-02-2004, 01:19 AM

mooboy · 02-02-2004, 10:10 AM

See everyone there!

Andrew Bohan · 02-02-2004, 04:21 PM

steedsta, buy my friend's car (unless you care about being street legal). he wants to sell! $5k

*CleanS14* · 02-02-2004, 04:30 PM

wow... too bad it's only raining on friday... we could have saved some rubber!!! Oh wells still good times I guess.

rewplayff · 02-02-2004, 04:46 PM

woohoo. i signed up.

MikeDeuce · 02-02-2004, 04:50 PM

Hrmph... from the latest update (Everyone already registered has probably gotten this already):

"If you are signed up for drifting it would be best to arrive about 8-8:30. There will be a driver's meeting at 9am. There will only be 50 people allowed to sign up. If you bring friends to sign up at the track, they take a chance of not getting in. Please have them sign up in advance. NASA membership is required, but at $35 it's a steal! You also get a $20 subscription to Grassroots Motorsports magazine so it makes it very worthwhile. We will be drifting pretty much all day so get ready for loads of fun!"

Am I the only one that didn't realize NASA membership was required?

Good thing I like grassroots motorsports.

mooboy · 02-02-2004, 04:51 PM

Haha...I didn't realize you needed a membership either. Oh well.
