yeah its 80 bux, it kinda sux for beginners cuz spinning out does take a lot of time...but I have a feeling all these "pros" are going to spin out too hahaha, hopefully not as much.

[Jdotsturn]

ok should have mine as well as my friends payment in this week.

How is the event gonna go down?

15 min sessions with like 5 or more groups would mean an hour or more of waiting

[ericcastro]

shouldnt feel like anymore waiting than usual. And being able to run 15 minutes non stop is great.
It will help you learn alot faster too.

should be alot of fun.

And yes JXN, its 3am, and I am on zilvia. drinking scoth after a night at the strip clubs

Heres the deal.

This even is kinda like....a big exhibition.
Your friend can sign up, it wont effect anyones time. Because your group gets 15 minutes no matter what. For the people who bring MORE friends in their group, thats when stuff gets congested. And slows down.

I know the 626driftcrew staff are going to be hella congested....2 groups of 7 car tandems. Gonna be Insane as FUCK...

I think Ill take some videos tooo....Im pretty sure Castro will be taking CRAZY pictures...everyone bring your WIDE ANGLE lens lol!

[Teddy]

Yeah I'll bring my camera to shoot a video for this, since there will be a lot of down time...

[SUPERSTAR]

JXN, if your coming to the BBQ, I will pay for my spot then. If not I will give it to the HOT DOG KING ^

[JKim0901]

sounds sweet, im just not sure to be in team corolla or team rotory....

[Teddy]

So if I understand this correctly, here is how track time works. There are 6 groups theoretically. Every group gets 15 minutes. So that means that there are 5 groups other than yours. 5 X 15 = 75 minutes. So every hour and 15 minutes, you get 15 minutes.

If its an 8 hour day, each group will only get to run about 7 times. 7 X 15 = 105 (1h45m) total run. And thats with your group, not individually. So if there are 5 cars in your group, that would average out to 3 minutes per car, so 105/ 3 = 35 minutes total individual run time.

Somehow, it just seems like we're getting less track time than a regular event? Maybe I'm just thinking too hard.

i'll stick to the not so CRAZY family, portraits & candids back in the pit, parking & spectators areas. I'll waive the sitting fees if you show me some inner marvel, capcom character!

If youve never gone buck wild on a drift course with a couple buddies, then you have no idea. You are thinking way too hard.

Just show up. Dont spin out. and bring more tires than usual

[vvtisupra]

its 15 minutes of constant running with your group. If you have like 3-5 drivers and you are all to par you guys can be running constantly. aka no waiting in line. which means you'll have equivalent run time in a group of 15 people with more wait. This will be a challenge of car stamina (aka car cooling) and tires.

lol then i dont think imma last that long LOL

[Blackparade]

im running withouot my front bumper...and will be installing my oil cooler ASAP!
Castro is absolutley right....
If you have ever seen our insane staff runs, then youll understand.
But we start dropping like flies, cuz tires dont last us for crap!

[240love]

Time to invest into electric fans, oil coolers and reservoirs that have no cracks... dont forget regular maintenance/tune-ups

btw: if anyone is typically running a little hot (since the hotter part of the year is almost here), try a product called WaterWetter by Red Line Oil. This stuff cools as much as 30 deg. by adding better heat transfer properties/chemicals to the existing or new coolant system. WaterWetter is also compatible with almost every application from different antifreezes to brass, aluminum and copper radiators.

Best of all, its only 10 bucks! try it...

yea, i have a whole bottle of that shit in my koyo right now (altho it said to only use like i think half or 3/4 of it) and since then i've never had cooling problems at the track, even during full blown staff time!

[hitman]

good cooling setup (havent overheated as of yet-even at htm summer time)
ka-turbo floor it as much as possible
fluidyne radiator
good hoses and water pump
no thermostat
no heater core (motor part is looped)
clutch fan
part shop max oil cooler
earls -10 lines and random ebay adapter for oil... no thermostat.
also my fmic is small and where the ac thing goes right in front of the radiator
back of my hood is vented.
also i havent had a front bumper in a long time but i dont think that has much of a difference
10w40 redline oil
all water with one thing of water wetter

Damn and I cracked my radiator at the last event, so I guess I can't just rely on JB Weld. lol.

But since you guys put it that way, it makes a lot more sense... Thank you, Eric.

i have e fans and run water wetter too, dont have an oil cooler though. But still RBs run hot as hell

[vvtisupra]

a common mistake that I see people do, is run without fan shrouds.

last event my car peaked at ~78 deg C when it was after a run and turbo timing. On the tack it was about ~75 deg C.

Side mount + koyo + nismo thermostat + 19 row dual pass oil cooler + stock clutch fan+ 15-50wt Mobile 1

is my setup.

[FCDRIFT]

hahaha, hey jason ur gonna have to go up against ur best buddy elmo!!! WOOOT! oh, team rotary is gonna kick ass if all goes as planned with a special surprise guest.....DUNN DUNNN DUNNNNNN....!

[FCDRIFT]

steve u run stock boost with a side mount so of course u have no problems with cooling!!! i envy u....
