2 courses like last time. But just so all the beginners know. The advanced track really isn't that hard and as long as you take it easy you'll be fine.

There was a chance of rain at our first 4 events. I guess it's just part of who we are, lol.
We are drifting Saturday, rain or shine. We've already paid for the facility and there is no rain date. We need a good car count to help keep us going. Don't let a little rain scare you out of drifting.
Come on out!
We'll see you Saturday.

Driften in the rain is a great time to learn car control and an extreme advantage for low powered
cars
If I can pull the money out of my ass I will be there!!! 100% of rain!!!!

Anyone who sees this in time and wants to come out and drift. $40 at the gate. I'll refund the three cars who have pre-registered the difference if I get 15 cars. Come on out and drift all day long for $40. Don't let the weather scare you.
See you tomorrow.
$40 to slide the Ranger around on a wet track all day? I need a helment.

Question - Will my truck pass tech with 3 seat bolts? It's kind of ghetto rig at the moment, havent had time to make up some correct brackets, but i've been driving it for who knows how long with it attached this way and it works fine.

04-24-2010, 12:09 AM
blah blah blah, come drive lol best place to spectate is from the driver seat...
I'm packed and ready to head out in like 3 hours, I need to get to sleep, plenty of time for that while i'm driving t/m :D
If there was ever a time for the hold-outs to drive it would be now. $40 and rain so most anything RWD will get sideways.

tornados pwn drifting.
It was raining pretty hard. Lots of water collecting in the pit area. I suppose the threat of a tornado was enough for them to shut it down for the day. My dad had just gotten there from M'boro when they shut it down and he wasn't very happy about it either lol. I had to pack my wheels and tires up, go drop my helment off, and then change wheels/tires in a car wash bay. Still got soaked lol. I had some fun sliding the Ranger around and watching though.
I lost the key to my locking lug nuts, and then the key to the cheap locking lugs I bought broke, so I had to exchange them for some regular lug nuts. Was pretty lame lol.
BTW, if anyone may have found my lug key, let me know lol.

the event went on as scheduled, if you showed up on time and got in there were several hours of good seat time with different track conditions. Track got shut down around noon. Ended up with like 8 cars but mainly myself and 2 others after the rain got going real good. I had a blast even though i ended up soaked, loading a car and tools in the rain sucked, thank you to the two guys in the mustang that stayed and helped me load the thing :D
