Thanks guys! We're trying to grow the NorCal scene and keep drifting alive up here! Thanks to everyone for the support!

Darius, as a host of the event I won't be driving much if any at all... I've got to make sure you guys get your seat time. I'll be out there a little of course... gotta break in the new ride ;)

Cool. Last drift battle didn't have much seat time at all (NOT fd pro am). Will it be better this year?

CleanS14
02-04-2007, 10:35 PM
Our goal is to have as much seat time as possible for the drivers. We can't guarantee any amount of seat time... only that we'll have continuous driving throughout the whole event. There will be no down time between run groups and we have the same rules as last year.

I'm not too sure what you consider a lot of seat time... but considering the field of drivers will be from novice to advanced (we will group drivers accordingly) there is always the chance of an off track which would cause down time and less seat time for some. I know we had our share of baps during the first event. Please take into consideration that this is not a parking lot event which usually produces the most driving time (other than a private event).

Hope that helps...

You should post questions in our website that we check regularly. You dont need to sign up, it's a blog site so all you need is name and post.

There might be a fee, I don't exactly know how much but I can contact Altamont and see how much they are charging.

what is up with the driver's meeting at the HOliday Inn? Is it for Nascar driver's, drifters, what?

blu808
02-17-2007, 03:07 PM
Considering that drifting is not a major thing for altamont, i would assume that the meeting is for the nascar guys.

Im sure it wouldnt hurt to have a drifter or two there to represent our sport, in case the nascar guys start talking crap about us.

Ditto on Luke bringing out the GTO! Seen that Top GEar episode... w/ Kazama driving...

Drift Battle Folks, will there be separate courses [recommended/enforced] for newbs/intermediates? Looks like there could be a couple courses arranged safely on the new setup... Also, is there still a skid pad? thnx, Justin [already signed up :)]

I spoke to Altamont the other day, they are repaving the whole infield.

Just waiting for the rain weather to go away.

Hoping it'll be done before March 11th. Lets cross our fingers.

repaving? really dont like sound of that. last time they were repaving, the begining of previous season got delayed ONLY few months. not mentioning surface suked. they should defintly do something about the dirt too.

it's time that people get serious about drifting in norcal, beacase socal is at least one year ahead of us, it's not like we dont have cars... why everything has to be done in last minute?

FaLKoN240
02-20-2007, 07:03 PM
Man, SoCal is like, LIGHT YEARS ahead of us, in this trend like all the others.

The repaving of Altamont the first time was when they were actually building the track to the format it is now.

Cool... wonder whut the NASCARS will have for runoff + speed scrubbing now... w/e, sounds good for us! Is TRUENOCOUPE Al? I was wondering who these Dirft X Battle ppl are...

Socal has more events because they live in a suburb/desert. More space, everyone has their own piece of the american dream, so they don't whine and require permits like they do in Norcal - an urban development... with public transportation that ppl use.

TRUENOCOUPE
02-22-2007, 02:27 PM

Hey Al,

Any idea about the waiting list? I e-mailed and want to see if its posted somewhere, like in the past.

I just wanted to verify that I'm on there as I didn't get any confirmation from Jay, whom I believe is busy with other things lately.

I know past events where it filled up, and there were 5-10 people on the waiting list that you eventually did add to the overall list... any chance you'll do it for this event?

Thanks!

Okay guys... I just got back from my vacation so I'll answer as many questions as a I can if Al hasn't already.

The event is from 9am - 5pm, there was an error on the flyer template we will updated it ASAP. Tech will start as soon as drivers are allowed to enter the venue at approximately 645am. A full schedule will be posted to the site mid next week and emailed to registered participants.

If you would like to be placed on the waiting list you can email us at [email protected] We will add you in your order of contact (date/time) to the list and you can show up the same time as the other drivers the day of the event with your cash in hand should someone not show on time or cancel the day of.

Cancellations: If you are cancelling you are responsible for finding your own replacement. However, seeing as there are at least 5 people on the waiting list from this thread already... feel free to contact us if you need help. All we will do is provide you with the waiting party's email address and it is up to both of you to coordinate the transfer. Once the spot is sold, the seller/cancelle' should notify us of the sale and replacement driver/car information so we can add them to our list.

The drivers meeting will occur on event day and event day only. This is MANDATORY. If you do not show up or are late (we're dicks) and you will not be able to participate in the event and will not receive a refund. I believe the AMP driver's meeting is for drivers/teams interested in the AMP facility and operations etc and is more tailored to the NASCAR guys.

AMP may charge a spectator fee to watch, however we will not be charging a spectator fee.

Any questions... I'm back and will answer them as best I can.

are there any teasers on how the courses will be set up?

There will be 2 courses, one will likely be reverse from our first event for the beginners... and the second we have to figure out still, we want to change them up at each event to keep it fresh and fun so everyone doesn't just know one config.

FYI to all participants... Keep in mind again there is an off track rule at our events that we will enforce due to the fact that AMP will complain if we ruin/put too much dirt on the track. Going off track also cuts into a ton of track time for the other drivers and nobody wants this! We will enforce it if you drive outside the limits of you or your vehicle.

Yah it's rough... BUT if you were a driver in the grid and your session was cut short because someone was driving beyond their limit and kept going off track causing shut downs to get them out of the dirt... you would be pissed!

We don't enforce it unless you go off twice... trust me nobody likes going off the first time anyway... something usually gets messed up!!! Staying on track will not only get you more seat time... it will save you money!

yep at the driftbattle I did last year I lost about half my driving time from monkeys using pushbrooms and dangerous lunatics operating cleaning machinery that left just enough dust for them to be completely useless.

that and my tie rod broke. and 3 people in my group wrecked. but mostly the dust.

Wow that was your group! I couldn't believe that people were still trying the same thing after the first guy hit...

Broken tie rods though... things like that you can't prevent.

Saving when you're out of control is as imporant to learn as sliding in control!!! This is why we want everyone to slide as if the whole track was bound by walls... nearly all of this one IS!!!

Joe, no passengers in car on the course at anytime unless they are an instructor, by passengers I mean your guests able to enter the pit area.

Luis, I don't know what Al has planned for the layout... we are going to have 2 courses though. No idea what about the layouts yet.

It seemed like they kept pushing even after understeering. They could have just eased up and wouldnt have crashed. Both i remember did the same thing. Oh well. hopefully they learned and wont make the same mistake again.

yep sometimes people understeer and they think that if they push the gas harder the back end will magically come loose to save the day. ya have to clutch kick or e-brake instead. or slow down but thats no fun.

One of the dudes that wrecked had his silvia front end fixed for a trackday a couple months later. I let him bum my spark plugs cuz my motor borked and then his car caught fire on the track. Hopefully year of the pig will be luckier for him.

If you buy any of our apparels it goes towards our competition prizes, staff uniforms, free shirts for all the drivers that are competing and it basically goes towards to DRIFTxBattle events in order for our drifting events to be succesful...

I would just like to give a big thank you to all our NEW staff. Coming out supporting our event and staffing for us with NO complains!

If it wasn't for those guys and gals, this event wouldn't be a success (IMO).

Also a big thank you to all the drivers for coming out and spectators supporting our event. No crashes! Which was great!

For the last 3 days Jay Pizo's and I only got about 1-3 hour of sleep. Goodnight and I will not be waking up for another 3 days.

Honestly, from all of the participants, how were the lines to get a run in? From a couple of those shots the line looks really long and the track configuration seemed to allow only one at a time.

Just wondering how many runs you all got in throughout the day. If you could count them on both hands or if you lost count.

That is because there was a group change. There's only 15 on each groups.

We only allow one car at a time. If we allow more than one car and the front car spins out, the follower can't do a full run...

To everyone that help us out.

Can you please send me an email at [email protected] I got some goodies for you guys.

Let me know your name and who you were... I know there was tons of you but it was very hard to remember all of you guys name.

Also thanks to our tech staff in the morning that move it quickly ASAP. Luke Lonberger, Roy Autofix and Jonathan Black Bomber.

I know there were a few of you guys that had a windshield crack, not current helmet and other small things. Please fix all that issue for our next event if you are planning to attend.

Thanks

hahaha... You call me Jonathan Black Bomber?? That's funny Al. I'll just call you PhuckT3 Al! hahaha
Luke was going easy on you guys in Tech... next event won't be as easy to slide through. To make it easier on us for next time everyone should have their own torque wrench and tools ready to tighten lugnuts for us to see. Hoods should stay popped in the tech line and everything should already be cleaned out of the cars ie: floor mats and loose articles should already be out of the cars.

I was taking it easy on the non safety items, such as dirty brake fluid, zip tied body panels, etc. I was suprised some of the cars passed, but in all it worked out great. To all the people I told to fix their cars. You wont be allowed to run at the next event if those items are not fixed.

From my point of view from being an instructor. I must say that everyone adapted very well throughout the day. I watched quiet a few people that started off kind of rusty, but ended up laying down runs that would have qualified top 16 at pro am. Great job guys.

Keep in mind for the next event we can not pass any cars that have tech issues. So dont think we are being mean if you dont pass, because you have been warned.


If you guys have any constructive input from the event let us know.

Personally I thought it went great. I even had a chance to slide around my completely stock GTO with a blown clutch and worn out diff. lol

i am kind of a new at drifting i have done road coarses and drags but not to much track drifting. Is there any previous exsperience required???

That's "BR&EE" (Brandy) car. Not sure if she's on here but she's on myspace somewhere. Seats are pretty cool or the driver's pretty? :hsdance:

Sonny you’re too good. I don’t think you can compete, got to give the rest of us a chance. haha just kidding. Yea thanks to everyone who made the event possible. Other then not getting any sleep before the event, i had tons of fun. Everything went very smooth. Oh and Al, I promise to try to keep my car quiet at the next event. =)

Don't see why not.
As long no top 16 FD and top 16 d1 then it's ok.

Plus there's 4 rounds so its points...

You know what I notice at this event vs the last one. Everyone was so friendly and not acting like IM TOO GOOD.

Just start talking to people, most of the new drifters here in norcal are really cool! Especially those team thrust guys, really helpful!

haha, that fender art is tiote. Was a good event. Thnx to everyone who helped. For the ppl who trippin about not knowing anyone, all my frends are out of the drift scene, or flakes, but I went ther by myself and ppl were coo. Just dont be shy about asking for help or seeing how other ppl approaching the course. IMO, main thing about these events is that you learn.

I learned that I should use wheels/tires that are slightly better matched size wise... cuz my car was all over unpredictable! :/ and seat time can't hurt... which is why you should just go! BTW, seat time was great. Each session was like 40min per course [A and B], and we got about 5ish runs per course out of the 8 sessions.

had a good time learned alot of stuff.. last time on the track was altimont back on 05 when the track was half what it is now.. thanks again drift battle, and my boys sonny, joe, george, for givin me some tips. and about passing tech lol... might need some help with that, windows not looking soo good.. and is your passenger seat considered a battery tie down?

I was the one with the home-made camera mount. I think tech was concerned about it possibly hitting my neck so I moved the PVC pipe to the driver side. Either way, I only posted one clip of me cuz my runs sucked. If u have constructive comments feel free to PM me or w/e... since this is a Motorsports post.

I was wondering about the Next event, I know it is competition but if some of us like to just practice and test our cars, do we still get seat time or if we loose the first round, we are out ? what's the setup for that event ??

CleanS14
03-17-2007, 02:44 AM
There will be ample practice before elimination starts. It will be non-stop as many runs as possible until we have to break to have drivers prep for elimination. If we have time after the competition we will open the track back up for extra runs... but ONLY if there is more time and AMP allows this.

There's a thread about the comp look there for info/updates...

wish i coulda joined all the fun... but sadly... school, no job, and no money to spare..... prevented me to go! arg... i dont even have money to spare to replace my all the time squeeky brakes and bald ass tires!!

i think ill have a easier class load spring qtr.. sooo that could give me enough free time for a part time job.... hopfully ill make it to one of the DB's...

yaba94070

quick question for all you guys that go to the track can some one tell me if i just bring a set of rear tires fo back up will that be enuff???

Raziel
03-20-2007, 08:59 AM
one extra set should be enough. The track didnt really eat up tire that bad. Unlike like old Altamont did.

yaba94070
03-20-2007, 09:01 AM
k thanks...
can i make it on that one set if i have 80% or should i bring another jsut incase

CleanS14
03-20-2007, 09:28 AM
It's always good to bring and extra set just in case, but we do not condone long burn outs on the track etc. Since this is the case and the surface is not harsh ass Aren mentions I would say you'd be just fine with 80% of tread left on your rears.
