NM Drift Series Registration Final (http://www.nmdrift.com/events.html)

Date is October 27, 2007, Cost is 150 dollars, gates open at 7am, drivers meeting at 8:30am. Registration is OPEN, Dont wait to register, as registration will only be open until Oct. 15th, 2007. No registration at the gate.

The event will be held at Sandia Motor Speedway in Albuquerque, NM directions are here (http://www.sandiamotorsports.com/map.shtml)


This event will be double points so No One is Safe and the trip to Laughlin could be there for the taking!!!!

As always this event is instructional and continues with the same format as the last event.

More information will follow as well as drivers list updates.

Last event of the year and lets show the track what they can expect for 2008.

NM Drift Group in conjunction with Drift Day/ Drift Association is pleased to announce NMDD4. The expansion of national events into the Rocky Mountain States. Drift Association with Drift Days going from East to West, and todays professional drivers support, Albuquerque New Mexico based NM Drift Group LLC is excited to offer all the advantages associated with Drift Days in the U.S., such as Drift 101, Advance License Testing, Professional Instruction, all day skid pad and Tandem Practice (requires roll cage and racing suit.) This brings the oppurtunity of advancement closer than ever for local NM residents and surrounding areas. Drifting has become the most popular new motorsport (http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=110446#) and NM Drift Group has partnered to bring the action closer to the novice, intermediate and advanced drifting population of NM, CO, AZ and West Texas.

To everyone who is coming to ABQ for the drift day, there is a 40 dollar practice night the friday night before, not run by the NMDG and not a "drift" event (but you can drift). Good opportunity to get some test runs in or to get some grip runs in.


From Racingsouthwest.com
"This could possibly be the last cheap driving event out at Sandia this year. Please come and support it and show that RSW can actually get people out to the track. If you were at the track last time, it was a bit cluttered and we learned a lot about being able to get you guys more track time. We will be able to accommodate more people with more driving time this time around. The schedule of times is posted on the poster below. If you can't make it until later, that is fine, we will work you in but please make every effort to be there before 5pm. Price has gone to $40 for these events as $20 just wasn't cutting the mustard for what it takes to pay the staff at Sandia and have the lights turned on as well as pay for insurance. But you will have some decent driving time, I promise.(as long as the weather holds out)

Yes, we know about this being the same night as the Sagebrush autocross. Unfortunately Sandia is not super easy to work with on getting dates, let alone switching them after they are booked. We are talking with Sagebrush Church right now to see if they can move theirs to Saturday or Sunday so that all of us can enjoy both events, rather than compete and have to choose between them.

TO THE DRIFTERS:
This is NOT a drift event, HOWEVER you will be able to drive as you please if you catch my drift. (no pun) Meaning, if you are driving and you "accidentally" get the back end out and slide your way through the course, nobody will say anything. HOWEVER, if you are driving dangerously, flying off the track, or spinning out a few times causing people to pile up behind you, you will be asked to leave. You must drive the entire course just as everybody else, but how you drive it is up to you."
