damit, its on the 1st? I gotta go to WSIR on 2nd :(

Not enuff tires.

[DRIFTING_SIL_EIGHTY]

hmmm.....might do this. just need to make sure my motor survives this weekends event.

[A Spec Products]

Do what you guys gotta do to make it!

Nah, I know things come up, but El Toro is such an easy venue, just cause its literally just a drive into OC, rather than trekking up the 14 to WSIR

[jackjack]

i need to move to socal...... damn

[steve shadows]

i might do this shit if I cant make the 17th.

I want to blow up some tires with my retared torque curve.


Its not going to be a total cluster fuck like GymKhana will it?

[xpl2007]

SICK IM THERE!!! I hope!

[titoray]

SICK EVENT!
I wish!

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

is it 50 peeps total or 50 drift & 50 grip? either way i'll join on friday!

[A Spec Products]

Yeah I was planning on doing the 17th DD but I couldn't make it as well

Gymkhana was a different situation, mainly because a gymkhana course took longer to run through, and there were a lot more drivers

But like any other race event / drift day, by signing up you gotta suck it up and deal with whatever happens that day, I can't guarantee how much driving time, etc you will get

This event should be the same as any other Drift Association day, in regards to run time/setup/layout

If anything, with that autocross setup, it might pull some drivers off the drift course, which might equate to more drift time

is it 50 peeps total or 50 drift & 50 grip? either way i'll join on friday!

No, 50 drivers TOTAL

I'm not sure how big the autocross course will be at the moment, so those who are going for pure autocross might want to wait until the layout is posted

[Bobafreak]

nice! i might go and film or see if this guys wanna do this. I might take the ferio for autox.

[hitman]

whats the deal with tandem?

[A Spec Products]

whats the deal with tandem?

I'd say nay on the tandem

I don't think I've heard of tandem being allowed by Drift Day for a while, at least at the El Toro location

I'll find out

I want a smoothie

Talk to cha boy get me one

[slw240sx]

Why cant Ohio be next to Cali? i hate winter... Maybe during the summer ill bring the crew out.

[[email protected]`S13]

its at a airforce base?

thats sick... spectators?

[A Spec Products]

its at a airforce base?

thats sick... spectators?

Talk to "steve shadows" he is an expert on this

Yes, spectators, I think usually its like $5 or $10 to watch (for parking), so you could stuff a car or carpool with a friend driving the event

[CleanS14]

See you there brah! El toro is a ton of fun!!! I jus hate them cones!!!

[Skullavera]

Hmmmm....I may go to this one.

[A Spec Products]

Were you wondering about the fee? It's prob the same as regular drift days, gymkhana too I think held @ El Toro Base...

Yes, spectators, I think usually its like $5 or $10 to watch (for parking), so you could stuff a car or carpool with a friend driving the event

Any new info on the size of the autox course & expected # of runs if I only did autox?

[stinky_180]

Any new info on the size of the autox course & expected # of runs if I only did autox?

was wondering the same thing... any news on the autocross? whats the rules for the autocross as well?

[steve shadows]

I dont like baiting and switching.

it rings of shitty gymkhana day and putting up with event officials who ran the gamet like they were fired police man working as secuirity witha chip on their shoulders.

Post #16

I forget, but I believe they charge per vehicle that enters (as a spectator)

Should be like $5 or $10 bucks

If you are driving you dont pay that fee obviously



Any new info on the size of the autox course & expected # of runs if I only did autox?

I'm currently finding out more info on this

I talked to the organizer, he said they are having a meeting tonight about the auto-x

So once I get the info I will post it

[koukikat180sx]

*** UPDATE!!! ***

We are changing things up and adding something new! We will still have our drift section, but for all of you "non-drifters" we will have an "Industry Day's Free For All" course. (Similar to an autox course). To register for this its $75. We are limiting it to 28 drivers. Keep in mind that a usual autox will cost around $60-75 and you will have to work the course. You will not have to work the course. Not only that you usually only get around 12-16 runs. This event you should get 20+ runs. Bring extra tires. We will still have a section for drifting which costs $115 (limited to 40 entries). If you pay $115 you will have access to both of the sections. At the end of the day we will have a little competition. (Great prizes to be announced! ) Sign up ASAP!

(BTW... i like the title of this thread. :))

[bo2o]

too bad my car doesnt run rite now...

but will this ever happen agen?

Thanks Kat for clearing up the details!

Events like this happening again depend on the support that is given

i.e if you want to see more events like this, come out and run them!

[CAPTAINNEO]

I dont want "or"

i want a definitive price.

this is bullshit :bs:


also

you all drive me up the fucking creek when you call it an AF base.

It was never an army base, nor army air corps base, nor Air Force base EVER

it was however NAVY way way way back when tustin was used to house Air Ships and then Marines, known as El Toro Marine Corps Air Station.


NOT Air FORCE


it has always been marines, never AF

[brokeAs240sx]

Cool, sounds like the autox will be fun.

A few follow up questions -

1) What is the approx length of the course - i.e. either in terms of miles or expected lap times (40 seconds, 60 seconds, etc)

2) Is timing going to be done/calculated/displayed real-time, i.e. you know how fast you went immediately after you run? Or will it be not available or you have to ask someone for your time?

Thank you for that clarification

I made the necessary changes

But I don't really appreciate your attitude

$5 or $10 does it really matter?

I'm not rich but come see me I'll hand you a $5

You gotta chill out

[stinky_180]

soudsn very tempting for us non-drifters... but i dont have enough money for extra tires :( ...

Gymkhana and Industry Drift Day are hosted by two different organizations.

The only thing they have in common (besides Drift Association) is the fact that its held at El Toro.

Yes, if you are driving then you are required to have a helmet

- "Helmet is SNELL certified M95 or SA95 or newer and free of damage"

In regards to ride alongs:

- "Passenger ride-along permission is at our discretion; it is not guaranteed"

More of the exact rules can be found here:

LOLLLLL! Logan you should work for Drift Association. :keke:

To answer your question, THERE WILL BE NO SPECTATOR FEE!!!!!!

To answer your other question, I have no idea how long the course is going to be. We (the industry day staff) just decided on this last night. A course still has to be worked out. So far the only information I have is on the drift courses. there will be a slower second gear course and a faster 2/3rd gear course and a skid pad. (the courses will be typical to what you see at a regular drift day for those of you who have been to one.) I will get back to you when we figure out what kind of track we're going to have for the free for all. It's most likely going to be big enough to autox at a higher speed and you will be able to drift it if you like...

[koukikat180sx]

Justin your ass better be there whether or not your car is drivable or not. :D

yea, you can go in and out. your hand will be stamped, or you'll have a bracelet or something. many people go in and out, to get gas, pick up food, take a dump, etc.

[A Spec Products]

LOLLLLL! Logan you should work for Drift Association. :keke:

oh yeah, i was just on yahoo maps and shows that you get off the 5 and you are stuck once you get off the freeway. are there gonna be signs to enter the event?

i know from the 5 south, exit sand canyon, make a left and a quick right (not sure about directions from the 5 north, as i dont know how the off ramps curve, etc). you'll hit a 'guard tower' and they'll instruct you from there...as for food, normally people just leave the premisis and p/u food.

[mrizsuki]

cool. thanks alot. see all you people out there. most likely i'll go.

[jsuh s14]

i paid! excited for this event! where do we see the roster?

[GSXRJJordan]

Jack is the greatest drifter in all of one block radius.

Nah, we're both bad looking dudes

Sad faces all around

[yoko86]

can a driver like myself that is not affiliated with any company pay and come drive ?

[Yuri]

I just signed up yesterday.
I knew this whole "working for a large automotive aftermarket company" thing would come in handy some day.
Now that I'm 5-lug, I've got a ton of leftover Plymouth musclecar wheels and tires that need to be used up in my garage.
I'm there, just picked up a new helmet last night, so I don't get hassled for the SA2000 sticker that fell off my Sparco.


Oh, can we bring a seperate car for the grip portion?

[A Spec Products]

Yes, just send paypal and put "referred by A Spec"

Typically this is only open to those in the industry, but that's why I posted it

Yuri as far as bringing two cars, I think that's possible, but you'd probably have to pay for both the "drift" course ($115) + the "grip" course ($60-75)

Then again I'm not 110%, hopefully Kat will chime in

[brokeAs240sx]

Yuri as far as bringing two cars, I think that's possible, but you'd probably have to pay for both the "drift" course ($115) + the "grip" course ($60-75)

Actually, I was just reading the web site about that:

"-Drivers register and pay, not cars. Any driver may drive more than one vehicle during a practice event, as long as that driver is registered and the vehicle has passed tech inspection."

SWEET!

I'm still waiting on more details about the autox course, how timing will be done, etc before I send my money.

Nice!
In that case, I'm going to understeer the Duster around the course while it makes manly V8 noises while not going very fast and lifting the only wheel getting power. But I'll look so cool in my AEM sticker adorned cheap SA2005 helmet that you can buy at autobacs!

Hee haw

[Bobafreak]

Man this thing is coming by fast. Seeing that ill be the slow of the bunch ill stay to the right.:keke:

[TheSquidd]

99.9% sure I'm going.

[s13coupedrfter]

Ahh this is coming up so fast! I'm trying to get the car ready...how many spots left? Thanx

[koukikat180sx]

as a member of the industry day staff, you can register 2 cars to one driver. please let us know... :)

[cfrost]

lol I like the thread title

so good

[CleanS14]

as a member of the industry day staff, you can register 2 cars to one driver. please let us know... :)

What about 2 drivers to 1 car?

[koukikat180sx]

lol I like the thread title

i know its awesome isn't it? you're coming out righttttt, mr. bad ass driver that totally kicked butt at pro am. ;)

What about 2 drivers to 1 car?

you can register 2 drivers to one car as long as each driver pays for an entry. but keep in mind it does put a lot of stress on the car.

[cfrost]

I'll try to make it out :)

been a while since I did some fun parking lot stuff!

[yoko86]

PAID ! What time are we suppose to be their by?

[koukikat180sx]

umm... driver's meeting is usually around 8:30. Gauge your time from there. Remember you still need to tech before then. Most of us are setting up at the venue around 6am. :ugh:

[Yuri]

I'm just bringing one car.
After driving the Duster in the mountains saturday night, I am not bringing the Duster.:bite:

It would be a complete waste of track time.

[brokeAs240sx]

Any more news on the autox?

I'm most concerned about how timing will be done. Do you have the proper equipment to do this (i.e. timing lights, large display @ end so you can see what time you got), or is this done via some other method?

[qwikspool]

im just going to spectate.

[xpl2007]

Wait wait wait!!! You can drive all your cars as long as you the driver register??
Plus 1 for DD!!!!
If you need help let me know im down. Only did 1 Drift event and my car is not ready as usual...
Ill be coming........
Anyone need parts i have lots and tires!!!

[CAPTAINNEO]

Kat or Logan (or whoever else is helping out with this thing...) how many spots open?

not so much for me...those guys that were with me this weekend are considering staying for the weekend and driving once more before going back.

No one bought my Sportmax. Bleh.

No $$$ for tires.

just run on the rims!!

is it possible to pay onsite the day of?

[A Spec Products]

is it possible to pay onsite the day of?

Yes, BUT:

- Register first at least @ IDD site, or email the name, car, and skill level to the IDD email

- Also you need to specify if you want DRIFT/AUTOX or AUTOX ONLY

- Also included who referred you (in this case, Logan @ A Spec)

No one bought my Sportmax. Bleh.

No $$$ for tires.

I still have tires left over from ASB II (and 1....sad) cause I drive like a punani

Not hardcore like Squidd

Dousan helped me fix my aero last night, so ready to rock and roll!

[brokeAs240sx]

Kat or Logan...

Any idea on how timing will be done (if at all)? Big timing display like SCCA or laptop/ask me like gymkhana?

[mikey0129]

wat happens if u register and pay for the event and u dont pass the tech ?

[jsuhs14]

if your afraid that your not gonna pass tech, then you should get it pre teched (if they offer)

[A Spec Products]

Kat or Logan...

Any idea on how timing will be done (if at all)? Big timing display like SCCA or laptop/ask me like gymkhana?

According to the organizers, this event is supposed to be a for fun event

With that being said, due to the lower number of people running, unfortunately they cannot justify spending $500+ on timing lights, boards, etc

Most likely it will be a grassroots style, with stopwatches, write outs, etc

With that being said, if you want super accurate timing for course runs, you might want to stick with normal SCCA events, who have the equipment readily available

Typically IDD events are meant for networking and enjoyment purposes, to bring together those in the industry and their friends

But I know a lot of you take your driving serious, and while the goal isn't to downplay this, the goal of IDD is to have a fun day, rather than a serious day (if that makes sense)

wat happens if u register and pay for the event and u dont pass the tech ?

You should review the rules, I believe there is a list of things that are factored in for tech

Review those tech rules and double check your equipment before going to the event

If you don't pass tech, typically it's something small you can fix easy (like battery tie down, battery terminal not covered, etc)

If you don't pass tech and its something big, then its usually something you should fix for your own safety (like wheel bearing)

You will not get a refund if you don't pass tech, not because they are mean, but because they are not letting you run for your own safety (and other's safety)

[brokeAs240sx]

Thanks... I just realized something. Is there a set price for the autox only yet (or did I miss something)?

[A Spec Products]

Thanks... I just realized something. Is there a set price for the autox only yet (or did I miss something)?

It is $75 for just the autox course.

what time does the event start? I don't know if it just me but it doesn't say anywhere.

http://img.alibaba.com/photo/51102432/Excuse_Box.jpg

Do what you guys gotta do to make it!

Nah, I know things come up, but El Toro is such an easy venue, just cause its literally just a drive into OC, rather than trekking up the 14 to WSIR

Speak For Yourself! LOL!

[Yuri]

Hope it stays raining tommorow.
That could add some fun to it.

[brokeAs240sx]

what time does the event start? I don't know if it just me but it doesn't say anywhere.

I just realized a couple days ago that the latest info is on their site forums. You have to sign up & check there.

Logan & Kat are just nice & awesome enuf to relay that info over here.

Last I read, you should be there by 7:30.

Nah, rain doesnt make it fun unless you own a 86 or KA

Then you finally feel like you have power

But if you have SR in the rain, its just like

womp
womp
womppp

Not as fun as much as

WOMPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
SMOKE

Speak For Yourself! LOL!

Everytime we go to a WSIR event everyone in LA (and people like me from OC) want to stab ourselves

The 14 is a lonely stretch of road.... :(

[azndoc]

Try the 5 down from norcal to either wsir OR el toro. Fcking stupid amount of track events happening in dec.

wish i could be there.

[kensreliableb18b]

it was great! lots of track time. thanks you IDD especially danny and jdmrice!

[qwikspool]

came by to see wassup. cool and nice day.

[A Spec Products]

it was great! lots of track time. thanks you IDD especially danny and jdmrice!

yeah goddamn so much track time

ran out of tires by like 2pm

had to take it easy on some runs just to save tires so i wasnt done by lunch

lol

most of the day on the big drift course it was just maybe 3 people total in line

no run groups, just run whatever you want...autox, drift, small drift, skidpad, etc

thanks IDD

[CleanS14]

Yep... can't wait til the next IDD... a lot of runs not enough tires... sucks.

[koukikat180sx]

thanks for coming down from nor. cal jay! and logan finally came out. im gonna expect to see you guys at dd40. :) hahaha.

i saw yuri's pretty car!!!!!!

i'm glad you guys had fun. Since you all enjoyed it, this past IDD will not be our last! We're hoping to do one early next year! :rawk:

[jsuhs14]

anybody got pictures?

[Yuri]

Super fun event.
I completly filled my car with tires and they still weren't enough.
The big course was awesome, top of third is so cool.
Too bad the surface of El Toro completly ate through a set of my ST115's in under 6 minutes.:-/
I was out of tires by two, but I also drifted my roomates BMW 8-series, which was fun and surreal at the same time.

The autocrossing was a blast, I've never done it before, and still pulled off better times than almost every BMW M-car there.

I might start autocrossing. :)

[azndoc]

The event was cool.

Logan and Jay were killing the the big course.

Can't say I didn't try to make it fun at least.

[Yuri]

anybody got pictures?

+ 1

[CleanS14]

I'll post the lame shots I got as soon as I take them off my cam... I'm a total photo newb so sorry if they suck.

[CAPTAINNEO]

jay's photos suck. only his cars are nice.

thanks for bringing down the lip...checks in the mail.

[A Spec Products]

anybody got pictures?

Yeah man I wanted pics on the big course

But due to the layout, I dont think they would allow camera people in the spots that would make for good shots

Even with mega dick lens I think it wouldn't come out right

I wanted someone to stand at the apex of the big sweeper and take shots

LOL @ Yuri in the BMW

That thing was SWANGIN, OEM suspension style

Looked fun borderline scary

The wheels you designed looked good in person

My friend Allen came late but took some hard park shots of me and Jay to test out a new camera

Those were your guys cars?
My roomate and I thought they were rad!
did you paint the emos, or are they normally that sweet color?

The BMW was a lot of fun.
Once it hit the bumpstops it was game on.

We even attempted the big course with it.

paraphrased:
Naoki: "Wtf? You can't take this car on the course. Is it even teched?"
Me: points to tech sticker.
Naoki: "Well ok, I guess, but you can't take a passenger."
My roomate: "Um why?"
Course workers: "Why not, we've been letting him take passengers so far. He's advanced, why not"
Naoki:"Well, I guess so, since you're advanced certified, even though it took you 9 tries to get it."
Me: "8!"

wow, that car was hard to freaking transition and keep from spinning on the big course.

[kensreliableb18b]

awesome pics, aspec.

i shot a vid of alex driving richard's car on the big course. if i get a chance ill put it up.

Haha yeah, I should've said hi too, but it wouldve been awkward dude conversation haha

But yeah the BMW looked wicked scary when you were trying to break it loose

The course worker was like nah he's cool (when you pulled up in that thang)

But yeah the surface is kinda unforgiving at high speed

4th gear down first side then big sweeper to 3rd gear down the second side

I used up a pair of fresh Federals to the cords in 4 runs :(

Mad smokey and the bear though

[Yuri]

4th gear down first side then big sweeper to 3rd gear down the second side


wow, I wish I had the power to drift in 4th. I was having trouble keeping it in 3rd. I'd get to about most the way down the front side, and then have to downshift to 2nd to build up revs so I could get back to third for the sweeper.
First time I've actually had tires blow out in the middle of a run.

Yeah we were starting behind the grid, near the cones that blocked off the section to build more speed

I could stay in 4th until the big sweeper, where I'd downshift to 3rd

Then just mash it and waste tires into the air haha

[brokeAs240sx]

Event was awesome, THANKS! Grip was fun since there were almost no cars in our group, haha.

Maybe next time, we can have a bigger track w/ more technical aspects :)

[A Spec Products]

Oh yeah Yuri, those are custom powdercoated CR Kai's done locally

They were supposed to be silver silver (when they showed me the color chip)

But they changed the "silver" paint code mid powdercoating (without telling me) so it came out battleship gray-ish

I was disappointed but still came out fine

Which car were you?
There were some S-chassis totally tearing up the auto x.

i dont like auto-x cause that takes skill and concentration

i have neither of the two

i prefer drift-sking!

I was the slow one in the 240 convertible. The other ones there were my buddies, totally destroyed my times, hahaha. Best I could run was a 36.66 w/ some pointers from my faster buddy.

HAHAHA, from where I was standing, the drift course looked like it took a lot more skill to me.

[Yuri]

Muhahaha!
