how much is it to become a member of the SCCA

[jaae86]

Depending on where you sign up.....Sac SCCA charges $25 for anyone 25 and below and $80 for anyone 26 and above. I think SF SCCA charges $45 for 25 and below and same for 26 and above. Check out www.sfrscca.org for more info.

[anthony240]

Well it's also kinda near Mexico and California Speedway. Just hope they promotes drifting events on that track. Hehe as to Mexico. I hope the cops don't care about reckless driving or else I am gonna have a hard time explaining everything to them :wavey: .

[dct223]

OoooOOoo im gonna go!

[DRO916]

supportin SCCA...but also, when's the next US DRIFT in sonoma/infineon?

[kazuo]

Hehe as to Mexico. I hope the cops don't care about reckless driving or else I am gonna have a hard time explaining everything to them :wavey: .

You will have to explain to your friends how your car got stolen from you in Mexico by the police...

[jy116]

when u find out, let us know if we hafto be members... As of now, I don't plan to renew my SFR membership... TOO EXPENSIVE!!! Sac membership sounds much more worth it, hope we won't need it, OR hope I can register with Sac region instead :/

[jaae86]

jy116, once you sign up with Sac SCCA. You can use that membership at any SCCA events. Sac region covers the rest.

[jy116]

coo... does Sac Region have a separate membership form? I go to the sfrscca.org/solo2 site and only get the $80 membership application. The Sac site doesnt have as membership link [that I see]...

[Sneaker Chimp]

Sounds cool. Count me in.

[sLiDewAys]

HAHAH SIKE, yeah ill be there with those ugly sac people probly... whoot w hoot. drifting is gay, i think im gonna bring my moped n do some donuts! JP. be there. or be SQUARE!

[balmo]

cool! so close to the bay. ill be there.

[NZO]

For people asking about membership:
For SFR Bay Area events (NOT Sacramento or Fresno), you must be a member of SCCA, able to present official documentation (like a membership card). Most clubs and SCCA Regions don't require membership, so check with your club to see their requirements.

Mike, Its been awhile. See you there!

[eurosil80]

[CleanS14]

Jeff, know what the headcount is like so far? Some guys from my car club here at work wanna give it a try...

[jaae86]

Jeff, know what the headcount is like so far? Some guys from my car club here at work wanna give it a try...

I will be in a meeting with Sac SCCA next week and will find out. Im pretty sure there are still some space available. Just tell your buddies to go ahead and sign up. Thanks.

[Drunk Bastard]

will i be able to sign up for SCCA the day of the event? Also, I'm in the SF region of SCCA, if i sign up in sac will they honor the SF membership? :ugh:

[ma71supraturbo]

will i be able to sign up for SCCA the day of the event? Also, I'm in the SF region of SCCA, if i sign up in sac will they honor the SF membership? :ugh:


1st, Sacramento is a chapter of the SF region, so your membership is the same. I believe any regional SCCA license is good for scca events around the country anyway, but I'm not sure.

2nd, SCCA membership isn't required for this event.

3rd, Sign-ups are not being accepted on the day of the event

[Toahk]

I sent my money friday, see you guys there.

[jaae86]

Here are the confirmed drivers so far:
Drivers --- Hometown
John Nicolini --- Willows
Dennis Rhee --- Sacramento
LeoPaulo Valmores --- Brentwood
Michael Aquino --- Hayward
Marc DeAsis --- Milpitas
Hung-Wen Sun --- San Jose
Mike Ruane --- San Mateo
Bud Lee --- San Jose
Andy Lee --- San Jose
Jeff Gore --- Redding
Raymond Balingit --- Lincoln
Richard Cunanan --- San Jose
Jayson Pizarro --- San Jose
Aaron Lim --- Foster City

There are 14 drivers so far. Keep em coming guys. Remember, the deadline is on Mar 12th. See you all there.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

How come no one is signing up for this event?

There was so much hype and....

-Al

[Var]

i'm just waiting to see if i'll have money for tires.

[balmo]

ill start post whoreing some msg forums, myspace, friendster, etc.

[NZO]

Ugh, once again I'm still trying to put my pos car together and get it ready but I'm thinking I might just sign up anyway to support the event. You need 40 people minimum? What if currently signed up people front the money for open spots, would SCCA still let it happen?

[Knuckles]

hopefully ill get ahold of a S14 VLSD and put it in by then...well see

[TurDz]

No one knew that this event would fall during finals week for a lot of colleges with a quarter system.

if it was before or even better, after, I bet there'd be at least 6 more drivers immediately.

[jaae86]

TurDz (Chris), I know it sucks that it falls between many of you guys finals week. But, this is the only date we can get from the fairgrounds. I'm just hoping we get more people to sign up since this will be the first ever for SCCA. This will eventually open up more things for us up here in Nor-Cal.

Nzo (Chris), thanks for the continuing support. I dont want you to just sign up just because, I want you to have fun and enjoy the event. Dont sweat it. SCCA will have the event as long as we have the minimum amount of entries filled.

If this doesn't go through, it will be difficult to get something like this going again. This is a continuing problem with Nor-Cal, people like to talk but not walk the talk. I know it kinda sucks that you have to mail the check to register. But, this is something new for SCCA and Im slowly working with them on how things should be.

Paul, Dave and Al, thanks for spreading the word. Laters.

[blu808]

hi jeff :yum:

[Andrew Bohan]

hi luke :wtc:

that guy said he's gonna pink people who just say hi and don't say anything else. watch out.

[Var]

ya seriously it's getting old. and you're not getting any less gay by posting more.

[jaae86]

Hi Luke :naughty:

[ThatGuy]

hi luke

that guy said he's gonna pink people who just say hi and don't say anything else. watch out.

Hi Luke

Congratulations. You are hereby Pinked for 1 month. Same goes for you Luke.

[RSP13-Sideways]

Dont pink jay, i drew him into it. Pink me for 2 months instead.
Sorry.

Luke

[Drunk Bastard]

how many spots are still available?

[TRUENOCOUPE]

As you can see, 40 is needed and theres only about 14 registered.

Do the math.

-Al

[anthony240]

hey jeff! you know I'm down!!! I just sent in payment a couple days ago. this event better go down! I'll see what I can do, since I'm one of the people closest to the venue (shit I'll put in an ad on the paper if I have to!)

[TRUENOCOUPE]

People are all talk. Complaining about BW is too far, and blah blah. For $130 for 3.5 hours of track time... Geezzz.

And now that $75 bucks that is around the corner... You know who you are, E-Drifters.

-Al

[x_13]

create some cheap ass flyer so more people will know about this then maybe more people will signed up.

[Drunk Bastard]

As you can see, 40 is needed and theres only about 14 registered.

lets see....

great, thanks!!! :keke:

[RSP13-Sideways]

Luke I like how you use my screen name to say, "Pink me for two months" LOLLERSKATES! :goyou:

Anyway, let's see if I'm gonna be going.....

[ja89s13]

I cant believe you guys put me in the doghouse. I didnt do anything besides say hi to Luke...whats up with that??? Now I have to resort on using my buddy's log in just to see the status of my post.

This is Jeff by the way. I need to get back immediately since I have some updates in regards to the drifting practice event. Shesh!

[Var]

Jeff you may not have seen it but "ThatGuy" already gave 2 warnings about saying hi . He said next person that does it gets pinked. Ignorance doesnt go excused around here ..even if it wasnt your fault. Hopefully you get the benifit of the doubt and get your status back.

[Knuckles]

Jeff you may not have seen it but "ThatGuy" already gave 2 warnings about saying hi . He said next person that does it gets pinked.

he said that in this post?....where? even i didnt see that.....getting banned for saying hi? :loco: man :gives:.....pinking people for saying hi now that gave me a great impression of this board...

[Var]

no not in this post. I got banned for posting in a post when i wasnt supposed post..i thought i was whack but whatever. im just glad i got back on

[Andrew Bohan]

jeff, in this thread, after luke said hi, i reminded everyone that That Guy had issued a warning about pinking people for it. and then you did it TWO POSTS LATER. so yea.

[D1sucks]

Just do what i did and create a other screen name.

Sorry Jay

[Drunk Bastard]

Var and Andrew are right tho.....ThatGuy did give a couple warnings :blah:

[D1sucks]

Thats true. Sorry i didnt call last night Joe. I got sidetracked. hit me up.

[thx247]

Jeff I'm down if you guys need more drivers. I need to get different tires though...or a supercharger.

[ja89s13]

I still dont agree of me being banned. One or two post of something small to say isnt a big deal. Why go power hungry and banned people???

On better and important things, Sac SCCA will be giving out hats and stickers for those who had signed up. A package with all the information about the event will be provided as well. Plus more people signed up! They will be putting the drivers list on the Sac SCCA site soon. Since I will not be able to do anything at this site, for now go to http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=95526 for updates in regards to this event.

Chris (Turdz), Dave and the rest that supporting on this. Thanks for understanding on where I was coming from.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Added it to my site.

Im sure we can fill this in with no problem.

-Al

[CleanS14]

Yeah with eDrifters like me!!!

[yusuke1923]

were is it taking place... as in... what state is this on?

[CleanS14]

Jeff, how are the courses being configured? Normal skidpad, KK stuff, small course and a big one? Any chance they'll be a 3rd gear sweeper involved in one of them? Just asking cuz I know a few people holding out because they're bored with the 2nd gear stuff :x:

-Jay

[Knuckles]

intresting question!

[z_boi]

[Agent_S13]

Why don't you click on the links posted in the thread by Jeff or Jay? (Hell, he even posted above you, so you'd think that you could atleat check the links before posting this kind of question)

I did check the 2nd link and it doesn't seem to be up right now. The first link that shows the "Stockton Fairgrounds" should give you a clue about the location. Not to mention who is hosting the event SFRSCCA -- San Francisco/Sacramento. Then you can do a mapquest search and see how far from SoCal you'd have to drive to participate in this event.

Seems easy, right?

[RSP13-Sideways]

I'm signing up on Monday.....

[Knuckles]

wow they are allowing a second driver...kewl :rawk:

[yusuke1923]

ohh its in Norcal? wow... deng... I really wanna go... so far... *sniff

[Drift101]

quick question, 75 bucks per person or 75 bucks per car? also, does it cost anything to have ride-alongs?

[balmo]

75 per person. my friend paid 75 and he's co-driving my car

[ghostuss]

Woot march 19, that's after finals. I will be back at bay area. I guess I am in.

[jy116]

alrite! good job ppl! Glad to see the list almost at the minimum of 40 [as of now]...! I just wanna say lets get the max # of ppl to go to this [66], so they kno they can expect us if they have more events! Spread the word!


"does it cost anything to have ride-alongs?"

NOPE, just need a snell95 or newer helmet. If its anything like SFR, they will have like 2 loaner helmets if u leave ur license with them while u have it.

[007jpang]

i think i might go... need spare tires and rims though.

[Drift101]

SWEET!!!
Hmmm... but don't we need our license to drive??? Lol...... rhetorical question!

[Andrew Bohan]

i don't think you're gonna get pulled over at a freakin EVENT ahaha

[NZO]

I think I saw Jeff say you need a license but I'm too lazy to look.

[jy116]

hm, never thot about that. For SFR SCCA autoX events u just show up and pay, and show ur membership card. Since this is an open event for non members, maybe they might check for drivers license... wouldnt want any in/voluntary man slaughterers drifting around would ya?! Gues u should call the guy

sweet, its over 40 ppl now :] Any local ppl got tips on what to bring/not to bring? Safe to leave rims laying around?

[Toahk]

Is it going to be safe for me to bring a tool box and leave it at the pits?

[anthony240]

At autox events at Stockton there's a security guard around, but this isn't a normal autox, there'll probably be more people (especially spectators), hopefully they up the security level to orange or something.

[ma71supraturbo]

Is it going to be safe for me to bring a tool box and leave it at the pits?


I wouldn't leave anything unattended.

[NZO]

Would be nice to have a pit area away from spectators but dreams usually remain dreams ;)

[CleanS14]

Yeah seriously... I don't want to leave my VSKF's lying around... but shit who's dumb enough to try and steal them... I'm sure they'll have something figured out. I guess I'll just have to bring the my own guard or something.

:rl:

[Var]

i wish there was some other way to register besides by mail.. sheesh. why dont i just send a telegram by horse and carriage? Looks like i might be able to make it after all. i'll be sending my payment tomorrow. hopefully it will get there on time. Also..since the registration is by mail, that leaves it open to taking too many entries. What if you get flooded by last minute reg's? I hope you guys already thought that one through. If 100 people show up....

[jy116]

haha... stupid drifters and their last minute-ness... Aw good, maybe theyll have drift the day after too if that happens!! They DO have the lot reserved for both days, BUT the 2nd day supposed to be for AutoX Practice. They make more money off this event I think, but they might also want to be loyal to their paid members :/

Anyway, Anthony240 and MA71supraturbo, u guys local? I read post b4 about stockton ppl jacking stuf but wasnt sure how serious...

Anyone kno sumone who is just going to spectate and is coo with watchin stuff? We can have a Zilvia pit row... haha... or pit lot area since its an open lot...

[ma71supraturbo]

Anyway, Anthony240 and MA71supraturbo, u guys local? I read post b4 about stockton ppl jacking stuf but wasnt sure how serious...


I autocrossed there a number of times when competing through the Sac SCCA. I never had a problem personally, but had heard enough 2nd hand stories to ensure I left nothing valuable unattended (just get a few people you know to put all your things in the same area so you all can alternate keeping an eye on them)

[Drunk Bastard]

:werd: NASA and NCDA both have electronic Registration. I just sent my payment in today also...so hopefully it will get there in time too.

I also think we should have a DRIFTERS ONLY section, to protect our valuables.

btw, VAR, i'll see what i can find on thursday as far as 205-50-15's. Ill hit ya up on AIM or PM's. how many pairs do you want?

[DRO916]

how much is it for people to watch

[TRUENOCOUPE]

I never see or hear anything about people jacking shit in South Cal. It happen in DD6 which was San Francisco and NCDA. WTF is up with you idiots stealing from each other?

I can leave all my shit outside when I head out to SCAL and no one even bothers to touch shit. Here in Norcal, fucking idiots peeping my shit see what they can fucking steal.

I hope nothing goes on like that on this event. I already have events going for April, May and June here in Norcal. Now that I think about it, I might hire a stupid security.

It's not norcal as much as this particular venue. It isn't a huge issue, just something to be aware of. If I thought my 8 spares and tools were going to get jacked, I wouldn't go. But I just take extra precautions when I go to the stockton fairgrounds -- thats all

[ma71supraturbo]

[ja89s13]

I know what you guys mean in regards to the snail mail registration deal. I talked to them and this will change in time. Remember, this is the first time for SCCA and we are lucky to have one here.

Since I've been racing in Stockton, I never had any problems in regards to thief. SCCA will not be responsible for any missing items so I suggest watching your stuff carefully.

See you all there!

[Teh Luckinator]

Being from Stockton, and currently living here, I can say that it's a fucking piece. But that's the city, I'm sure things would be different at an event. The fairgrounds are still kind of by the "ghetto," but you shouldn't be TOO worried.

As for me, good game timing chain. I'll still be out there, though.

[Var]

i sent my payment today. i hope it will meet the deadline

[thx247]

I suck, still no payment sent. Might have to steal Al's ride. Too godamn busy with the move.

[007jpang]

i sent my payment today. i hope it will meet the deadline

me too, but i think that my registration would get there faster... since your is by a horse and carriage.

john

[kingsol]

has the max number been reached already? i'm sending my payment later today...

[Drunk Bastard]

not yet. 53/66 so far have signed up.

ANDREW, VAR, LUKE, SIGN UP ASAP!!!!!

[Andrew Bohan]

[Andrew Bohan]

[balmo]

[DRO916]

ughhhhhhhhh i made it in, barely...#63

[Var]

are there any updates about what is going to happen with the over-entry situation?

[ghostuss]

I sent out my payment like wednesday. WTF my name is not on the list? That's not good. Who do I call if I sent the payment and my name is not on the list???

[DRO916]

damn theres like 75 entrees now....wonder what theyre gonna cap it at

[ma71supraturbo]

latest rumor I heard was they were trying to bump the cap to 80. Not sure how this will affect seat time, I was kind of hoping to see only the bare minimum come ;)

[Var]

if any more ppl are let in i'm gonna ask for my money back or sell my spot if anyone's interested

[Toahk]

WTF 75ppl? I want a refund, they said max 66.

[ja89s13]

We capped the maximum entries to 75! Whoa, thats a lot more people than we expected. Great job Nor-Cal peeps!!! We are working continuously to make this event fun and lots of track time. Confirmation letters for those participants who made it on the list will be mail tomorrow (3/14). For those who mail their registration and didnt make the cut, you're checks will be mail back to you. Sorry for any inconvenience, I will work with them next time on setting up an electronic registration and payment (like "myautoevents") so we can avoid this issue. See you all at the event.

For those who are not optimistic about this event. Please contact Ray Miller for questions and refunds at [email protected] or at (916)726-5833. Please do so immediately so we can accomodate other interested people.

[007jpang]

hey If you guys have a family radio bring it.

We'll be on Channel 9... it would make the trip there more interesting

[Var]

i can live with 75. i'm still in

[kingsol]

i hope i get that confirmation letter...

[stillmatic]

WTF 75ppl? I want a refund, they said max 66.

:bs: Yeah, that's not coo.

i sent my check out on tuesday the 8th....and im not on the list....wow....this really sucks.... this whole mail registration was retarded.... how did they expect to handle the last minute flood of procrastinators checks.


anyone wanna sell me they're spot....

[anthony240]

looks like it's gonna rain on event day, I was switching channels and came up on the weather channel predicting rain for cali friday, saturday and sunday

[Drift101]

oh wow, hmm.. maybe i won't request a refund. Was going to cancel since I didn't get my LSD installed in time and got finals this week. But if it rains.. then maybe i'll make due with the we ground.
but damn..... 75 peeps eh? hmmm.... lets hope it doesnt increase the wait too much.

[Andrew Bohan]

hey can we see our position on the waiting list? i think a lot of people would like to know how close they are to getting in if people are bailing out. it'd be nice to know if i'm going or not.

[CleanS14]

rain!!!... i hope my lipstick cam comes in!!!

[Heartwork]

goddamnit, i sent my check in last week too and i guess i didnt make the cut :(
i went out and bought tires and everything to get setup for, took work off, etc...

serious, the lack of electronic registration is pretty weak. But then again it was partly my fault that i sent out my check within a few days of deadline, but i think a few days is about acceptable if its postmarked before the deadline as stated on the website

*****If Anyone wants to sell me their spot, please PM/Email me. I have cash in hand*****

haha for sure

[007jpang]

anyone have any 15 or 17 inch tires you want to trade me... cause i got 2 brand new kuhmo esta 225/50R15 for sale/ trade

they r also for sale for $100

[ghostuss]

WOOT I MADE iT!! SWEET! Now I got get my clutch replace and get some tires ready hehe. Narc wanna carovan there in the morning??

[007jpang]

ok im thinking of selling my spot cause i bought the wrong tires for my rims and im limited with funds... but here's the deal.

if you want to buy my spot you will also have to buy my tires (2 brand new Kumho ECSTA 225/50R15) it would be a total of $175.

so it's a package deal...

if no one buys this package deal
then i would just drift at the event and sell the tires some other time.

Pm Me you # if interested

woooots, i just got a call from Candice Miller (i think that was her name) I'm in and as of 3-14-05 there is a cap of 81 drivers =O

[Andrew Bohan]

this is crazy. why not just leave it at 66 drivers. if i didn't make it, fine. i'll move on. but now i have to wonder if i'm in or not. i don't like not knowing, especially since i have to take time off work to do this.

make a decision and stick with it.

it's not crazy it's wanting more DINERO AMIGO

[Andrew Bohan]

don't they know that being greedy makes people not like them?

[Var]

i dont think it's a matter of being greedy. technically they are sticking to their word. if you read the original post it says *estimated* cutoff is 66 drivers. also it says the deadline will be determined by postmark date. if they had recieved 66 drivers by 3 weeks ago i'm sure they would have closed it down.

[evo86]

Okay, here it is:

As you can see we received 75 entry's for the subject event and
probably will get a few more on Monday postmarked by March 12.

With sixty six cars the grid structure would be eleven cars in each
line with three lines running on parallel courses and the other three lines working.

With seventy five cars, the grid structure would increase by 1.5 cars
per line. If we get "a few" more on Monday I don't expect the, per
line,car count to exceed 13 cars per line.

The increase from the advertised entry cap should have a minimal impact on seat time and the Sac Chap Board of Directors has decided to try and accommodate the overage.

With the above consideration we feel obligated to, at least, review
applications with a post-mark of March 12.

I've requested to extend the track time to 5:00 pm to cover the lost time due to the added driver. They don't have a problem running the event until five if anybody's left with tires and gas, but we're not going to hold it open that late for a few diehards. Keep in mind that the next day will be SCCA practice, so we would like to go home and get some rest for the next day. I know none of you care about the SCCA practice

Hey pang, I can get you some 15" (195-205/50-55-60-65) tires for cheap. Hit me up anytime after 4.

thanks for watching out bro...

i'll give you a call sometimes this week.

[Agent_S13]

That's nice to hear about the 5 pm extension.

I'd also like to point out something else -- its 75 (or 81, whatever the cap is) drivers. Not necessarily the number of cars, due to the fact that there are a few people co-driving so there will probably be around 75 or even 70 cars out there with the other drivers riding along. That shouldn't be so bad, right?

As for people complaining, I agree... we were given a number (66) and those of us who registered early hoped that it would be capped at that. Sure the extra fee's acquired can help offset the costs but if people complain about the lack of driving time, then who's really to blame? What's the good of getting a few more drivers if no one signs up for future events because previous participants complained about only getting an hours worth of seat time?

There's a reason why Club4ag Drift Days and especially Al's private events are praised --- for their ability to balance track time and participants. People feel like they're getting their money's worth with all the track time. Its a limited driver arrangement but people don't complain. They get their spots filled, have a good time, comply with the track staff for a smooth/fun event, and get invited back for future events. Its not about quantity, but quality here. If people don't get in to an event, I doubt they'll complain too long... especially if you set up another event in a month or two. Might teach them to send in their money earlier (even without online registration).

Just playing devil's advocate today...

Theres a few of us that registered that is not even driving but helping the event go through. (Like Me.)

So don't worry, Im sure you guys will get some track time.

[Agent_S13]

Thanks for the info Al.

I'm also checking the Club4ag post since there's some interesting information regarding 2-drivers, 1-car scenario and work groups.

Link to post: 3/19 SCCA Event (http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=95526)

Lots of good information/questions there.

Hopefully this will all be resolved before Saturday.

Can't wait to get out there!

about the weather i saw on kwon4 that there will be a chance of rain on sat. but the forecaster told that this should not alter whatever plans you have. that cool. at least its not like the soak dreanching rain we had last usdrift/ sonoma event.

[Drunk Bastard]

[Andrew Bohan]

any word on the waitlist people and who's in and who's not?
i need to tell my boss by tonight
thanks

[Drift101]

hmm... the boss isnt too happy about me taking sat off.... may have to sell my spot... I'll keep you alll who are on the waitlist posted.

[kingsol]

PM me if you guys sell your spot, i haven't gotten any confirmation.

[Heartwork]

i guess for the people who made it got confirmation letters today (3-16-05)

i got mine today and im the #81 driver! the last one on the list...

so im safely assuming that the cap is at #81

the entrace will be on airport way. so as you make your way through charter, you'll go under a bridge and right after that is a traffic light, this is airport way, MAKE A RIGHT here (or left coming from 99). once you make a right (or left) you'll see the area on your left side, turn left into the driveway, you'll have a clear view of it, can't miss it.
see you all there!

great event!!! And props to scca for putting on a great show...keep em comin

[Var]

The guys running this event were trying, but they didnt give it too much thought. They are used to running auto-x . There was way too much dead time on the track between stupid parade laps and grid loading and unloading and the first 3 courses were poo . I think after the lunch break the day really picked up and i started enjoying myself. I was really close to just loading my car on the trailer and taking off around 11 am. Of course kudos to scca for trying to bring drifting into norcal, BUT i dont want to see drifting turn into auto-x, ie: people just settle for minimal track time because they think that's the only way. It's not..demand better events with less people.

[Kmillionstylez]

This is irelevant ishh but John, You bastard! I tought you are gonna sleep huh you beeeeyotche! I see your as is online lookin for porn, das why yo ass was in a hurry so you could go home and....

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Let me just say Good Job to Jeff and Bau promoting the event. I thank you guys for this. I know that it was off you guys hand doing the registration and running the events.

This event was the worse drift event I have ever been to. Having 81 people on the grid was just insane.
I had about 16 runs thru out the day. Having to wait for two hours just to get another 4 laps was just a mess. Even when taking your 4 laps it would take 30 minutes waiting on the grid.

I expected this since its from SCCA. The best way they know how to set up an event is Auto X style.

Will I come back for another event like this? NO.

everything Al said and then some.... major props to Jeff and Bau, but whoever designed the course does not have a clue.....wtf was the first entry of the last setup all about, not able to gain enough speed throughout the rest of the course....

oh well, kudos to SCCA trying....the only thing i enjoyed about this was the neighboring residents of Stockton

[ma71supraturbo]

Thanks for all your work getting this event off the ground -- I had a blast. I do agree with Al on many of his points -- like why bother picking up 1 cone (in the process holding up the line) instead of waiting for 2 or 3 cars to go through? Why not walk the course like an autocross and not screw around with parade laps? Why not move the grid back 20 feet and have people assigned to the same lane all day long?

Even with all that, I'm still impressed with the number of runs we had considering the 81 entrants. Ideally, I'd like to see more seat time on a practice day (you all know I need it;) ), but you did well with what you had to work with. I also liked not having to work the course, though those poor SCCA guys were working hard running down cones

[TRUENOCOUPE]

The grid loading... I mean come on now. Why can't you block off lane 2/3/4/5 while 1 is running. Instead of having to unload and load the grid. Just have all lanes at the same spot. DON'T WASTE 2 HOURS UNLOADING AND LOADING THE STUPID GRID.

That was just the stupidest idea evar. I learn a lot from this event, DO NOT RUN 81 PEOPLE. DO NOT RUN 5 LANES.

Al, you better get your ass out to the next event. People look up to you and shit... and they can learn from you. If all the experienced drivers don't go then expect more lameness from nor-cal.

yes those guys have been autox'ing for 30+ years. drifting is new to them. drifting to them is coming in too hot in a turn and getting your tail out a bit.

Maybe if we show them some option videos, some drift tengoku's or battle magazines etc, they can setup real drift configuration. for their first event it seemed to be pretty good though.

As you know in autox'ing you have to go work. I didn't see anyone working. 4 people working the track at once. what do you expect from a parking lot course. They have a lot of newbies there and SCCA has the experience to know that if you rush things, people can get hurt.

i got some pictures too. http://www.sromagazine.com/events/thumbnails.php?album=285&page=1

I posted in a different thread but didn't see this one until now.

[ghostuss]

everything like the other ppl said above. I was asking if I can manji in some of the lanes, they said ya as long as you keep it between the cones. Then I look at narrow ass lanes. I am like, "oh forget it."

Should have had 3 courses and a schedule and let the ppl handle the rest by themselves. Like Drift day events. If they don't make it to the lines, too bad. Instead they gonna hve to yell in the speaker for driver not in his car. Also you can't do any car work in the lines. Well you don't really need to change tires with taht little seat time but still... I saw ppl with smoking engine trying to fix it in the lines. Ask ppl how DD did their events and run it DD style. I believe they are trying hard thou. Very nice guys. It's their first time hosting the event. Yep the last course was stupid as fuck. It's a fuckign sweeper with like 10yards to gain speed... It's possible to carry a drift with a powerful car but come on most of the car there don't have over 150 whp...

Edit: anyone got pics or video footage of the white s14 zenki with the black vented CF hood and black front bumper with a fucked up front lip? Send them to my e-mail plz [email protected] thanks a bunch.

[S13 RKT]

I thought over all there was to much down time for the event, but it was their first time with this and they really had no idea. They didn't even know to bring in more bathrooms and a big catoring truck for god sake!!! But dispite all that i thought there was a great turn out which will show them that there could be a good turn out everytime they hold one there. This was a trial for them and i think they are willing to learn and make things better for us. That place is so big that we could have just done two big courses and no little dought area! Anyway, great job to Jeff for getting them to try it out and lets cross our fingers that they want to keep it up.
Mike
aka S13RKT

[Heartwork]

yes the donut course was the lamest thing i have seen...

hopefully we can have more experienced people design the course, possible a person we can all email and give suggestions....

There was an actual bathroom, just no TRASHCANS!

also i think security should be more strict on letting people in.....during the course of the day random people from the area just came through, checking what was going on, and LINING UP ON THE GRID! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF....I'm mainly talking about the Green Acura TL

there were quite a few people who werent registered entered the event. People were jumping in and out of the grid. Random people not in the event were doing donuts and shit in the "pit" area! And some lame kid with a red s13 fastback and kouki tails was doing donuts in the small lot over.... Good going jerk, great way to give the rest of us a bad reputation, as SCCA keeps all of our INFO on file.....

The last course was nice in reverse.

[jy116]

yeh, grid was pretty unorganized... I started in 1b, ran 4 times... went to help my neighbor with his mustang, came back and thot they already regrided my lane, so i followed them on a parade lap and ended up in 2b when they told me i was supposed to be 2 lanes over...

i count about 12min of driving... $75/12 = $6.25/min!?!

thats almost as bad at Autox! [$30/3min, in SF Region at least].

Personally, im hoping for more seat time, or occassional track/drift days like Grip n Slip at Thunderhill [cuz going a lot would be too expensive]. That was plenty of seat time ;]

i had fun with the event. i was happy for my friend mark who was a beginner. we were co-driving my brown gts. that skipad was really good for him, too bad they took that out on the later part. im with westbouroughp and truenocoupe~ it was a long wait for 1 driver cars. well, i didnt felt like it cuz we had 2 driver car. jeff told me that 'they' just didnt listen to his ideas to make the event run more smoothly.

[balmo]

oh yeah, ill post pics later after all my classes are done.

[MikeDeuce]

My favorite was the rotund SCCA gentleman who was flagging the start towards the later half of the day who made the following two comments:

"We should set this up like an autox and start timing these guys, I bet we could kick most of their asses in 30 seconds"

And my codriver told me about this one: "No wonder we need to keep these guys off the street"

Way to get it :rolleyes:

But I can't thank Jeff and Bau enough for actually getting those guys to do something for Norcal drifting. Next time they just need to let them run the thing.

That place is so big that we could have just done two big courses and no little dought area!

So big? That's the smallest venue I have ever run...Drift Days at california speedway have at least 5x that much room and they only run 50-60 cars.

Definately wasn't a huge fan of the overcrowding, small course set-up, and waiting times.

NORCAL GUYS: DONT SETTLE FOR THE QUALITY OF THIS EVENT. This event could have been so much better and you guys need to let SCCA know this. Dont complain to them though, give them suggestions. Eventually they will listen.

Thanks to all the peeps that participated, sorry it didn't turned out the way we wanted to. Since, I was amongst one of the drivers that was also waiting forever for a run. I felt both positive and negative sides of the event that everyone experienced. I actually enjoyed the autox more the next day after the drifting event.

Many thanks to Bau, Jack, Ian, Al, Ching and some others who helped teched cars and set up the last course. Look out for future drift events from AL and many others. NOR-CAL will be on the role this year!!!
