gbond15 · 10-03-2004, 04:34 PM

ill be there. click on the link below for more info.

jaae86 · 10-03-2004, 06:06 PM

Paul, thank god you got your car back in one piece. You have to tell me the story when I see you. Per the website, you have to be a NASA member in order to participate. Just click on the link that George provided (thanks George). You should see all the info there. Hope to see you all there!

mistaanime · 10-04-2004, 09:08 AM

looks good..juss im broke still have some time..i'll see how much i got later.

d r i f t swift · 10-04-2004, 02:20 PM

damn only thing i need is a helmet..

MikeDeuce · 10-05-2004, 05:20 PM

Just registered... I'll be there representing the bottom 16!

p.s. jeff: Jimmy has that miata now, so you might eventually see him out there soon

Or at least at SFR autox... He's still new to RWD though, but I'll drag him out to some autoxes real soon.

Sneaker Chimp · 10-05-2004, 05:20 PM

^^^^ Same here.

Sneaker Chimp · 10-05-2004, 05:21 PM

I need a helmet.

*CleanS14* · 10-05-2004, 06:04 PM

wow i wish i could go... but my knee prevents me from participating

i'll still probably be there to cheer you guys on!!!

jaae86 · 10-05-2004, 07:29 PM

Mike, thats good news! Tell him I said congrats and I tried to get a hold of him but Im not sure if I still have his correct info. Drag him out for this one so he can see how it is. Lemme know when you guys going to the next autox, I may show up.

Drunk Bastard · 10-07-2004, 08:52 PM

I would like to go, but I gotta know. The $35 NASA join-fee ....will that last me until next october ....or until January 1, 2005?

jaae86 · 10-07-2004, 10:17 PM

I signed up last month and my membership says it expires Sept 2005. So, you're good for one year.

Drunk Bastard · 10-08-2004, 02:09 AM

sweet. My windshield is cracked, can i tape it up or do i need a new one?

jy116 · 10-08-2004, 03:19 AM

WTH... $69.00... you know thats marketting psychology rite there...! Plus membership too. Guess they saw the potential for profit... wish it was still $50 like lastime :/

MikeDeuce · 10-08-2004, 01:02 PM

Don't forget the $10 at the door (per person)... so it's closer to $114 for first timers. They seem to be holding events more regularly these days at least, so the value is getting better.

Jeff: will do... I think he can make it to this event as well.

Var · 10-08-2004, 01:35 PM

How come it wasnt on the Nasa calender when i looked? I just signed up. thanks for posting the link

Heartwork · 10-08-2004, 03:04 PM

just friggin sign up for a membership. its only $35 or so for a whole year....
and thats how the organization makes some of its money, thus giving US more events to do

*CleanS14* · 10-08-2004, 03:21 PM

I'm broke... I can't afford it... can you help me pay for it Jamaican Jerry?!?!?!

The website says if you create a new account, it will automatically charge you 35 dollars extra. I was ok with that. So i went ahead with the registration process but it only charged me 69 bucks. ? I got the reciept through email so i'm in as far as i'm concerned.

Also on a sidenote last time i went , i just payed 50 bucks. They didnt ask for a Nasa membership. I payed 10 bucks to get through the gates, then 50 bucks to the guy running the event, then they let me run. Maybe it's a default setting of the website to let you know about the 35 dollar fee, but they may not require it for drift practice. Technically i think US drift is running the event. Nasa just sub-leases turn 7 to US Drift, so you dont have to pay Nasa. THis is my understanding of it. ANy more info would be nice

cliffs notes: Nasa rents out track. Sub-rents turn 7 to US drift. Nasa is not running the event, so you dont have to be a Nasa member to run. (I think)

I did the same thing, i just signed up online for hyperfest without getting a membership and they didn't ask for it. Im pretty sure you'll get away without having one.

ghostuss · 10-09-2004, 02:18 AM

me third that. I just want to know like how many runs I will get. Last time it was 65 bucks for 6 runs

And the beginner don't get trained for shit, or not even a beginner course to start out with. It's just the course and you go ahead and drive/drift through it, wtf.. how is starter going to improve? I am eager to learn but damn give starter a chance. All i want is an open area with some cones to learn, something basic. Damn I start wanting to move to South Cali now.

balmo · 10-09-2004, 10:51 AM

never been to us drift before, ridealongs ok?

Var · 10-09-2004, 01:11 PM

yeah thery are ok..i heard this event isnt on turn 7, but only the turn 7 paddock. is this true? Also what's the maximum number of drivers?

MikeDeuce · 10-09-2004, 06:50 PM

It says turn 7 paddock on the URL posted above... Turn 7 on the track was supposedly just a special event because it was part of hyperfest.

It would be nice if every event at sonoma was sort of like the day after the last hyperfest one (on sunday), with on track drifting. They had the small skidpad area and everything. Would have been a great event for even the first-timers.

anthony240 · 10-09-2004, 07:17 PM

dang i wish i could make it, but got a bad rear cv joint, don't wanna make it worse, so i'm going autocrossing

same day. i guess the next one is on 11/14, i'll definitely make it for that one.

Var · 10-09-2004, 07:29 PM

damn that sux. i wish i had read more carefully. o well. i'll make the best of it

mooboy · 10-09-2004, 10:31 PM

I'll probably be there.

balmo · 10-10-2004, 08:54 AM
