If by "dl" you mean "posted on Altamont's web site and basically is common knowledge," then, yes, you are correct.

PimpFlex, how many tires did you go through in one day? What is the track surface like?

if its common knowledge then how come you didn't know drifting was allowed on fridays until a few of us went?

to santacruisin.. track is super smooth. 2 pairs if more than enough.

AutoRnD · 07-03-2006, 11:30 AM

the track is too slick.
and after everyone goes offroading its hard to get any traction.

gbond15 · 07-03-2006, 02:54 PM

the new surface is alot better than the old but it is deffinetly slippier in certain areas, some areas seem to be really grippy. Tire wear is alot better for me than last year. Try not to go off track cause the dirt is really deep and it will cause a huge mess if you fling it on the track. i didn't bring my car this last friday but came to watch a to see how you guys were doing.

so who here is going to drift battle this upcomming thursday?

It seemed that the left side of the oval (if coming in on the straight passing the start finish line seemed to be less grippy. Temperature seemed to effect the track more than I'm used to. As the night went on I seemed to have less and less grip. I would come hot into the oval in 3rd and just spin right around in the dirt. It had to happen 3 times for me to adjust my style. Oh well. I hate driving that car now.

cause when I called them when they first posted the open track sessions on their site, I was told by the genius that answered the phone that drifting was not allowed.

of course that ended up being total BS, but hey, whatever's clever.

My main point was that the open track sessions aren't exactly a secret.

See you guys there tomorrow!
ps - ben. i'll beat your ass at Third Strike. lol
