Friday Open Practice sessions at Altamont - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*CleanS14* · 06-29-2006, 09:35 AM

Guys, just an FYI... Altamont will not hold Open Practice sessions unless there are at least 7 drivers confirmed for that day. Tomorrow included. So if you plan to go please email me or post here so we can notify the Altamont staff... you can also call them yourself, but this is just a heads up so you don't waste gas heading out there.

Have fun to those that head out if the 7 show up!!! I know of 2 going already this week... so just 5 more and you're good!

Scooter · 06-29-2006, 09:54 PM

It's $150 to drive right? or are they going to hold a free session again?? what ever the case i'll be intrested in going!

*CleanS14* · 06-29-2006, 11:30 PM

Yes, it's $150 to drive and they are going to open the track on Friday guys... just an FYI. This is not a free event.

Scooter · 06-30-2006, 01:28 AM

What time do they plan to open the track? I'm guessing that it's the same time that they have on their web site. 2pm-8pm? Thanks

*CleanS14* · 06-30-2006, 08:25 AM

Yes 2pm-8pm is when the track will be open.

Irukandji · 06-30-2006, 09:06 AM

Ugh Jay... you just HAD to post this. This was supposed to be on the DL.

Ritz S14 · 06-30-2006, 09:19 AM

Don't worry Ben, not everyone has $150 laying around.

Shiieeeet. There's drift day, which is sold out instantly and has huge wait lines. Then there's Just Drift which is often times not for amateurs. I dunno. From what I read on you guys up north Altamont was pretty regular (until that BS with street drifting.)

I dunno I'm just a noob. Have fun buddies to the north!

*DJPimpFlex* · 07-01-2006, 12:46 AM

yea it was awsome. I had the track to myself for like 2 hours straight. My car didnt like it much.....Made it home though.

quach · 07-01-2006, 02:06 AM

DJpimpflex you went this friday? were you sharing it with the nascar guys?

*DJPimpFlex* · 07-01-2006, 02:20 AM

there were like 7 or 8 drifters and only 2 oval cars. It was cool. you wont need any more track time. Me and Jon Wayne both are drifted out after today.....

quach · 07-01-2006, 02:51 AM

oh that's good to hear, last time i went we were sharing the track with ALOT more than 2 oval drivers. did you manage to go through any pairs of tires?

balmo · 07-01-2006, 07:41 AM

thats good to hear your guys got great track time. so when they say at least 7 cars needed to get a test day, that includes nascar and any type of cars? how did you guys share the track?

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-01-2006, 11:18 AM

I was there. Haha, I don't think I'll make it to Drift Battle, my clutch started hating me after a while.

Where's the MOPHOS pics?!?!

MikeDeuce · 07-01-2006, 02:45 PM

MOPHOS couldn't make it due to short notice, but will be in attendance at DB

SilentSamurai8 · 07-01-2006, 03:23 PM

Shit...I want/need to go so bad but I have so much stuff to take care of. How do you always make it to these things. Ether not talked about, or when it is, it's anounced too late...Work and things get in the way. I know the one time I do make it out there will be tons of people. I just need 1 or 2 events with ALOT of seat time. Just to catch back up to were I was.

It has been a wile.

I work next Friday so that is out. I guess I can start getting Fridays off. But that may take another month to go into effect. New job and all too.

Glad you guys had fun though and the Altimount seen is alive.

Sarah couldn't get the day off work, but I'll be out there with another member of the MOPHOS squad and we'll be trying to take pics when we're not driving. See you then!
