SO with the delay of night drift, are there any track openings in norcal comin soon?

*slider2828* · 05-16-2006, 10:34 AM

Yah probably need to go to thunderhill and like sears now.... Freaking DONE.... SO Sad.. damn it

Ritz S14 · 05-16-2006, 10:35 AM

"Delay" sounds like an understatement. From what it seems, it's over with the Altamont, for us.

SpeedMonkeyInc · 05-16-2006, 10:48 AM

Kinda sounds that way doesn't it? Drift Day Nor Cal has not been able to host another event either.
Hopefully NCDA can find another spot. Personaly I like parking lots, everyone else complains about them but I don't know why. There where roumors of some spot being avalible in Redding. Long drive but I will do it.
Anyone know the current status with Buttonwillow and drifting? Thats a fun track and it seems that they are still allowing drift there.

*Sil-Abc* · 05-16-2006, 10:59 PM

i mean it looks like imma drive down to socal for a couple events in the future but i rather not do that cuz of gas but i need drifting in my system hahaha

EchoOfSilence · 05-16-2006, 11:06 PM

what you need more of in your system is school, Jon

*Sil-Abc* · 05-16-2006, 11:14 PM

yea yea yea dont remind me

95Blue240sx · 05-17-2006, 12:44 PM

It seams i need more of that in my system as well lol.

The farthest id be willing to drive is about 1-2 hours from SJ. Anything more and I can just wait around and save up.

Besides Redding, Chico also has the Silver Dollar Speedway.....

infinitexsound · 05-23-2006, 01:45 PM

chico and redding is too far in my book, honestly if ur gonna break.. ur assed out if u havent trailored ur car in those distances... same deal with socal...

they use to hold autox events at the petaluma fairgrounds.. but since ESCA moved to the airport. i dont think anyone has been there ever since.... maybe one of u guys should look into it...

rewplayff · 05-27-2006, 06:41 PM

sorry to resurrect this thread but i do still wonder what are the..."upcoming events in norcal" or whats closest, time wise and distance.

*DJPimpFlex* · 05-27-2006, 08:01 PM

^nothing......Norcal drifting is dead. Driving to socal and wasteing gas FTW!!!

infinitexsound · 05-27-2006, 08:37 PM

FTS aint gonna drive that far for a event...

I was gonna say that Sonny hit up Altamont on Friday.

gbond15 · 05-29-2006, 05:35 PM

Sonny and I hit up altamont on sat and sun and it was awsome. the new track surface is the ish and the new configurations make it so much more fun. Keep your eyes open for future events there.

kansei · 05-29-2006, 05:36 PM

Yeah, how'd that happen?

rewplayff · 05-29-2006, 07:56 PM

was that the open practice where you can only use the oval for $150 or something like that? i read on the altamont site about something like that on fridays.

*CleanS14* · 05-29-2006, 10:49 PM

I'll be hosting an event on Thursday, July 6th same as night drift... but limited spaces. Only problem is it's going to be $125 per driver. 5 hours of driving time on track (still working out hours of operation with the new Altamont staff). I'm not trying to make any money on this... just trying to keep drifting alive in Norcal. Pass the word around... I will post the event after we finalize all of the details.

The open practice events will happen as long as there is a Saturday open for that. Most if not all Saturdays are booked at Altamont per the new ownership. Hopefully, we can get a good turnout to the July 6th practice and show Altamont that we are good people to support.

Stay tuned for more details...

SpeedMonkeyInc · 05-29-2006, 11:21 PM

Good news! Thanks for trying to get us back on the track! I know quite a few people will be upset its not NCDA, but track time is track time.

*CleanS14* · 05-29-2006, 11:32 PM

We're all cool folks... don't know why anyone would be disappointed regardless of the group hosting... it's DRIFTING!!!

SpeedMonkeyInc · 05-29-2006, 11:45 PM

I know you guys are cool. What I am saying is all the recent stuff with NCDA and Altamont some people are saying to boycott Altamont events if they are not NCDA.
Anyway. I will be there. See ya!

*CleanS14* · 05-30-2006, 12:20 AM

Oh okay... I understand. What everyone needs to understand is that Altamont actually supports drifting/drifters and the people that participate in any motorsport. I spoke with the President/General Manager and he's a very cool guy. He did mention that it's important that the community and participants conduct themself in a mature manner because there is a close eye on everyone involved in drifting due to the recent popularity, sideshow stuff going on etc. He does want all of us to come out, but he does not want the people living around the track complaining and making it hard for his facility to operate... which is what happened when those guys were reported drifting on Midway.

Hopefully we can have a good acceptance... NCDA or not all I know is we need drifting and Altamont is awesome now... less walls... new infield and smooth pavement!!!

OMGWTFBBQ · 05-30-2006, 12:41 AM

will spectating be allowed also

rewplayff · 05-30-2006, 01:32 AM

thank you, people organizing this.

So did you get the permit issue resolved with the surrounding residents so every one can go drifting at Altamont?

monkey7 · 05-30-2006, 03:28 AM

Woot woot, it keeps me off the streets! Now I can stop thinking about it and drive!

There was a permit issue that was granted lastweek per Altamont. We only got confirmation that it would be possible to host an event there on Friday. And when I met with the Gen. Mrg, he mentioned that it was becauase of the lack of permits for the facility.

Not sure who is right/wrong... I only know what I was told. Either way there will be an event on 7/6 and 8/26... so hopefully we can get a good turn out and keep drifting in norcal alive!!!

Registration opens June 1st for the July 6th event.
