Sweet, I'm from Omaha, and there is nothing like this around. I'd love to come down, meet some guys, and try out my slidin! Do you have to pre-register?

[SexPanda]

damn i used to live at whiteman... AFB... Near sedalia...


I doubt many people know where it is, so 45 minutes away. I wish i still did. I'd be there.

[Fries]

Heartland Park Topeka will be setting up an area to prepay for the event; Midwest prepare for the most fun you can possibly have in 5 hours!

[Ineedparts]

I am there forusre with or without power steering, but hopefully with. Do I need to pre register?

[Dousan_PG]

sweet! i gotta let my buddy know!
so cool KS drift events
stay out of the corn fields!

[Fries]

Derek and I meet with HPT soon, we'll be setting up a part on the site for payment and pre-regstration. Right now, it's looking like Pre-reg will be mandatory, after all, limited number of spots.

Dousan, save some cash come chill in Kansas. I'll buy you a 6 pack and you'll have all the backwater womanz you want! (except for mine :D )

[brn2slid]

[SilviaSativa]

wish i lived closer to kansas. sounds like a great event.

[ericcastro]

Good for you guys !! Sounds like fun. Too bad im WAAYYY to far away.

Bump for people trying to keep it legal!

[projectdrifter]

thats a huge skidpad...

[Matej]

It is!
People please show up, if the turnout for the skid pad days is good, they'll let us drift on the track in the future!

Awesome!! That would be great, that's only about 2 hours from me, by far the closest drift event to me, I'm down for sure!

theres a track there too. lucky bastards. good luck with the event.

[Fries]

Yup 3.1mile road course, 25 acre skid pad and ofcourse drag strip <---lol.

Tandem will be in the very near future. Depending on turn out for events, the road course will be taking some slides starting next year.

Just to get you guys excited for how big (and flat/smooth) this skid pad is, we put a normal metal barrel(50gallon???) on one side, drove to the other and because of the angle of the ground for water run off you could not even see the barrel.

It's HUGE!

3 courses, plenty of run off so none of the course will interfere with each other. Basically, bring your game face, it's time to improve your drifting and have fun roasting them tirezz

[Wabash9000]

I might have a dslr by then. I assume spectators are free. I would run the road course but not the drift. I don't have that level of disposable income for tires. (it also doesn't help that my 240 is all stock with an open diff)

[S13project]

quality of skidpad tarmac? does it eat tires?

[Matej]

It's smooooth, smoother than a Morgan Freeman prologue, it was just built recently.

Diamond cut surface. It's very very nice! Hey bring your stock 240sx we don't care, you don't have to have a built car. Slide every turn you can man!

[S13project]

wow. just wow. awesome surface. looks like it simply glides.

[berz]

[Wabash9000]

[brn2slid]

Damn if only I had a drift car I would definitely show up.

If i can do a 5 speed swap and get some mods before 7.16 on my S14 I sure will be down to get sideways.

[Fries]

5speed//welded diff. Cheap Easy. SLIDE! :D

[down_shift]

congrats on the new venue. why such a late start time?

[brn2slid]

so what will happen if more than 40 drivers show up? to some, this is a little bit of a drive to get turned down... anyway to get on a VIP list ha!:keke:

[Fries]

You don't pay the day of the event, you pre-register on HPT's site.

Oh by the way http://hpt.com//store/catalog/index.php?cPath=1_14_78&osCsid=c2492dc4845dc1348e45b63a71df196b

Registration is open.

[Fries]

Month and a half left to get your cars ready! Get a second job to buy parts or quit the second job so you can work on the automobile!
