"Its going to be a LONG day and a chance a pro license. there is no set number of licenses to give out, we might give out 0, 1, or 4,932. things to expect to have to do to get a license...be close to clips -must maintain drift whole course (spin or straighten will not allow you a license) We plan on setting up the course at start of the day and giving you all day to practice it. Aiming for 10 runs a person before you qualify. We want to give everyone as best a shot as possible. Qualifying for a license will be 2 or 3 judged runs (we will know the day of) and the exact requirements or score you must get will be decided before then as well. THE ONLY RUNS THAT REALLY MATTER ARE QUALIFYING. When we enter qualifying portion of the event, it doesn't matter if you d1 style killed the course on every practice run, if you can't do it during qualifying then sorry. same goes for if the person doesn't get the course all day and throws down a good one during qualifying. If they meet requirements and its on the qualifying run, then they get a license." - Judge Jason "Box Mod" Jiovani

haha....
Do i need to be caged?
hows the road surface???? am i gonna need a bunch of tires?

ericcastro

yeah, is there any more info on the course layout???

I am contemplating, but I am single cam. good, but still, not a ton of power.

And can I sleep in my car at the track??

and were are the Nopi events gonna be held all year. I cant travel far for competition this year?

Blackparade

if you go eric...im going!!!

i need tires

surface will beat up your tires... we just had an event there saturday and i killed 6 rears and i got there around noon.. and left by 4pm. Im sure with this event there wont be as many runs as i had because of it being a comp so i would go with 6-8 depending on ur driving..

i dont think u need a cage for the qualifying iirc but i know at the bigger nopi event u will need a cage to move up faster.

Here it is Marc.

from LA,
Total Est. Time: 7 hours, 29 minutes

Total Est. Distance: 508.05 miles




About $75 dollars one way from LA, and $75 dollars back.

My biggest concern would be crashing at the track.

is the course on a track or open???

cfrost

I attended the AZ qualifier next year and the biggest danger was cones, I'd imagine they'd set up the course similar this year

no point in seeing a bunch of crumpled up drift cars

and the drive wasn't too bad we did a straight overnight there, slept 2 hours or so, did the qualifier and left afterwards to go compete at drift buffet the next day

in a ford econoline!


edit: just saw your last question there in BOLD, lol. it'll be in a parking lot

Yes this is a lot event and the surface is not super soft. With the idea that you get about 10-12 practice runs max and then your judged runs you wont have tons of time to kill tires. If there is time left over at the end of the day the course will be open for you guys to tear up.
No cage nor fire suit required...tech is the same as any regular drift event.
There is no risk for damage here unless you somehow go off the track and end up in the dirt. We will only be using cones..not stacked, and no k rails. The lot is huge and we will be setting up a high speed technical course. Usually we run 2 courses at the same time here one with a 3rd gear entry and one for intermediate drivers.
I am in the midst of working out discounted rates at a hotel close to the track for all of our out of town drivers. Worst case if you can't afford a room you can sleep outside of the track...or I can see what we can do.
We will have on site tire mounting..the track has running water, a full grill, as well as they serve tapped beer (For those of you not driving )

Here are some vids to give you an idea of the lot..this is one of the 2 courses we run..

drifterRS

that ish looks so easy!! i wish i had the money to get to this

Blackparade

castro.......you in?

ericcastro

I think so.
Gotta check my schedule.

But it shouldn't be that much to drive over and give it a shot. see where I stand. And since there is no walls, thats much more appealing since my s13 is still my daily.

i need tires

i hope the track isnt set up like it was at the last event Aubre... that track was pretty easy...

but i guess that gives us AZ guys the advantage cause we have ran it before lol

The track will be a lot more technical as it is for a qualifier. We plan on only have 1 course which will make it longer and also meaning a lot faster entry speed Come on out and represent guys! Lets have a good turn out!

- Richard

Blackparade

how fast is the entry speed?
Out here we have a 4th gear course =)
I would like to see the course layout (even just a drawing) Featureing all clipping points and judged areas..
thanks

i need tires

then you should have no problem scoring a license if we have a 3rd gear course

I talked to one of the many people putting this together and she said they are probably gonna get the judges opinion for a layout.

Do these qualifier events come up often, or just once a year? I would love to give it a shot, but I can't skip out on work that weekend.

Kouki Chick

Depends...I got a call 2 weeks ago that we needed to run a nopi qualifier before april...and here it is...so it's all up to nopi as to what happens after this. Hopefully there will be more this year..I will see what I can find out.

ericcastro

So $75 bucks for us california guys??

I am gonna do it, I just wanna sit on the fence for a day.

then i will paypal ya.

and you guys said you will have the tire mounting thing there?? how about balance?? Figure i will bring extra tires and put em on my daily rims to save trunk room.


MARK, lets do it!! Road Trip !!!!!!

We will be for sure mounting. We usually don't lug out the balancer. I am also working on getting a tire company out to bring out tires and all of their equipment so we don't have to bring ours. They brought over 200 tires to a different event and everyone seemed to like working with them so we will see...
