I did a lot of grip and drifted for a good 2-3 hours on a pair of tires. I only went through 4 all day and I was grip/drift all day. Depends on how you drive and what kind of tires.

DriftSpecS14 · 02-02-2007, 10:55 AM

Walls? Your not allowed to drive this weekend! I was looking at google maps and its like top of 2nd, I wouldnt worry about it

Okay I will be there for sure, just need to figure out where I am going to get some tires

DriftSpecS14 · 02-02-2007, 11:24 AM

and its like an 11 degree bank too! OMFG! intense

94cc0rd · 02-02-2007, 12:24 PM

What walls, are you guys runing on the oval out there??? If so, yea the banking there is a lil trickey in turn 3 & 4. But for the most part its all 2nd gear clutch kick,then feather it around. You can shift up to 3rd on the straight but gonna have to go back to 2nd. Or you can try and long sl!de it!!!!!!,be aware of the banking Watch your H2O temps !!!!

..

94Accord - if you have spares then bring em,if not then make sure your tires are fairly chunky,& monitor them through out the day!!!

KA24DESOneThree · 02-02-2007, 11:37 PM

I ALWAYS bring spares to the track. One never knows when an errant rock will find its way through the carcass...

If you have a VLSD or open diff, you can get away with bringing only one spare. If you have a clutch-type, you need two spares with the same OD to prevent undue wear on the diff should you lose a rear.

Don't worry about a floorjack, stands, or blocks to roll up on... I always bring mine and am more than happy to lend them to whomever needs them.

SRT Motorsports · 02-06-2007, 02:01 AM

Bump for this event

cfrost · 02-06-2007, 11:22 AM

holler

my blacktop should be in by then

redsuns3838 · 02-06-2007, 03:16 PM

hows HTM as a beginning drift track? Or is it better to just do grip if youve never drifted for this track?

Its not to dangerous as long as you know your limits and dont think you are d1 style touge master

I wouldnt drive there as a beginner drifter its very intimidating, grip is super fun up there though. If you are more like intermediate drifter you will be fine.

redsuns3838 · 02-06-2007, 11:49 PM

boo =( i guess im gripping this time. Itll probably be better for me anyways.

UNITEDMASTER · 02-07-2007, 02:15 AM

Hello,ya see this is is why the SRT Trackday rules. You can go out in the morn Beginner grip groups keep the speed down & learn the place,then turn around & give it a go with the DORI-DORI. If your gonna drift just take it one section of track at a time .PEACE

redsuns3838 · 02-07-2007, 03:22 AM

oh so you can switch off? maybe towards the end of the day I could try running with the drift group and just do some less risky turns... but we will have to see since I wont know if i have the balls to drift when Im actually on the track =P

Ill have fun gripping anyways. Oh yes is there a limit to number of drivers in the event?

SRT Motorsports · 02-08-2007, 12:52 AM

Your fee allows you to drive in either group

No need to go balls out first run

hitman · 02-08-2007, 06:03 PM

can you guys run it the same way as last time for drift the just drift way?

*Vatche* · 02-08-2007, 08:06 PM

god i hope im able to make it! i realllly want to go.

We did last time, I think everyone liked it so I dont see why they would go back. Probably decide at the drivers meet like last time.

gotta240 · 02-09-2007, 03:29 AM

How is this run?

1. Are grip drivers driving WITH others around(i hope so), making it more competitive and less of a timed event? (like the SOW course last time)

2. Does it just rotate every other hour from grip to drift? Can you be on the track for EVERY rotation or do you get X amount of time and can use it how you want?

Normally there are 3 groups, begginer grip, advanced grip, and drift. 15 minute run groups rotate every 15 minutes. Your in one of the run groups depending on skill level and if you are grip or drift.

gotta240 · 02-09-2007, 09:03 AM

So can i run in the beginner grip and drift group all day for the same price?

DriftSpecS14 · 02-09-2007, 09:42 AM

yeah u pay once and can run both grip and drift... werd to SRT track days!!! one of the best events out there!!!!
