NCDA is putting on another event at Altamont on Apr. 7th from 4pm-10pm. It's a sweet 16 tandem competiton (door bars recommended -- not required), and the price will be $50 or less. I'll post up more info as I come across it.

sweet, been nwaiting for another altamont event!

Drunk Bastard · 03-01-2005, 05:04 AM

oh baby! im there!

kilword1 · 03-01-2005, 09:31 AM

what?!?! YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Drift101 · 03-01-2005, 10:07 PM

WHOA!
Just checked out the NCDA website. They post that its may be every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the months from April to October!!! If so, I'll be there as often as I can! saving up some money every other week for a great time is pretty reasonable! Any projections on the pricing?

kazuo · 03-02-2005, 01:30 AM

More better information.

---

NCDA will be hosting evening drift events at Altamont Raceway and Arena in Tracy, CA.

Every 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month from April thru October, consisting of:

April 7th and 21st
May 5th and 19th
June 2nd and 16th
July 7th and 21st
August 4th and 18th
September 1st and 15th
October 6th and 20th

Thursday evening schedule:

3:00–4:00 PM
Gates open/Tech open/Registration

4:00–7:00 PM
Track opens, cars run autocross style (1 at a time) on main course, with skidpad open in “outer oval paddock area” OPEN PRACTICE SESSION

7:00–10:00 PM
Competition Begins, open to all participants, single run eliminations to sweet 16, to best 8, to semifinal 4 to final 2, winner

10:00–11:00 PM
Clean up and exit the facilities.

Schedule is subject to change. Pricing and final information will be provided soon.

---

FYI, pricing will be $50 per night (per Don's post on NCDA forums), with a discount for people who purchase a "membership." Further details will be announced soon.

I think its time to start supporting events in NorCal.. cus if this doesn't work, I don't think anything else will. We have to come together as a community and get this going if we want a place where we can do and drive without the hassles associated with mountain runs/etc.

And this really should be moved to the appropriate regional forum... ;p

dct223 · 03-02-2005, 01:44 AM

I totally agree with art, we gotta show some norcal support, i KNOW everyone can dish out 50 bucks for a drift practice..

anywas i for sure will go to some of these events... i need some spare wheels =/

d r i f t swift · 03-02-2005, 03:32 AM

wow.. cant wait.

*DJPimpFlex* · 03-02-2005, 01:28 PM

Drift101 · 03-02-2005, 01:45 PM

went to altamont before.... i LOVED the sweeping left hand turn!!! super badassness, wonder if they fixed the inner area though, when I was there, cars were tearing the pavement up. I cringed quite a bit hearing sounds of pavement making contact with wheels accompanied by flying chunks of the road.... can anyone tell me if they fixed it?

The main course has been paved, the rest of it... no.

So yeah, that area where the mini-course/skidpad was set up the last couple events.. is still borked. And will be for the forseeable future.

HOWEVER, the main course isn't part of that area, and you won't be driving on it.

The skidpad will most likely be set up there, but it will be in the least fucked-up area. :P

Per Don there will most likely not be enough room for a minicourse, just the main course and a skidpad, but that is subject to change, of course.

jy116 · 03-07-2005, 03:38 PM

wow, nice nice... i like the price :] Ill def try to make it to at least one! I got no class friday :]

No, because entries are limited (obviously).

Besides, you're stuck in SC.

Var · 03-19-2005, 09:29 PM

are they limited? what's the limit?

I confirmed with Uncle Don today. He will not take more than 40 drivers for the first event.

IF he gets 40 drivers for the first event, and things do not go smoothly, the amount of drivers will be further reduced.

There is no minnimum. The events will run there are 4 people or 40 people.

Andrew Bohan · 03-20-2005, 03:13 AM

damn, 4 people. that'd be the shit.

z_boi · 03-20-2005, 04:01 AM

mooboy · 04-07-2005, 01:00 PM

I'm sorry to announce that Night Drift today April 7th has been cancelled due to rain. Altamont has a strict no rain policy and mud has flooded onto the track.
