beyond.ca and Race City Drift Nights!

[rage2]

http://forums.beyond.ca/i/racecitylogo.jpg

That's right folks, beyond.ca and Race City are hosting a 4 night drift session! So you think you're the next drift king? Come out and see what it's like to drift your car in a safe and controlled environment.

We got 4 evenings in September in the oval for drift practice, school, and events. Each night will be priced at $40/night, with a max of 20 cars a night to ensure everyone gets tons of track time. Dates will be Sept 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th. 5pm until 9pm. It'll be a first come first serve basis, and if you register for day 1 and 2, you'll have dibs for the spots on day 3 and 4.

Since none of us are really qualified to teach, we'll be setting up stations so you can try it and get a feel for the basics. Some of us have some drifting experience, and we can help you out with suggestions and techniques. There will be 4-6 of us "instructors" out there at each night.

Day 1 - Drift basics. 2 stations. First station is a slalom to get basic feel for weight transfer on the back straight. Start with cones close together (1st gear) then end with cones farther apart (2nd gear). Second station will start off with a single circle to get used to holding a drift, then end the night with 2 circles to practice transitioning from one drift to another. Maybe have a 3rd station for practicing rotating around a single pylon.

Day 2 - Drift advanced. 2 stations. Slalom again for station 1, with final exit into midfield. Again, varying distances between cones to get increasing radius entry and decreasing radius entry. Second station will have 2 circles, one large, one small. Transition into increasing radius drift, as well as decreasing radius drift.

Day 3 - Drift Course simple. Something like what we had at SCC.

Day 4 - Complex drift course.

Requirements. RWD or AWD car, LSD recommended but not requred. We'll have some stations setup that work well for cars without LSD. Spare tires are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED in case you get a flat.

You must pre-pay for these events. If you're interested, post here or send me an email at [email protected] or you can PM me for prepayment info. I can meet up to collect money whenever. If you can make it to the 403honda meet on Wednesday nights at Chinook, I'll be there too.

I'll also have paypal setup shortly.

If you think you can drift in your car, you're more than welcome to try. As for spectator access, I dunno yet... I'll have to check with Race City.

[Icey Blue RSX]

does the car have to be registered and insured for a race track?

[rage2]

You can tow a race car there if you want. Doesn't have to be street legal.

You can bring any car as long as it's mechanically sound. There will be a small tech area to ensure cars are safe for the events.

[sasukekun]

I'm in. Hold a spot for me.

[kolumbo69]

Im in for all four days just show me wear to pay and hold me a spot

[sexterhardon]

[EricEric]

whats the tech requirements? fire extinguished? cage? scatter sheild? metal valve stems? helmet? cat converter?

[EricEric]

so are rusty 86s allowed? or was he just kidding?

[JungleMatic86]

Tech will be easy to pass.
Were not going to get all tech about everything, if your car is in good running condition...or close, it will pass. The tech will be similar to whats done at Secret Street on fridays...probably not that anal though.

Bring a helmet if you have one...BRING EXTRAS IF YOU HAVE THEM

BTW...I will have the most beater/rusted/noisy/$300 car there (try to do worse ;) ), if it can pass, anything can pass :D

[crazydave]

how will 16year old kids with a auto:banghead: 240sx with a 4 point harness and a muffler and tein basics be treated, i love drifting and id rather learn at the track then the street. thing is im not sure how i would be treated if i were to go, my car being an auto:confused: and im in my last year of high school so im working on a ca18det. cuz it seems like everyone here is pretty good buddys.

[rage2]

I drifted in my SLK 32. It's an automatic with no LSD. It's about LEARNING how to drift, everyone will be treated the same way.

PM me for prepayment info. I can meet up to collect money whenever. If you can make it to the 403honda meet on Wednesday nights at Chinook, I'll be there too.

There won't be helmet rental available AFAIK, but I'm sure some of us can lend you a helmet.

[Khyron]

I'm interested in at least the first 2 days, and maybe the other 2 if I don't suck too badly.

Khyron

[EricEric]

a manual ka24 is hard enough already a auto gonna be tough

[bundi]

[crazydave]

[bundi]

i thought people would come out to drift.. not chirp to their tires.. lol

hey cmon now you know what I mean, find me a car that can drift without tires sliding accross pavement ;)

[F.D.S]

Yes that will be fine. Just keep in mind that, the last two events will not be nearly as dedicated to basic concepts as the first.

[F.D.S]

thats ok i need to learn legally :)

[MR.TWO]

any word on if we can come and enjoy the show. my car is still under construction. i could bring my mni van:banghead: lol

[SpoonEK9@STRD]

first night this thursday! wooot.

[Cueman]

Hope everyones having luck getting their cars ready, and hopefully everyone can show up between 430 and 530. We've got a few things planned, but for the most part it's going to be quite casual. We'll work on corner entry with some drills from Drift Bible, as well as some mid-corner and exit work with a small skidpad and slalomn before breaking out into a small course for some real fun.

Looking forward to it. I believe spectators will be ok, but the pit area will be reserved for entrants only, and there will be nobody but marshals on course.

[Boost Infested]

i will be spectating, and i will have a camera as well. where can i park?

[rage2]

If you need to prepay, please go to the 403 honda meet at chinook tonight. I'll be there!

[Boost Infested]

any cost to spectate?

[rage2]

$1M dollars! :rofl:

I dunno, I'm still debating if we're gonna make it private. Too many people are gonna show up and slow things down.

[Boost Infested]

alright i wont bother then.

[Khyron]

[Redlyne_mr2]

I was just out there...brrrr its cold standing around. It was awesome to see the scene come to Calgary. Props to Cueman and rage2 for putting on the event. It was wicked to see the drivers improve their skills as the night progressed:clap:

[finboy]

Khyron

[rage2]

Man, what fun tonight. Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as me.

BTW - It wasn't me behind the wheel of my car. Marc can drag race, but he needs work drifting lol :D.

Ok so do I haha.

[F.D.S]

LOL, I saw the black beast out there roasting off the rear tires and wondered who was driving. Of course I better keep my mouth shut since my car stayed in the parking lot :tongue:

Looks like a great turnout for the first event!

I meant it failed the insurance inspection. Tech may or may not have passed it - dunno how anal they are about it. But with no shocks, kind of dumb for me to try drifting. :D

Khyron

[Cueman]

Not that anal on tech. As long as your car is safe... i.e., wheels aren't going to fall off, the steering wheel is going to do it's job, and it can stop, you should be good. Glass and lights are not a major concern.

How many 86's were there?
Believe we had...
7 86's
1 beautiful FC
1 STi
2 S13's
1 S12
and some German thingy...

[F.D.S]

OH SORRY I mean in the pictures above who is that????

[ninjak84]

Looks like fun!
Some suggestions for next season:

- Tire sponsors! For us cheap-o's.
- Summer sessions! For the students who get sent to Bum-Fuck, Saskatchewan for 8 months.

[statick]

looks wikked fun... i have no drifting experience or anything like that, only been driving standard for 2 months...would i still be able to join in the upcoming days ???

[Alpine Autowerks]

Definitely come, you will not be alone in that.

We decided there won't be any formal instruction, but EVERYBODY is really friendly and open if you have questions, or want to ride along.

This Thursday, we'll be starting around 5:30, you don't need to prepay, but you do need to PM me by wednesday and tell me if you'll be there. There will be a cut at 20 cars. Again, cost will be $40.

Format will be about the same as last week, but we're going to try and come up with some better courses.

[JungleMatic86]

Like Q said, the course setup will be a little more technical.

Any suggestions? we have some ideas, but input is appreciated.
Anything else you would like to try?

[JungleMatic86]

More explosions?

[bundi]

4 foot ramps AND explosions! :thumbsup:

[ApexDrift]

can anybody lend me a helmet?

[bundi]

Are there any places to "rent" tires up there? I'm going up to edmonton so I didn't want to get tires in lethbridge and drive in edmonton with shitty tires....

Edmonton peeps.. you got snow still? :(

[F.D.S]

Oooh that was me asking,looks like fun.

[EricEric]

[kolumbo69]

No more drifting for me this year:cry: as i spun a bearing and all my piston rings are shot wooo hoo. Oh well coming out next year with my new beast.

[Cueman]

That's that. Thanks to the guys from Edmonton for coming down. Some solid talent there.

... looking forward to next year.

[rage2]

Man those Edmonton drifters have big skills and big balls... adds up to an AWESOME show! :thumbsup:

[mx73someday]

That was great fun, too bad I only built up the courage to try it on the last day.

[typhoonslippery]

Nice work on the last event! Your drifts onto the backside of the oval were pretty crazy. I tried going down the backside (the oval portion of the track) doing some crazy drifts, but I ended up in the grass (I was the guy in the red hatch with swinging magnaflow). It looked like you almost hit the wall on one of your spins.

THIS WAS GREAT FUN FOR ALL! I can't wait until I can do it again.

Any vids up yet?? I want to see my pathetic attempts to drift.
