I doubt they're as clueless as you think they are...and if they are, then they would assume 'street racing' before 'burnouts'

ive been caught many a time, i told them i was doing burnouts and donuts in my rear wheel drive car and just messing around and they have let me go each time.

they then go on to tell me how they miss the rwd cars and how back in the good old days all the cars were rwd.

when i had my 300zx, each one of them would tell me ' oh i used to have a NNNZ(X) a few years back, i loved that car

what would be the expected prices to participate. like $20 or something.

then youd have to have a helmet, jeans, and every loose piece in the car be tightened.

it would be great if it could happen like 2-3 times a month.

The underlying expenses for a parking lot drift event will be the same as an autocross, so entry fees should be about the same. I'd expect $20-30.

I'm sure a helmet would be required, but jeans probably not. Unless it's a higher speed track event, the requirements should be the same as for autocross. Shorts and a t-shirt (probably has to be a JDM t-shirt, though ) should be acceptable.

If you're attempting to do something that's as stressful to your car as drifting WITHOUT having all of the stuff on your car tight... oh, nevermind. Have you met Mr. Darwin?

Yes there will be tech inspection
batteries must be held down

yes helmets will be required
but we're not going to be as SNELL 2003 OR NEWER required, just something that protects your head from bashing into the windshield and looks cool will do, so that its snug

i would prefer all of the chicks to be topless and all of the guys to be clothed. thats about it. oh and NO FRIP FROPS

say no to the 2320 flops
