the example has the models and sizes of tires exactly the same for the entire car..

so far unless i'm mising something then I couldnt see how any of these could be legal..


Azenis + HTR or VISA or Crap Shit MK1

Hoosier + HTR or whatever..

and REALLY technically

HTR200 + Visa would not be legal either..

Tire brand, model and size must be the same per axle

Hmm per axle... not for the whole car...

Personally, I don't think there should be a charge for specataors. Who'se gonna want to pay $5 to watch a bunch of people doing donuts in a parking lot? I think this should be run like an autocross. People don't have to pay to watch an autocross. Also, With this being the first event, I wouldn't expect it to be an immediate success. But the more people who come out to watch, the more people there will be to participate at the next one. Just my $.02. Good luck with the event.

people pay $5 to watch cars go in a straight line a quarter mile at a time...


spectating is part of the big deal of drifting, its a show for the spectators.

Tacdout is right. If your goal is to promote drifting in this area, the event should allow for free spectating, at least for now. The only way to have successful promotion of drifting as a bonefide motorsport is to have as much support as possible. That means as many interested people as possible.

Drag strips charge admission because they can. It's already an established motorsport in this area. Not to mention they are a business that generates income and provides seating, time/mph boards viewable for spectators, bathrooms, and a concession area....this takes money to run. What are the organizers planning to do with all the spectator procedes from this drift event? Are they collecting admission from the spectators to offset the cost of the days rent of the facility for the drivers?
At any rate....good luck with the event. I hope it is a success.

i'm sorry but drifting is still a major show for the spectators.

that due to the fact that its 15 dollars admission elesehwere in the nation, 5 dollars is pretty f'ng cheap if you ask me. thats cheaper than a 12 inch sub from subway (including tax).
