I believe the word you're looking for is Exhibition (unless of course, you're TEAM LEWIS AND CLARK!). Exhibitions usually aren't competitions. Who will be doing the judging? What are the judging parameters?

PS: Also, there usually isn't a whole lot of seat time involved in an Exhibition...so how many people are going to get to drive and for how long?

I don't have a problem drifting my daily driver on an oval. Just it doesnt interest me at all to drift an oval. But i def. understand your point of view and when Ter-Tech was throwing all the hialeah speedway events that was what the majority of people said who didn't sign up said too. on a shorter note, i just ordered my Jeff Gordon stickers for the April event in OSW

Ok guys heres some more details, I have spoken with the FAST MEDIA REPS and they are saying is we get 40 cars there will be $1000.00 to give away to the TOP 8 DRIVERs....so thats means theres alot of money to be given away, We are also looking at aprox 6 Hrs of Track time with 4 hours from 8am-12 for Qualifiers to be judged for top 8. Then after the stock cars race later in the day we take the track again with our top 8 cars for a show off. Judges are being worked out now...But they will be qualified to judge. This event will cost $50.00 to enter no more as I have been told. There will be 3/4 sessions were the cars will go through and get time on track to be judged, Similiar to last events schedule. If you guys have any questions I can be reached at
C9P7D - AIM
SDMTRSPORTS@yahoo.com
Please get in touch.
You will be paying that day at the gate...The drift showoff with the top 8 will be in front of a big crowd so lets get FL's best out there and show them what we can do.

damn i dunno but when i do that math in my head 40 cars, qualifying, 4hrs of track time doesnt seem like you can qualify 40 cars, that's like 1 run of 6mins each driver. is that right? no practice to get a feel for the track? lemme know im interested but not for 50$ for 6mins of drifting
