been there, its fun... but I'm not sure you're going to find people paying 90$ to do another oval for drifting. not to mention the center X has like cement ramps for the drainage sewer pipes. the trioval is very fun to drift the long turn though.

ocala speedway drifting (i think is correct link, im at work so cant check) >>

Keep in mind this would be a multi discipline event. 1 hour of open track lapping, with instructors, a time trial once everyone has some laps in (3 laps All out best time wins) and a possible drift event (or an auto cross if the drifters aren't into it) so $30 per event seems reasonable.

instead of running 1 hour open let the whole hour be the time attack? the timers would be hella busy but i think it makes more since then doing that then running 3 laps, cuase if you run 5 or more back to back your going to be pushing some serious times compaired to 3 timed runs...just my thoughts

great Idea but there can only be 2 or so cars on course during the time trial. there should be as little or no passing (that would throw off the timers) if all the cars were on the track going all out that would be a road race. and then everyone would have to have roll cages and real race cars. that is what I'm trying to avoid.

a typical time trial is 3 laps combined. it keeps drivers within their limits because a spin ruins their time.. dead stop to finish 3 laps is your time. it's a little more challenging.

so break it down for me,
date it will happen?
hows practice going to be ran?
how are classes going to be set up for time trial, then keep the same class for auto x?
thanks, im super intrested

Date: I have not set a date with the track yet...
Practice: 10 cars allowed on track group one and two have instructors group 3 and instructors can run By themselves.

solo drivers flag during Group 1+2 instructors flag for solo drivers and the students flag for their instructors

we let 10 cars out when Group 1 is running group 2 working, and so on and so forth... with the roval arrangement there is full visibility of the whole track from anywhere so we could run the event with only 3 flagging stations.

If I can get fast involved I'd like to use their classes since people are familiar with them and they are fair.
