Damn, you guys went crazy with this!!

Well after meeting with Donna today, all I need to do is arrange a bit of a demo in the near future to show them what its all about and to prove that we can drift w/o tearing up the asphalt. It's had 3 months now to cure since laid down so it should be fine. I also explained that we forbid standing burnouts or keeping the tires roasted through a spinout.

There is an Import drag race in december and it would seem that Moroso is interested in adding some drifting to the show. There is also a NOPI event in 2 weeks and pending what we arrange with Donna, it might just be a great time to also do a lil expo while testing the track DG style.

The meeting was very positive, and while I couldn't get out on track since it was in use, I did manage to get some good pics for you all.

Here you go:






From turn 1 looking north toward turn 5, this is approximately 30ft wide and the track only narrows in a few places. I think this place will be all 2nd gear except turn9



Turns 3 and 4, turn3 is actually part of a 1/4midget oval track.



Turns 5 and 7



Turns 5, 6 and 7, nice set of switchbacks..



Turn6.


Turns 5 and 7 again.


Turns 6 and 8.


Ooh looky how wide. Turns 10 and 9 seen from turn1



Turn12


Turns 5 thru 9 looking across the track.


There's that quarter-midget oval.



Turn3 of Moroso's roadcourse, the back section gets kinda twisty, but soo narrow, the Kart track is actually wider than a lot of the roadcourse.

I'll keep everyone posted on when were going to test drift and how it turns out. I'll try my damnedest for the NOPI weekend in 2 weeks time. Either way, I think DG will definitely be at the event, if only with a small tent even.

Cheers,
Sean
