But this also meant it gave the LEAST amount of seat time out of all the events.

I must say that out of the 3 DD's this one was definately the NICEST track and was ran and organized the BEST out of the 3.

However, no matter how flawlessly you run an event, there is no way in hell drivers will get the amount of seat time they paid for when there are 50 other drivers waiting in line to do the same.

I left the event happy, albiet a little aggravated because of the hurricane we all got to go home to, but I will never pay 75-100$ again for 10 laps at a drift event...and from the numerous other people I talked to, they won't either.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE either a) lower cost, or b) lower amount of drivers allowed to register

Having 75 drivers at one event would not be cooler even though it would make the event probably the biggest in the country!

I spoke w/ one of the owners (guy in red shirt) and he asked me how the event was going. The ONLY thing I was dissastisfied w/ was the amount of seat time, and he seemed to agree. He said that they didn't 'know' this many drivers were coming and that caused problems...but then again, on the pre-reg list, there were 50 open spots, so

Even though one could argue that they didn't know that all the spot would be filled, w/ one real practice drift event happening in Central Florida once every 4 or 5 months, you have to EXPECT every allowable spot to be filled.

I understand that you guys have to break even on the cost of the events, etc, but the price per lap was in the 10$ range and that was rediculous. Key here is frequency of events, which I'm sure you know. Have them more oftem and things will get better because 1) not everyone can AFFORD to pay 50-100 entrance fee 2) conflicting schedules 3) car not ready 4) just plain dont want to go every month

The co-owner I also talked w/ mentioned something about Monday night 'track nights' were you pay something like $35 and run all night. Not sure how involved they are w/ you about this, but possibly a Fri night or Sat night would work out MUCH better because of schedule problems...either way, even if they don't change the day, if this works out it would be a blessing for the drift community. 4 or 5 hrs of drifting at a track for a cheap price, and getting more track time than all the DD's combined! I couldn't see more than 8 or 9 people coming to one of these, probably less.

Anyway, not trying to gripe Kyle, just giving my .02cents and some constructive criticism.

I left the event happy, so hah!

EDIT: And a BIG THANK YOU to you and to EVERYONE who helped put the event on. I'm sure its not easy. Thanks!@
