SoCal Viper Autocross and Drift Clinic October 24, 2015

[1HOTACR]

Anyone have more details on the "drift school"? I'm curious to know how the event works, meaning do you get 1 run at it? 2?? 3?? Do you have an instructor with you?? I'm thinking of bringing the wifey and since she doesn't reach the pedals to the snake (fixed seat hehehe) I'm thinking the drift event would be a fun thing for her to do.

Hi Eric
We will have four run groups at the Autocross.  You will get three runs in your group so the wait will only be a couple of minutes between your runs.  After your group has completed the first round at the Autocross you will go to the Drift school if you have signed up for Drifting.  This will give you plenty of time to Drift and get back before the next round of Autocross.  Your wife would be in your group so you could go and watch her or if you have also signed up for Drifting.

Each person going to the Drifting class will first attend a short lecture on the basics of Drifting.  Afterward you will drive the Drift car with an instructor.  When your group has completed a round you can go again by yourself or with an instructor time permitting.  This Autocross/Drift cycle will continue all morning.  After lunch the Drift area will be open to all paid drifters at any time. 

Hope this helps   8)

Ben said we have to give you a 5 second handicap because your getting to fast.   

[Speedtactics]

Funny, we never did that to Ben all these years!

We won't need any handicaps because I ordered 1st and 2nd place trophies for three classes.


Stock- Stock or minor mods
Modified- Suspension mods and/or tire upgrades
Race- Cars running Slicks or Hoosiers

Not that I plan on winning that category, but just in case

Thank you to all who attended yesterday's Autocross and Drift Clinic.  The whole day was a complete success!  Everyone respected the track and fellow drivers and had a good time in the process.  A big thanks to Gary & Melissa for taking care of the timing device and recording the scores and Mike H. for handling the accounting on site.  As you can see below times were VERY close... some were so close it came down to that extra donut eaten that morning.  Thanks also to all who stayed afterward to help Steph and I pack up... Randy & Diane, Gary & Mel, Mark Y., Jay, Mike H. and Jerry.

Save the date for next year's Autocross.   Saturday October 15, 2016
