Car Control Clinic September 7, 2013

[PCH VIPER]

For those that want to drive the Megan Racing Drift car, please make sure you let me know BEFORE September 2nd  !!

They need to know how many people will be driving their car and order enough tires for those that are driving their car.

I guess they are expecting us to SMOKE some tires !!   

[Green Mamba]

Ok Lance I am in on a trailer with at least 3 set of rears to smoke you bastard, twisting my arm like that. I loved the comment that everyone else is trailering with mutipules of tires. Jeezs talk about peer pressre. Plus I miss you guys.  Lets turn that parking lot into a rubber lined plate!!!

[PCH VIPER]

    LOL....no arm twisting.  I just didn't want you to take the wheels off my car when you hit the chords on your tires.

[Banzai Ben]

Please add Mikey to the drift car list.
Thanks

[ACRBruce]

Time to dust off the car and come out and play.  Oh, sign me up for the drift car also.  Love the smell of rubber...

[PCH VIPER]

For the guys heading up from the San Diego Area,  contact Paul G.  He will set up a meet point and you guys can drive up together.

Hey Lance,

I think my sister(Akemi) is going with Mike Fujita and will be taking Yoko's spot for this event.  Akemi and I are planning on renting the drift car!

Hey Justin,
Great....I'll make the changes.  Your sister was doing donuts in your car at the Duke's Run, so I'm sure she will do great   

I'll add you both to the drift car.

Are helmets required ?

Are helmets required ?

They are strongly recommended but we are not going to require it for our portion of the event.

I need to double check with the Naoki for the Drift Car, but fully expect that helmets will be REQUIRED when driving his car.

[Nino Valmassoi]

Lance,

Please add me to the drift car list. I need some to get some experience in NOT going sideways.

This will be done through a series of exercises that our instructors from Megan Racing will be teaching us.
The guys from Megan Racing are Formula Drift experts and will be helping our members learn the art of drifting through car control.
