I'm interested.

What are the requirements? I noticed Drift Day requires an extra set of wheels and preferrably adjustable suspension.

Default I'm down

I defniately interested. All Zs and Gs would be cool. I know dd has been useding Irrwindale alot, hopefully we can use the bank!


FYI the car(Zs and Gs) need no mods to drift well, you can drift like a champ in them right out of the dealer. There are not many 'stock' cars that you can upshift to 3rd mid-drift and keep em spinning. A stock ride that can make the bank at irrwindale is hard to find, especially for our budgets. And you can even get a D1 licence in the stock car, Sam Hubunette(spelled wrong) has done it in a rental Z and I did it in my Z, all I had was an rsr exhaust.

I would be interested depending on when this event takes place. Never had the guts to drift my G fearing that i'd mess it up. I would have to ship my stock rims from norcal down to socal though. How do you guys think stocker1 225 pilot sports would hold up in the rear w/ a vortech??

For any reason Naoki can't take care of it, let me know. I am staff/instructor for Just Drift. We can have our choice of 3 tracks at willow springs.

The budwieser balcony, a small track with only a few turns, but it's great to learn on because the main corner has a skid pad on the outside. The skidpad is also great for beginers to practice doughnuts(mmmm) and figure 8's.

Walt james oval is a great track that a little more complicated. It's a bit faster than the balcony but it has ample runoff so you wont ruin your car. It's an oval with a road though the middle, we run around the oval and through the center and back out onto the oval. It's a fun track because you go full throttle almost the whole time, this is what makes it hard on underpowered cars and beginers. The pic of my car was taken here.

The horse theif mile, definately my favorite track I've even been on. A 1 mile track that shoots up and down a steep hillside with a canyon feel to it. Not a good spot for beginers but if you've been to a few track events you should be fine.

Naoki should be able to handle it, and besides I'd rather run Irrwindale anyways. Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks so much. Please PM so we can discuss. I was at Big Willow a fews ago with Speedventures Road Racing when you, JustDrift, were on Horse Thief. That looks insanely cool, yet you are right, not a beginner track.

Let's talk regardless.
