Round 4 of the Lone Star Drift Series, The Mexican Standoff.

FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE, PLEASE INVITE YOUR FRIENDS! http://www.facebook.com/events/333598686731714/

The concept of this event was simple from the beginning. Offer a bunch of prize money and watch the competitors tear each other apart. With so much money up for grabs, how hard will the drivers go? How entertaining will it be to watch? How can we make it even more entertaining? This event was carefully placed the day after XDC finals in Dallas, so that all the out of state drivers could stick around 1 more day and try and take some of the pot. We also are going to allow drivers such as Chelsea Denofa and George Marstanovic to compete, and they have already agreed to in advance. This was cleared with both Formula Drift in advance, and every top driver in our series that is close to the winning license spots. Drivers such as Chelsea are able to win prize money, but not accumulate points in our series. They will be erased from the points race like they aren't even at the event in the final standings. For example, if Chelsea wins 1st and Will gets second, Will gets the full 1st place points in the series.

When: Sept 23, 2012 from 9 am to 7 pm. Drivers arrive at 8 am to get ready, drivers meeting at 9:45, track goes hot at 10 am.

Where: Mineral Wells Airport, Mineral Wells, TX. Just west of DFW.

What is it: This is both a fun event where anyone can drive, with an extra practice course so the action doesn't stop for the non competing drivers when the comp starts. Then we will have a full blown big money comp.

Price: $85 for competitors, $50 for open drift. $10 for spectators.

Registration: Drivers must register online by paypaling $85 to erinshill@gmail.com. If you do not register online, we will accept payment at the gate with a 25 dollar late fee. Please don't pay late. Online registration ends as of midnight on the 21st of September.

Spectators: Spectator fee is paid at the gate, not online. You may come and go as many times as you like at the event to get food, or for any other reason. There are multiple cheap food choices within a few minutes of the track including Subway, McDonalds, Chicken Express, Fuzzy's Tacos, etc for your lunch. You can arrive or leave any time of the day to watch and hang out, but the competition starts around 3 pm. If you bring an appropriate car helmet, not a bicycle helmet you can ride along in the drift cars! Bring cold water, shade, and chairs!

 

We have so many cool cars in Texas that are drifting nowadays, and a bunch of rad 350Z dudes.

Mario Gomez is rocking a rad 350z in our points series with full NA bolt ons, a cage, fancy suspension stuff, and it works amazingly! He is getting really good, and has been really aggressive in tandem lately!



Kevin and True are co-driving this 350z. It is getting caged and prepped for our The Mexican Standoff while we speak, and since they are getting frustrated with bolton NA early VQ power, they are adding a 100 shot of NOS! Should be interesting to see if they can pull off a happy NOS powerband while drifting.


And then we have Imran in his Nismo 350z. Stitch welded race car stuff, but too fancy to cage and drift.....


And just to give you an example of how much win our events are, we ship out awesome cars like Matt Powers and his pirate mobile to drive with our locals. Anything to make the events better!




So come out and drift with us. If you are a newb, we have classroom sessions to start you off slow. We have track clinics, to start you off a bit more hands on. We have practice days, competitions, and drinking SEMA parties. : )

 

Can't wait!

 

Dude this is in a week!!! I see you're from San Antonio, there's hardly any local Z's out here from DFW at any drift events, I'll be out there just for the open drift though, it's the first time I'll be taking 6+ tires with me, would be awesome to meet fellow z drivers, still trynna convince my buddy Jake, either way Im pumped... Deedilus you trailer your ****?

 

Really regret not driving Texas events more often, now I'm moving far far away. If you guys have the opportunity, attend Aaron's events as often as possible, he's amazing at what he does!

 

Yeah, most Z dudes it seems just are into the whole stance thing. We've got a few awesome Z's out here in SA that go to events regularly though and drive like bosses. It seems like at every event there are more and more Z's out there, it's pretty awesome!

And nah, I drive it up there and back. Last event was the first time I've ever trailered it and that was because no one else was going and I could steal a truck and trailer from them.

This beast was unloaded this morning at autocomp!



We have a whole new contender with a new cage and nitros in a Z!


We have yet another scion FRS coming out, making it our 3rd drifting at our events. It doesn't have a cage, but does have a TURBO!!!


I am just about to head out and get my V8 toy so I can drive this weekend : )

 

Thanks for the kind words : )

 

looks like it is going to be fun!
