^ Lol, neutral drop or just mash the gas pedal?


I was going to register when I saw the email, but I'm still waiting on my refund/credit from the last event. The event is cheaper by $9, though, so maybe I'll wait on the credit until the next event.


How bad do you think this will be on the rear tires (or, rather, drifting in general)? My rears aren't looking too great from doing 20 laps at Mineral Wells last time, but I'd rather not replace them anytime soon.

^ I don't have extra wheels anymore, even if I could get cheap tires to burn off. Plus, mounting them = $

I might just go up there to watch and have fun seeing everybody spin out....instead of drifting.

This is not a "drift" course. If someone decides to drive it that way, then that's fine. If driven intelligently, you aren't going to burn through a set of tires.

We have one small grill for grilling hot dogs, and I'm not sure if we'll have another. I suggest if anyone has a small, portable grill, and would like burgers, etc., then they bring it.

I don't think I can make this one....but I have a portable grill that you guys can use. So if Scott, Jake, Pat or Travis are gonna go then they can come and get it.

Default Event Cancelled

Since there is a chance of rain, and everyone is waiting until the absolute last second to signup, we are cancelling the GymkhanaX on Saturday, the 15th. It's not worth the effort, or expense to ask my Committee to attend. Any entry fees have already been refunded via PayPal.

After this weekend, get used to early registration deadlines.
