Default ThunderDrift ROUND3! 6/21



HELLO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!


Are you ready for ROUND 3 ACTION???? I know I am. We've got all the fun factors you've grown to expect from the comp series ready to go... WITH AWESOME ADDITIONS! We're talkin Bra-******, Pinata Smash, Dirty Apple-Bobbing, ETC!
And it's SATURDAY PRACTICE, SUNDAY COMP just like the rest of them!

Limitless Motorsports will be putting up an awesome prize again... Stay tuned for WHAT IT WILL BE

For those of you who don't already know, here's how we're doing it:
Practice all morning, comp starts around lunchtime. 1st elimination is 3-runs each, 2nd elimination and on are 2-runs each. The actual group breakdown will depend on how many participants we have.

REMEMBER! if you haven't competed at all yet, it's still not too late for you to collect enough points by the end to finish well overall! Each event you miss will make it much harder to regain points though, so if you're going to at all... jump in now! Also, for those of you who ran in round1 and didn't make it to round2... come back! you've already got points that could add up to a season-championship trophy!

There's been some confusion amongst the community about this comp series' final round... Just to clarify, the final round of this series will NOT be held on the full track. Round6 November is the FINAL ROUND



Oh and for those of you who don't want to compete, Saturday will be an open practice day just like any other TD event.


Entry Fee is $100 per driver, per day pre registered. $120 if you don't pre-register.

Spectators are $5 (Enjoy our new grandstand location!)

Passengers are $15

PRE-REGISTRATION IS MANDATORY FOR COMPETING DRIVERS!


<3


and in case you missed it, SATURDAY PRACTICE, SUNDAY COMP, like usual

How can this be possible?

we run on the skidpad south of the turn 10/11 complex. This allows us to run simultaneously to events on the full track. We do run fulltrack drift events, but we won't have one of those for a few months.



EDIT: yeah guys, come on down. bring your helmets and we'll let you take a ride, or if you guys are interested, I do a 2-runs for $20 deal for guys just like you.

Okay everyone! Last day to register!

Here's a few things you should know:

- There has been a lot of road work on hwy162, so don't follow eachother too closely... there's gravel out there that'll bullseye your windshields.

- There will be no camping, sorry guys, NCRC doesn't have it pre-arranged, and for us to do it independantly is $300. Let's visit this topic earlier next event and if people are REALLY interested, we can all throw-down to pay the gate-guard.

NOW! enough bad news, HERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS!

THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL!!! No 120 degree days just yet... the forecast is 90 on saturday, and 86 on sunday. 86!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got round-2 photo-trophies to give out, as well as dash-plaques for julian/ryan, and Kevin from MCE will be providing a trophy for 1st again! He'll have the Dyno open all day both days, so if you wanna get your whip dyno'd... rock on up!

07:00AM - Gates Open
08:45AM - Drivers Meeting
