I'd like to register for the drifting. What is the schedule? If the auto cross does not interfere with the drifting, i will participate in that as well.
Yup, NICO members register for free...just by replying. The track schedule has not been finalized, but drifting and autoX will not interfere because they are done on the same track. There is not room to do both at the same time, so don't worry about missing out on one because you're busy doing the other.

That would be great to see some serious GTP's come too. I hope your friends sign up.

Carlisle Events will be supplying me the "Drift" schedule, in a few weeks which I'll post here upon receipt. The drifting is going to be a featured event, (including a guest drifter), And when we're not drifting, the track will be set up for autocross. Last year, except for a break for lunch, I believe we had enough volunteers to keep the track operating pretty much continuously throughout both days.

There really isn't a parking lot, it's also not advisable to do anything stupid like that as Carlisle PD REALLLLLYYY hates this event due to the amount of "street racers" and wannabees that show up. Be smart, be safe and don't act like a jackass and you'll get through the weekend without any tickets.

Bubba are you guys going to ruin yet another rental car by running it on the auto-x course?

Bubba had his 350Z there. It was Greg's rental car that we abused on the track, and yes, I'm sure it will happen again. I'm getting my own rental car this year, so we'll probably have 2 to abuse!

Everything! Not really though Autocross and drifting both days so I doubt she'll miss much of anything.

I'm probably several weeks away from getting the individual event schedules within the Carlisle Performance and Style show. But they do have a ton of fun stuff going on. Here's the Performance & Style show's link.

I hope she tries it. The autocross can be very addicting. From the timers chair, it was a lot of fun watching people's lap times improve after each run.

It has a box for a promotional code, is there one we can put in for a discount on the price or no?

I'm unaware of any discounts or promotional codes that we have access to. It should be the identical deal we had last year...but I'll double check.

Your car may not be ideal for drifting but I think you'd have a blast autocrossing it....

Well, I loved drifting there last year. Just gotta get my ebrake fixed because ebrake is a must if you want to connect that course. So i'll be if my car doesn't crap out. So you can count me in for drifting and auto-x as well. The track isn't that bad as long as you don't drop your rear end off into the grass at certain points where the pavement is higher than the ground, resulting in a huge bump that may cause some damage if you go over it. I dirt dropped a few times and I was fine but mostly as long as you stay on the track its not bad, just too narrow. Here are some pics of me from last time to give people more visuals of drifting on this track.

Those are great pics. Your sessions last year were a lot of fun to watch too. Glad to hear you're coming...

I appreciate your help. It;'ll be pirmarily corner workers during autocross, folks to help with registration, and to help tech cars. I'll be soon publishing a list with time slots for volunteer assignments.

Thanks.
