drifting competitions

[SloS13]

I saw a vid the other day where a drag-strip parking lot had a drifting course set up. Where do I go to find out if events like this are being held in my area?

I went to http://www.drifting.com and it all looked like California stuff. Id be looking for something near Atlanta, GA.

Thanks

I've been looking for the same thing around Atlanta, with no luck. (same Xyster off po.com, by the way). The DGTA (http://www.dgtrials.com), or Drift and Gymkhana Trials Association says they're looking to expand, and gives tips on how to set up a legal event in your area. That might be something to look into.

yeah that vid you saw was from the dgta. They are cool guys, i went to two events. Definatly email them, they will tell you how to get things started in your area.

[skydragoness]

yeah, DGtrials is a good place to get started.

btw, J-Spec, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!!?message me or call me! you were supposed to come to this past sunday's autocross! :rolleyes

well, my computer is broken so thats why i havent been on line (im on my brothers computer which sucks ***)

Also i have been taking my car apart, 2 more bolts and the KA is out. There's going to be a good ol' SR20DET in there next time its running...

(sorry for the enourmous pic, My brothers computer doesnt have any image programs so a could not shink it)

wow i have cable and that pic still took a while to load. No fenders eh, just watch out for any leaking fluids

[Onizuka]

hehehe, i drained the transmission fluid like you said and all that junk. The biggest mess was when i disconnected the power steering lines from the pump.

Im having trouble disonnecting the mounts with my walmart toolset. Just 2 fricken bolts and that sucker will come strait out (i managed to get the transmission mount and driveshaft disconnected)

i KNOW you didnt just highjack my thread!!!

I emailed those guys. we'll see what happens. I need to get an LSD before i think about setting something up, but when the time comes it would be awesome to set up a similar event.

Edit: got an email back already, and the guy said to find some good lots and find out how to get in touch with the facilities manager and they take over from there :ylsuper

Awesome...I'll keep an eye out for some big parking lots in the atlanta area. The Turner Field lots would be great...but I think those get pretty much booked solid.
