Default norcal UFO Autocross Drift Trial 3/21/09

Norcal UFO usually host autocross events in norcal, but my friends and I usually go to autox as a "drift" practice, and with the popularity of drifting, norcal UFO decided to do a "drift trial" to see how popular it's guna be. So they asked my friend to host a drift event and if we get atleast 50+ cars then they will host more drift events. The event will be held at the marina airport and t pavement is a very slick concrete, so it won't ruin your tires that bad. As far as tv price for the event, I'm not sure, an autox event usually is $35 for 4 runs and the drift event is guna be from8-4:30 so the price range is going to be from $70-$125.. But that's for all day..morning session to lunch is going to be an open track for doughnuts and figure 8 and what not and the after the lunch it's going to be a course..sorry if there are mispelled words, I'm posting this from my iPhone..so if you have any info or questions, feel free to PM me or call/text me at

831-444-5945

Thanks and hope to see u guys out there!! Tell your friends..we're tired of driving 3-5 hours for a drift event!!

hahah yeah i was the one with the pink wheels..my girlfriend told me to go with something different, so i thought, why the hell not..haha..its just spray paint..its just temporary until my friend with the shop is able to fully polish them for me..but about the event..it should be kinda cool considering luke and conrad are guna help host the FIRST even..and my car is still an auto right now, i just wanted to see if its worth doing the swap and use that as a drift car, because i had an s14 before and i might go back to getting another s14..so im using this event as a TEST if i wanna keep the sc as a drift car or not..but i look foward to seeing you guys out there, or whoever could make it..and ill be attending more MINI-MEETS
