Drift Tracks & Tuition
We have 2 tracks at Smeatharpe:
1 - Large circuit style lapped track with upto 4 cars on at one time to keep the que times down.
2 - Beginner playpen with drift tuition available. There will be no spectators allowed at this track so even less pressure for anyone wanting to learn. Learn basic techniques like doughnuts, figures of eights and transitioning in a safe environment.
If you are thinking of starting drifting have a quick read through these threads for some basic advice:

Arms and legs covered & helmets on. (Bring your own) Seatbelt/Harness done up.
Take your tyres home with you and rubbish in the bins. Any fly tipping of tyres will result in you being banned from future events
Noise restrictions - NO BEE-R LIMITERS! If you have one you will be asked to turn it off or so it doesn't bang like a shotgun.
Obey the marshal's and flags. Bad attitudes towards the drift track marshal's is not acceptable, any problems ask for me, JK or Trevor.
TOW HOOKS - easily assessible tow hooks are required front and rear
Scruitneering:
Cars need to be scrutineered, common sense stuff you should have really sorted yourself prior to any event:
Battery secure
Seat & Belts secure
No fluid leaks
Brakes working
Footwells/interior free of junk (having a bottle roll under your pedals is not fun)
Tow hook
Working lights will be needed if it's foggy
Team Competition info
After the success of last years team comps we will be running them this year.
Teams of 2 drivers competing against other teams in a jam session format. Post up on here if you want to compete with driver names and a team name if you have one.
The jam session will start around mid day and go on for 2 hours. Teams will be scored on every run they do with the single highest score posted up on the live leader board.
ODC
We are offering scores for odc drivers at this event, it will be run along side our team competition for the 2 hours with plenty of chance to get a score in and not affecting seat time for anybody.
Remember this is just added onto our practice day so no priorities for odc drivers over anyone else.
