£20 Passenger ride tickets (details below)
Everybody has to pay £10 for entrance to the venue and then £60 to drift. So £70 total for drifters and £40 for additional drivers.
Passenger rides are a new addition to the October event, this is the way Straightliners want to do it:
You pay £20 for unlimited runs but you have to choose 2 cars that you are allowed to ride in with. Once you have signed on you will receive a wristband. Same rules apply for passengers (arms and legs covered, helmets, seat belt/harness, windows up). Minimum age is 16.
Payment link is on the Straightliners website. Register to the site and follow the on screen instructions to book a ticket when they become available.

Drift Tracks & Tuition
We have 2 tracks at Smeatharpe:
1 - Large circuit style lapped track with upto 4 cars on at one time.
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:

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.
