DRIFT

we hav'nt held any large races on this concept usually 4-6 cars

Qualifying time trials (quickest time = position) this is done 1 car at a time , standings after trials are for entire day or event , QTT can be done day before races if desired.Races are in sets this allows winners to pit out well another set goes , for cool down , charge up etc , 

 drivers are given standing # P1 ~ # of cars

Race 1

 P1 vs P6 (last car in standings) 

winner takes pit lanes prep and moves on to next heat , (not sure what to do with the second place guy yet) 

race2 new set 

P2 vs P(_)  

Race1 (second heat)

winner vs P(_) next up from bottom 

Race2 (second heat) 

the overall goal is to be the winner of your race , 1 or 2 , end of the day or event winners from both will have a final race to determine overall winner.

we have had a few negative responses to our idea , such as points , who races who and all that , but really when it comes to race day , the event goes well if everyone involved just listens to the officials , watches the standings and , and trys to understand that your way may not be the way these races work , all in all everyone has fun , few new comers that have taken in , say its like tokyo drift baja style , the heats are fast , the standings change quick and when you take first and the end of the event you go home feeling good , the QTT standings is very fair , takes awhile to get your standing number (we're working on it) but once you know where you are in line the day goes quick. 

we're sticking to a single diamond for our events , but we welcome any club that wants to try this out to go ahead , we dont have what it takes just yet to hold a multi diamond , 3 day event with 50 or so racers , we have a hard enough time dealing with a 6 - 12 driver event over 2 days.

if you do decide to host a sandlot drifting event , be sure to invite us !  

we are always welcoming new drivers to our events email laughs_2004@hotmail.com for more info .. please include subject line : Sand Lot  

Drivers Tip !

Practice practice practice , find an out of the way diamond and set up a stop watch , 5 laps per heat , get your time down !
