Drift competition Eglington 9/4/12

[m3con]

On Easter Monday northwestfest and myself will be holding a drift
competition held at Eglington. Drifting will start with everyone getting
A practice run around the track then there will be qualifying.
No drivers will be eliminated at qualifying stage it's only being used
So we can seed the drivers. Because of the layout of the track it provides
A level playing field for the cars where huge horsepower cars can't get
Pulling away from the average drift cars which we feel will make for some
Great drift battles. And will showcase the driving talents possessed by drivers and will provide a few shock wins .As spectators will be walking about on this occasion the practice track will not be available for use on the day as a track but will be used as the pits
We also would like to invite all road going drift cars eg.all rwd cars for the first meeting of the drift car owners club . If this club meeting is successful the
Price of practice days at tracks could be reduced by half for everyone . There will be no charge to show your rwd on the day and there will be a prize
For the best drift car on show
Entry costs : drift £25
Spectators £10
Under 12's

Good luck with this con,hope to have the car ready for then.

[Mac_C]

Nice 1 con , good work :cool:

[martydumpvalve]

good lad im all over that just a few things to iron out before then thanks for the help and advice at aghadowey :)

[Stevie-mc]

Sounds good con I'd be on for this. gonna be a busy easter:p

[karglass]

sounds good con, should make this one

[m3con]

This event is now ROUND 2 Of the n1 drift series
In association with aghadowey
We hope to provide 2 venues relatively close to
Each other so lads can advance their drift skills
With 2 completely different track layouts . Because
The majority of drift cars are now on restricted budgets
We are using the drift series to showcase the talents of the
Drivers more so than the cars . Drifting is not a top
Motorsport as yet and sadly we must give way to other forms
Of motorsport that take place at the venues which is why it's so
Difficult to set out a list of dates for the year. This is why all new
Ideas that Help the sport grow need to be well supported or we end up
With nothing again

[aka pete]

Con haven't made it up to this yet but any local venues is always good lol
saw a vid of last practice day - is that gonna be the layout for comp?? kinda like a figure 8 I gathered from video.. can u do a birds eye diagram on here so we have an idea of layout..cheers

[m3con]

It's like a big R figure we used it at the last practice day
And it works really well. Will put up a drawing soon as a know
If the widening work will be completed before or after Easter cause
Layout could change

[neil_v8]

Sounds good wudnt mind gettin to this!

[percy]

[Northwestfest]

Con has brought to our attention the possible need for
A track for new and experienced drifters to go to learn or
Set up cars. So at northwestfest we are offering track hire
For groups of 3+ cars come and use the track anyday
Of the week @ any time within reason provided no events being held
On that day the cost of this is
£25 per car per/hour for first hour then £20 per hour
Thereafter
Track is also available for any other Motorsport if anyone is
Interested

[Joliet Jake]

I should make it up hopefully Con.

Good to see the drift fee's down to £25. That'll help me make more events.

I've got a new skyline to try out, I just drove it from england in december and parked it so it needs a wee drive out.

[m3con]

Good man jake see ya there aye good to see someone
Taking active measures to encourage people ta get
Involved in Motorsport hopefully the guys at northwestfest
Get good support for this and can maintain the low cost of
Entry for drivers for future events

Great news today after a meeting with management
At Derry airport we have secured another large section
Of unused airport roadways which are finished in smooth
Tar (not high abrasive runway). This area is adjacent to the
Small practice area used earlier this year which as anyone who
was on this knows it's very easy on tyres. The overall length
Of the new track will be between 3/4 and 1 mile long depending
On final layout and 30 metres wide
We will if its a clear day have pictures of new track taken by helicopter
On Monday during round 2 of n1 drift series
