Slip & Slide Drift School/Practice V2.0 - Summit Point, WV, Planning thread

We're looking at getting another day at Summit Point Raceway set up for Drift School\Practice. The one we had 2 weeks ago was a blast with over 30 cars. The U2NG Camaro got over 30 runs in about half a day on 4 different courses. The people are phenomenal, the action is awesome to watch, and you learn a LOT about car control. You're not stuck with an instructor at all, you're free to go on your own and learn your car. There are no speed limits, once you pass the cones, you let it rip.

Here is a link to the last event so you can see how it looks. There are 3 track setups to drift and practice on plus a circle skid pad that is wetted down so you can go both directions in a circle and learn how to keep your car sideways and learn how to use throttle control rather than steering control to pull a General Lee

I am pasting the open Sunday dates that we are trying to get the track for. Which date is best for you? This feedback is valuable if you're able to attend! I know I am going along with the rest of the U2NG crew.

Want to come run? what date's good for you?

10/29
11/19
11/26
12/3
12/10

You're best bet might be to email jshaffer@up2nogood.com to make sure your vote is counted. (I have trouble watching all these threads.)

Is this an actual school / instructor-led event, or just an open track set up for drifting that anyone can pay to run on?

I looked at the website but it just looks like a bunch of people got together one day and ran the course. I didn't see anything about a school.

Wanted this - , but ended up with this - for free. Can't argue with free.
