Dover De drift event anyone?

[Slappy]

If you are serious about wanting a drift event at the Dover Downs Raceway parking area with cost relative to other events (around $40-$100) , please post here. This is not another lame attempt , this is legit as it gets with serious contacts. I just need a initial list of drifters that want an event in Dover so i can get this thing rolling.

No need to ask questions or flame like a tool , just simply say your interested and promise you'll atleats show up.

[Slappy]

Thanks Will!!

Hello all ,

My 1st job in this was to post on as many forums as i could , wich came out to be 18 of them. They wanted my to get a general idea of how many people would actually want to drive and or help support this event if it were to happen.

My 2nd job was to wait atleast a week and a half and compile everyones post into a Word document and email it to my source. Wish me luck guys!!

Keep us updated on what happens with the even too"




"My dad is friends with the owner of Grotto Pizza. If you write something up to convince him to sponsor the event or have a certain part in the event to get more people to it I could deff. let him know and see what he says. It's a new up and coming sport and it's getting bigger and bigger so I think he might be alright with the idea. Let me know what you think"




"I also just set up a facebook group called Dover Delaware Drift Event. If you have a facebook account join the group. Slappy, if you have a facebook account sign up and I'll put you up as an administrator. Just another means of getting more people to find out about this even and want to see it happen."







snowskateskim21 - "Yea i joined both the facebook and myspace groups and i invited all of my friends...we will have to see what the outcome is. Hopefully it will be positive!"







importdemon5 - "Slappy, let me know if you still want to get grottos to do some sort of sponsorship thing if you and your buddies can get it going. What I think would help in getting Dover Downs to let you do the event there or get some sort of sponsors is to make like a 5 min. DVD of what drifting is and how it has grown from a Japanese sport to an American way of living and how there are so many spectators it is ranging close to NASCAR. Have like scenes of cars drifting and then have amateur drifters and pro drifters; Tanner Foust, Vaughn Gittin JR, Samuel Hubinette and anyone else that you may be able to get to speak on the DVD about drifting and how it would be a good idea to have an event at the Dover Downs speedway. I think that this would definitely yield some interest from Dover Downs if you get some pros in there speaking and a few amateur drifters speaking and how this can help get drifting off the street and have a competition/practice close to home"

WishIHadaSilvia - "It just as far away as VIR...I'd be down to caravan up there. That is some smooth ass pavement, it wont eat tires as quick as Pungo does. I think it would be sweet to get the RVA guys in on it too and literally caravan up there. However, I can't do anything like this until I get another job! It would have to be really cheap as well, because you can do VIR for 75 usually and that is a track. Pungo costs more I know but I live like 20 mins from there. Like I said though I would be willing to go out there to support it."

[nitroracer]

I'm interested in the event too. I have a drift-able miata and four extra wheels and tires to burn but little to no experience, any room for newbs? If not I'm still down for watching.

[Slappy]

Events are and always will be about helping novice drivers. There are events going on every summer in English Town NJ. Check out www.clubloose.com

[Slappy]

Update : Progress to get this event going will resume in October. Please be patient and continue to support! Thank you.

[Kouki]

SUPPORT! lol
sorry, just showing it.

[GHost240SX]

I'm there

[DJ919]

Not trying to throw things off course, but do you think you could "possibly" get a better number by mixing things up over that of just running Drift? ... Small time attack , or Gymkhana race...You'd probably get bigger numbers and a mix of rides. The AWD, and FWD enthusiasts would more than likely be pulled in for the Time Attack, or GymKhana.

[Slappy]

Rayn , you are so dumb..lol.

I see what your saying , i myself do more than just drifting , i have an open track day im attending next month. I will mention your request to the higher ups.

[DJ919]

Yeah man, it would be a first here in Del, and there's no question that it would draw big from the Quad state areas (Del, Jersey, PA, and MD)...I'd go as far at to say the New Yorkers would add a 5th element to a mixed motorsports event like this. :)

[KingpinCEO]

I'm close to dover... i'd be alot more willing for 40-50 bucks though... maybe 60.

all i have to do is change some numbers in the SDS, and swap my tires!

[Slappy]

Testing went smoothly.

[importfan21]

Count me in.

[Reckless13]

Cool Tom. Any pic's?

[Slappy]

Nah , that would reveal whos involved and i cannot do that right now. Sorry Gerry.

Count me in.

Thank you!

[Nater]

[Slappy]

Right on^

[KingpinCEO]

Ill support cant drift but **** it ill go

I dont have any experience drifting either, but I love going sideways around corners, and doing donuts at my job's parkinglot at night was always good fun.

:lol::lol:

[Nater]

lol i like doing donuts in the snow and rain its fun too

[Slappy]

Still in progress. There should be a major announcement come this April.

[lyricalmind24]

[Slappy]

[lyricalmind24]

[Slappy]

I sent an email a few days ago to the guy in charge of this now, no reply yet.

[Nater]

[Bush03z]

Yeah im a noob on this forum, especially to drifting, just got stationed up here at Dover AFB, from Mississippi! I'd definatly show up, don't know about me actually drifting? Maybe if i could find some old tires, i could make a fool out of myself! LOL, but i'm definatly down to support this!!!!!!!

What size tires do you run? I have extra 205/50/17s laying around

[Bush03z]

What size tires do you run? I have extra 205/50/17s laying around

Right now im running 275/40/18 in the rear, i do have my stock rims still, maybe i'll throw some sh*ty tires on my stocks and run those?

That's what most people do. If you happen to do that and 205s will fit, I'll sell 'em to you for $50. Less than 5k miles on them, but that wouldn't matter if you plan on tearing them up. :drag:

Yeah thats true, how bad does drifting tear up the car itself? Mainly the tranny, i know 03z have notchy trannys already, don't feel like f***in up my daily driver!?

I drift my DD and it's an auto (yeah, go ahead, laugh it up fuzzball). Doesn't do that much wear and tear as long as you know your car's limits.

[Slappy]

Hey guys, final word on Dover Drift is that its not happening. "We" tried. Sorry.

Lock thread!
