View Full Version : Drift Atlanta Sign-Up: Sunday, April 25th

Drift Atlanta is going on all weekend, but I thought I'd set up a list of those that are attending on Sunday.

Tickets are $25 for the whole weekend, or $20 for Sunday only, payable at the gate.

The first event on Sunday is qualifying for the Mazda Speed Cup at 8:00, which I plan on attending. The first "real" event is the Mazda Speed Cup race at 12:00 pm followed by a series of races up to 5:20 pm, with the SCCA Pro-IT race (what I'm more interested in, really) at 2:45.

More info here (schedule) (http://www.roadatlanta.com/index.lasso?-database=road_events&-layout=ev_2&-response=eventdetail.lasso&-recordID=26&-search) and here. (http://www.driftatlanta.com/) Of course we'd all like to park together and represent the BMWs, so I'll try to park up by the Suzuki bridge in the infield.

So, who's in? Copy + paste list and add yourself, plus the time you're planning on getting there. You can call my cell when you arrive, 706.296.0079 if you'd like, and we'll meet up.

1. Geordie: 8:00

1. Geordie: 8:00
2. Ryan: 8:00 (might be there on Saturday as well)


Oh and someone asked if the Pro drivers are going to be there and the answer is yes, check out formulad.com. My guess is that they'll be judging.

So......who's got a turbo M3 I can borrow on Sunday? :D I just want to take it for a little spin ;)

For those that don't know, Friday is a test day and I believe the public admission is free. You will have to sign a waiver at the gate. Very good day to come watch as you don't have to fight any crowd to watch real racing action

Who was the second gunman on the grassy knoll?

Are we alone?

Hey guys. We need a couple of flag girls for the races this weekend. If you guys have any hot female friends (need pictures to verify ;-)) then I can get you guys in for free for the weekend. We currently have at least two taht will be there and I know we will need at least one more. All they have to do is wear black pants, we give them a shirt to wear, and hold flag for us during the starting ceremony. We will have an A/C cooled motorhome there they can change into their clothes if they don't want to wear them to the track. Just let me know what you guys can do.

Not sure what we will be doing. Best thing is to come by our rig there in the paddock area and check things out. Any of you guys come by as I would like to meet yall at some point. I will also try to get out and come hang out with yall some.

OK, you can add Aaron and Justin to the list for both days, if we're not already on there.

Or, if we are, you can write us in again at the bottom, so it feels like more people signed up.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned anything about the Speed WC touring race. As far as I'm concerned that will probably be the best event there. Then of course the drifting. And we should all sit on the big terraced area with all the concrete bench things (don't know what turn it is).... Geordie might have said it.... 10 maybe...... anyhow. I went to the Petite LeMans and Speed WC last year there and it's definetly the best place to sit. (offers the longest viewing of the cars)

I don't know if you all are planning on riding up together Sunday, but I have to be there around 8am :( boo! I'll either be in Traffic Jams booth or with the regular parking for the Mazda Extreme Street show...

Sucks tho cuz today my freakin' Pioneer brain has been giving me the fits today (of course, 1 day before a show!) and without tearing the whole trunk apart, I'm afraid probably no sound to hear on Sunday :jedicryin We tried tonight, but it comes on/off when you go over bumps and rough road...There's either a damn relay f-ed up cuz you can hear it clickin, or the Pioneer brain is acting up..
Either way, the show isn't judging sound, so should be ok, but sucks if you guys stop by and can't hear it..
Cya all there tho! Can't wait...

ok, so then can someone please tell me where I need to go then since I have never been to RA, and dont know where anyone will be.

or, if anyone wants, we can organize a quick staging point at say Gwinnett Place Mall at um... 9 or 10?

Otherwise I'll just call Ron on his cell when i get close.

Through an "unfortunate" circumstance, I was down at the Atlanta Motor Speedway parking lot on Friday while the Mopar Dodge Viper (Competition Coupe) had rented one of the parking lots out for practice for the drift contest this weekend. I am curious to know how the team did in the competition.

By the way, the team had $20k in yokahama AVS Sport tires to work with. A set of 235/35 19 on the rear of the car lasted about 8 minutes in the parking lot.

AwesomeM3
04-26-2004, 11:15 PM
the viper was insane! that thing had a golf cart full of tires and was soking them @ 60+ mph hard, The viper and the new GTO driven by reece millen did well i thought...

E36M3
04-26-2004, 11:47 PM
The Mopar Viper won the event. Sam Hubinette drove the wheels off that viper. In his tandem competitions, he was passing people at full drift on the inside and outside of that horseshoe. It was crazy!

Believe it or not, Rhys Millen didn't make the Sweet 16 and therefore didn't qualify for Sunday's competition.

The old school AE86's were really competitve too. They drove great.

The mopar viper will be at Laguna Seca this weekend for another drift event. The next one after that is Formula Drift in Houston in June. Peace,
