It's official US Drift day in Feb @ VIR
US Drift is holding a one day event at Virginia International Raceway (VIR) on February 21st. Here are the details and requirements. This is NOT a competition!

VIR has recently completed their new Patriot Course which sits inside the famed “big” track. US Drift ran a demo on the Patriot Course last fall and it is a track that is a ton of fun as it offers high speeds, technical areas and elevation changes. The event is taking place on Saturday and the first session will hit the track at about 9 AM. After a day of driving US Drift and the National Auto Sport Association (NASA) are throwing a free party with food and beverages for all the drivers and their crew. Camping is allowed however expect VERY cool weather. There are a number of hotels in the area and many with cheap rooms.
There are only 30 spots open for this event and drivers must have previous experience; track days, drift events, autocross, racing, driving/race school, etc. The cost of the event is $100.
The 30 drivers will be broken into groups of 10, each group will run for 20 minutes at a time. There will be a one hour lunch break and the track will close at about 5 PM. This means that each group will get 7-20 minute sessions on track, about 2 ½ hours of total track time. Each group and driver will run for a constant 20 minutes, the ENTIRE circuit will be used. No stop and go, the sessions are open.

AGAIN, space is limited! If you would like to run in this event you must contact Mike DeFord to verify experience, he can be reached at 804 275 8399 or email him at mike@usdrift.com

Reading between the lines. If you get 10 of your buddies to get a run group together and you were all doing "grip" driving (as drifters like to call it), then I wonder what they would say?

There was A guy who did exactly that at Summit Point a couple of years ago at a NASA event. He picked up the nickname "Wrong Way ???" (sorry drawing a blank here on his name).

That was actually Warren Wang a honda challenger racer who went of at turn one at summit and jump back on the track only to find out he was on jefferson circut, he did enter the drift competition but could not get his Hossier Shod ITR to "drift" that was at the first "hyperfest" that we at nasa-va put on, there was a guy there in the drift contest in a nice 325i bmw who put it nose first into the tire wall in turn 7 and total his car in the drift contest, sounds like feun EH? ?!?!
