4/3/12 UPDATE:
Hey guys,
Here is the layout for the event.
It can always change but this should be close to how its going to be.
Drivers & Show cars will need to be in BEFORE 7:45 AM! SO I highly recommend getting there by 6am-7am. If you're not there by 7:45am, the gates will be closed and you will not be able to drive or show. This is due to the track also being the entry point.
Car's with low ride height should enter from the Harlem entrance. 71st st entrance is not super low car friendly.
Vendors will also need to be there by 7:45am.
Drifters will need to park your cars and trailers in the PITS area only.
Show cars will need to goto the CARSHOW area and get positioned by STAFF members.
Drivers meeting will be at 8:30am and track will be HOT right after the meeting.
Spectators - Gates open at 9am and you will need to enter thru the 71st st, into the General Parking area. You'll need to walk thru the Walkway and goto the Carshow area. Spectating will be only allowed from the carshow area.
Drifting - There will be 3 groups. Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced. We will be doing 20min sessions for each group. Advanced will start at A, Intermediate B, Beginner C. There will be 2 course layout, beginner and intermediate will follow the RED line. Advanced will follow the Grey line for higher speed.
There will be a mandatory lunch break from 12-1, track will be cold, so spectators will be allowed to walk to the pits to check out the drift cars.
Food trucks will be there in the north end.
At 4:30 the track will close and show car winners will be announced.
