if someone had an in with whoever puts these events on there might be a chance...

I'm glad to see this post is finally going somewhere. LookOutDriftMike...I know who you are now, if just need a good parking lot I've got a list, and if you need someone to go talk to people I am game.

Re: Drift practice!
The reason they host auto-x's at little creek is because one of the members works at the little creek base. If my roomate's (wishihadasilvia) dad could pull rank it might work. Little creek is sooooo sweet and smooth. It seems we have plenty of sponsor's, the track layout and insurance covered (thanks to lookout).
We just need to make some phone calls and get a location verified so we can make this happen.
I'm almost getting excited!

Re: Drift practice!
Ive tried Numerous times to get an event on Little Creek and Fort Story.. The Military looks down upon Drifting as it not being a legit sport and wouldnt be worth the time and money..
And the reason they have Auto-X's on ACU 4 is because the former CEO of ACU-4 was a SCCA member and let them do it there.. I've talked to him with my dad at a few Auto-X's out there and he has told me the same thing.. "We dont want to lot getting tore up" or " You guys leave too much rubber down"..
