Not my thing (I'll be at the track instead) but for all you drifters/drift fans, you may want to check it out. Golden Gate Fields refers to the big parking lot next to the horse racing track in Dublin, right by the bay. http://www.sfrscca.org/solo2/Sites/goldengatefields.html

That's pretty pricey for a parking lot drift event.

Well... Figure they're paying about the same that the SCCA does to run an autocross there. The SCCA will break even (roughly speaking) if around 200 members pay $30 each. If you limit entry to 45 drivers, $125 sounds about right. Event insurance runs up the cost quite a bit, that's a fact of life in this lawsuit-happy country. :roll:

Not sure what you guys think, but I figure we don't need to be too early since they will be doing prep and stuff. How about 9:30 am at the Starbucks on Lawrence and El Camino? (the one by the Denny's and Albertson's and stuff). We can chill there for a bit and then roll out at 10...should put us at the drift thing from 11 to whenever we bail. Let me know what you guys think. Also, who knows how to get there?...you know me and leading ;)

That was pretty fun, and we lucked out with the rain stopping during our stay. Hey Jeff, did anything special happen later in the day at the event? I always end up missing something.

Great day hanging with everyone. I was actually doing video most of the time and will post up some clips later. My daughter took a couple pics though (not bad at all for being 5), and then I took one of the Evos...

She loves Initial D...

The first Trueno there is mine, although I wasn't driving it since I couldn't register. An instructor took it out for a few laps.
