Browsing around the site and i found out that they are gonna be holding a winner take all drifting competition consisting of 12 top drivers from here and japan. But the schedule of that event is on april 30-may 2 and there's is no exact date on when its gonna happen but im pretty sure that they are going to do it on a saturday. Im gonna call the office tomorrow to find out when's the exact date they're gonna run the competition. here's a qoute from the press release:
If Historic Stock Cars represent racing’s past, Drifting has been tipped as the next big thing. Part of the sport-compact car boom, it involves a driver intentionally putting his car into a controlled slide (or drift) at high speed through a marked course. Drivers are judged on execution and style, as well as on speed through the course.

Twelve top drivers from North America and Japan have been invited to a $10,000 winner-take-all International Drifting Shoot-Out. They’ll “drift” through Turn 2 (Andretti Hairpin) and Turn 3.

if i still work at holiday inn express at that time (i hate my job :pissed: ), or maybe even if i don't, i might be able to get a pretty good group rate on rooms for those interested that don't live in the area. just lemme know how many people are interested so i can talk to the sales director ahead of time.
