    The next weekend up at Buxton Raceway is April 5th and 6th both starting from 9am.


    It's a tenner to get in, still a tenner to be a passenger per day, and £20 to drive per day.


    This event is at Buxton raceway, about 3 miles from Buxton town at SK17 0RR.


    The timetable will be something like this:


    Friday night - camping available. Depending on numbers the bar may be open.


    Saturday. Drift practice from 9 am till 6pm


    There will be a tyre van on site, £5 per rim to change tyres. TyrZ will be in attendance and following last times drifting he has a rough list of sizes that you guys want.


    Practice sessions are tailored to drivers ability. If you are new and want to go out alone that's fine, let us know. If you're with a mate and want to practice twinning then queue up together and let the gate men know. You'll see the regular guys going out in huge trains, I've seen 14 or more, quite something.


    Saturday night. Bar open until late. Mayhem and daft games all night. Camping free. There are good clean toilet facilities for a wash in the morning but no showers or hot water.


    Sunday. Circuit opens at 9 for practice. Then at 3 we'll have the competition. This will be on a different track layout to whatever practice track we've had and is open to everyone. A prize for the winner of the comp will be FREE drifting the month after, therefore with Alan Espley winning the comp he will receive a FREE drift weekend this time round.

    Also on a separate thing from the Comp i also picked a driver from Saturday and Sunday who will also receive a prize of a free weekends drifting next month, The lucky people were James Oliver and Craig Hallem, this has been done as a thank you from Buxton to all the Drifters from March's event.


    There should be an hour's practice afterwards if you aren't competing, but no guarantee.


    There's a burger van on site and a bar open. Anyone thought to be drinking and drifting will be breathylised.


    £10 per day to get in for every adult. £20 to put your car on track (per driver), and £10 to be a passenger. Kids get in free. Passenger rides available.




    Please read the timetable above and understand what you are coming to. Also the competition is open to EVERYONE so don't worry about your level of ability, you're welcome to have a go.


    Be nice to gauge interest after what was a cracking opener to the season so please add you names to a list.


    Can't wait to have you all back for a mad weekends drifting.

    Thanks

    Ill be there, not sure if just sunday or both days yet... i hate the camping, it's fucking freezing and every time i've camped some wanker has decided revving the knob off his car at 3am is acceptable.
