Think about it. What do you normally do on a Saturday night? Have a few beers? Pass out somewhere? Play monopoly with the girlfriend? Watch the 50th episode of CSI? Then guess who did it halfway through, ruining it for all the others in the room?

How about you come along to an event at Essex arena on the 2nd of august? This event is designed to get people off the street, and onto a track. With some incentive. Runs will be judged all night, and the most consistant drifter, not necessarily the BEST drifter, will win a prize of £100. Unfortunately, as this is a new event, the prize is dependant on us getting 16 entries into the comp/drift all night.

Here's how it works.

(IIIIIII) You want to just have a 5 minute drift session on the arena? Pay your 5 quid and get on there for 5 mins. Be warned. Once you go out there, you'll be gagging to stay out there

(IIIIIII) You want to have a play on the track all night? 4pm til 10pm? It'll cost you £30 quid.

Thats it.

£30 quid gets you all that track time, AND free entry into the competition, where we'll be judging your consistancy and skill and weighing you up against the others

We NEED 16 competitiors to be able to offer the prize money. So come on. Show us your balls and get on the track. Bang for buck, it doesnt get any cheaper than this

As for the spectators, well, the place is going to be rammed, when the drift sessions aren't going on, the chavvy saxo's and hyundai's will be allowed on the track for a burn. We all know what happens when FWD tries too hard in a corner.

Fun and entertainment for all the family.

Covered grandstand on the home straight, so it's prepared for all weathers

Let's have a list of those up for it!

Helmet is required

This is £30 per car. £10 for each additional driver on that car!!

Whats wrong with the one you had at Lydden mate??

Tempted by this myself actually .......... will let you know. Defintely down to watch if Im not doping anything else

LiGhTnInG · 23-07-2008, 11:17

At the end of the day, £30 for approx 7 hours drifting, is bargainous.

It works out at roughly £4 per hour.

7p per minute. Bargains don't come better than this

lil ben · 23-07-2008, 11:57

Will probably pop along
