Stadium Event

[Udrivecrap]

i don't know... i'm not the promoter. i just read that from the OTHER website

*ahem*.... i read on the OTHER site about my math ability

i figured $10,000 per event as an average. the first and last event should cost more than the other events. then factor in the show on tv as an expense.

shooting for $100,000 would cover all of this. question is, if they don't get 5,000 spectators... are they going to lose money? will the drifters get their refund if there are NO EVENTS AT THE STADIUM AFTER NOVEMBER?

i read this on the OTHER site that November was the last time to drift there. maybe they can use their contacts (friends and family) to change that decision?

there is nothing wrong with my math... i just didn't show the rest of my equation and how i came to figure $10,000 per event.

so did anyone ever get a refund?

no way in hell I would wait till they announce a date for an event that may or may not ever happen.

i haven't read anything about refunds. i read about a penis/turtle award. did they give out the trophy yet?

[Ronin]

no words at all about refunds. He seems to be avoiding the subject at this time. Last I heard, he said we'd hear about it from him late in November. Hopefully he'll answer all those questions then. Till then, we wait...

Any news lately?

yea i just got back to the islands i totatlly missed out on this stadium day. are they planning for next month. is there a site up about this. or is it by word of mouth

[Udrivecrap]

there's a guy who promotes these drifting events at the stadium. its called Punishum Motorsports. there is a website but i haven't checked it out for any info about the events. they were able to get some dates in 2007 and the last part of Nov was the last event but was cancelled with the hopes to reschedule. they recently met with the stadium people and its tentatively set for the weekend of Jan 25 if i'm not mistaken.

as far as i know this is a final event by the promoter and only selected drivers can compete. i don't know if new comers can also have drift time. there isn't much other information about this right now. very little on the message boards. i know people paid and are just waiting for some word if its on or do they get a refund.

hope that helps to sum up this thread...

yeah..i get that. shame there is no safe(or even semi safe) way for people to practice without going the illegal thing. one reason i came to hawaii was to start over and get away from mountain runs and almost dieing or watching out for cops. and da clinics they called it was like 200+ for like 3 runs

[Udrivecrap]

yah its a shame the track closed. now would be a good time to build a new one. hopefully in the meantime there will be some more drifting somewhere, i like watch

20 years ago i was doing that on hwy 9 in california.. when it would rain it was so dangerous.

Ever heard of Drift Session, King?

[Udrivecrap]

and i prefer to be called the EVIL EMPEROR .... thanks in advance.
