Ok it’s finally confirmed thanks to the kind people at Willow Springs, RMJ Motoring and Illicit Performance will be hosting a Grip and Drift event. The track event is reserved for Saturday, May 22nd, 2010, at Horse Thief Mile. We will be having some Formula D and Pro drivers there for instruction and help as well, I will announce the confirmed names in a couple of weeks.

For you are not familiar with Horse Thief Mile (HTM), it is a 1 mile long, Canyon style road course. This is a nice course with elevation changes and 11 turns, top speed is about 70-80 depending on your car.

We am limiting the number of drivers to 20. That would be 10 per group with 3.5+ hours of track time per group, 25 minute each session.

The entry fee is $160, ($165 w/ Paypal fee) per driver. Drivers can share a car but each driver must pay registration fee. Cars must pass a basic tech inspection (read INFO below) and you need an approved helmet – MA/SA 2005 or newer. Convertibles must have a certified roll bar.

See the bottom of the post for the event Schedule.

Tech inspection: Please make sure to go over your car BEFORE YOU COME TO THE TRACK! We will be performing tech inspections on all cars driving in this event, we don't want to turn anyone away because of a failed Tech inspection! Your entry fee will not be refunded if you come and your car fails tech! If you have questions please PM me or contact me.
