ok as u can see
course is nice and wide
basically a big oval
u can really work on your entries and line
we set up clipping pints as well if u want to work on lining your car up correctly
instructors are on hand and they are all super duper cool.
course is very safe, i know many of the girls from drifting pretty got to learn there, i know i learned a lot there and worked on tandem drifts and stuff
course is safe and very easy to lear on. tires last well there too.
and usually passengers are ok, depending on the driver, i know for most groups passengers ok but first timers, instructors only
but u can really learn your car wlel and how to control your slide as well at this place
totally worth it
ill be swinginb y here too. probably help out with the stuff some

['90RPS13]

Damn. If you were east coast, I would be down. G'luck with the event! *a

[gotta240]

that does look safe... Where exactly is this at again? (please be close to sd, please be close to sd, please be close to sd!)

also, does this mean there will only be 15 cars there, or just 15 newbs and a bunch of other intermediate/good drivers too?

[Dousan_PG]

mostly newbs and some intermediate drives
the advance type of folk or doing HORSE THIEF MILE at the same track. that place u can really destroy your car.

but its not SO close to SD
sorry
its out by lancaster
take the 5 up (past LA) and head east on the 14

city is rosamond

maybe google/mapquset it from SD
some of the SD folks usually do the event too. i drive up from Orange County to go.

Offtopic, but do you happen to know if FLYBERT/Chris Mendoza's dad is still able to weld diffs? I've been trying to get a hold of him.

And anyone considering going. GO! Get your ass to balcony, tires do last forever there and it's a relaxed environment even if you are a total noob.

[A Spec Products]

yeahhhhhhhh

balcony is bomb for beginners

and $105 bucks?

no question!

you cant fuck up paint unless u off track real bad

but then why did u build a car in the first place?

[komedy]

can you send me a zip code or somthing, how far from downtown LA is it.?
will you do this event again later next year?
thanks

[Edgar]

this is great that you guys are doing this

[Dousan_PG]

theres events allyear

[Brian]

You only really mess up your car on Balcony if your name is Brian Harte...
and I am the only Brian Harte who drives there.... so....

[mrmephistopheles]

Nice price and awesome location. I wish I could make it.
Maybe you guys could buy me a spot for an event in late May or something. :bigthumb:

I've been a Just Drifter for 2 years and I have a problem, I'm addicted to their countless amount of track times, friendly and professional environment and if need be the one on one tutorials in your own car !

Seriously Just Drift is the shit and if HTM wasn't open on that same day i probaly would do balcony. I think I've done balcony like 6 times now and it never gets tiring nor does it ever get boring. Its a beginners track as well as an intermediate... its how you look at it and how you enter. It has taught me a lot, and I would HIGHLY recommend anyone from California (North or South) to attend. Don't give me an excuse about how far it is blah blah balh. Head out the night before with some friends and make it a trip. Split a room at the Essex house (if you tell them you are going to willowsprings you get a room for like 70 bucks).

Definately is a weekends worth of fun.


P.S. I head out from Santa Barbara so I don't want to hear any complaining. Do enough events and get good enough and you will graduate to HTM one day, arguably the bestest drift track on the west coast!

On a side note there is advance/expert group at htm that same day so on breaks you can swing over to HTM and see some top class drivers. Remember top 4 of pro am are Just Drifters, just being around those cats makes you a better driver.

Of course the one event I have the money for I cant make it to because of work.

[Dousan_PG]

[Wykydtron]

Awh man, I wish this would have been last weekend! <=[ I'd love to attend this event too! I'll be down in SoCal probably next spring. I posted this up on my site to spread the word.

[brainfood]

I learned there, and so have a lot of badass grassroots drifters. Def. a safe track and good learning experience.

[94cc0rd]

it was super fun but i sucked so bad.
i really want to try balcony but i have work on saturday

WA to SoCal ain't that bad of a drive. The number one rule you have to abid by is to plan out check points. It also helps to have some sort of sleeping remedy. I'd recommend flying!

[Flybert]

Just to let you guys know, balcony is the track that all us advanced JD'ers learned on. I love that course because it teaches you everything you need to know about drifting. First it teaches you how to use all the proper ways of initiating drifts. For the main turn, a clutch kick is best and you can extend with the ebrake if you'd like. On the back turn, the best way to initiate is with the ebrake from as early as possible. This part of the course gives you bigger balls because the earlier and faster you initiate, the better. This would be recomended for intermediate and advanced people only. Balcony also teaches you to take proper lines because when you come off the large safe skidpad, the straightaway entry is narrow. If you learn how to carry maximum speed through there going full throttle, you will get good really fast. This straightaway can allow for a fun manji drift line or a nice straight to carry speed into the long ebrake slide into the back corner.

I'm not sure if charlie is going to set up the figure 8, but that's always another option on balcony that tests your ability to take a good line and stay sideways. Here is a video of me along with jason L. and davedge.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...3&q=just+drift

In addition, if charlie allows it, you can drop into the keyhole coming off the backcorner. Dropping into the keyhole is a really good test on how to adjust line, especially for the low power KA guys. If you can manage to drop into the keyhole with your KA without straightening out, you know your skill level is getting pretty high. Combine this with a gangster longslide and I'd rank you as intermediate/advanced.

Go to the balcony, get awesome, and come out to HTM when you have the experience.

Trust me I checked the website before I posted here. There is no official next event (I see an event that should take place sometime in December but it dosen't appear to be a beginner event.).
