California Speedway - Fontana, California

Thanks to the generous support of Drift Association LLC, we are proud to present to you The 2003 Nissan Owners Festival. This first-of-its-kind festival will take place at California Speedway located in sunny Fontana, California on Saturday, November 29th 2003. California Speedway is a premier multi-purpose racetrack, where some of America's greatest racing series are hosted. Located 40 miles east of Los Angeles, it is central to many of Southern California's finest points of interest, dining, entertainment and shopping.

Our event's focus is to bring Nissan owners together and stimulate involvement in sanctioned track events. At this festival, we offer you the opportunity to participate in either a Drifting School (staffed by highly-experienced drifting instructors) or an all-Nissan meet. In addition, we will have parts giveaways, food and drinks, and special Nissan car displays. Many vendors, who cater to Nissans, like KAAZ USA, Superior Nissan, and 5Zigen USA will be out there to show you their latest in Nissan-specific applications. Bring your friends and family, you all are welcome, because after all…we all love our Nissans!

I will post more registration and driving information once they are available, as well as more information regarding vendors.

For more information visit http://www.socal240sx.org or email [email protected]

BTW this event is open to all Nissan cars!!!!!!!!!

more info on the "Drifting School" please....for experienced drivers will it just be a track day?...or is this going to cater to people somewhat newer to the drifting scene and might be a bit slow and redundant for more experienced drivers?

basically is it ala a Drift Day? or an Open Track Day?..

thanks

I drive a Nissan.. woo hoo! I'm so there.

It will be a standard Drift Association Drift Day event (officially called Drift Day 10 on their side)... except it will be similar to Drift Day 8 where there will be more beginners than advanced drivers. Most instruction will be done on smaller skidpad courses so the flow of the driving for the day will be pretty smooth.

thanks Alex.....i think i'll stick to open track days and competitions though..DD's are a great way to learn and get the basics...but after that they seem kinda slow and repetitive...

keep doing a great job though and i would SO encourage anyone looking to get into drifting to attend these events...so much to be learned from some very skilled instructors..

I dont have my 5-speed swap yet, so do you guys think its worth it to register for this event with an automatic?

[DRFT]

Yes because i have a auto too well maybe its not a good thing but the more 240's the better.

[pruto]

looooong time no post...

anyway, hey alex, i have a question, is this the same event as drift day 10? on the drift association website it lists november 29th as the day for DD10, at cali-speedway... it actually lists the same lot # you guys are using, lot 11. I just wanted to know whats up.

anyway, this is my one chance this semester to drift, so i'm soooo up for it

LOOK WHAT IT SAYS ON THE WEBSITE

"Every journey begins with one step. Koguchi, Ueo, Kumakubo- every single one of them was a beginner at one time. Now is your chance to step up and experience the rush of learning how to slide your car. No more excuses. Be it stock, modified, open-diff, even automatic, it's time to get your car out there and have fun! Not only is this event targeted for beginners, Nissan owners get first crack at registering!"


stop making excuses

Read before you post, grasshopper!

[pruto]

hmm, i missed that, sorrrry

but the DD10 info on the driftday website and the info on the socal240sx website doesn't match exactly and it is a bit confusing. neither one say anything about association with the other except for the bit about drift assoc. instructors.

oh well, whatevers, doesn't matter.

back to lurking... 'til next year boys =)

if it is the same as all other Drift Days then a T-Shirt and DD10 sticker should be included in your registration..

[DRFT]

Me and my friend w/a maxima will prob head down to the festival. maybe the norcal folks can meet up cause most likely you bay area peeps have to take I-5 south right? and i live right next to the highway, well not right next, (i aint no bum either)but i live close to there and theres a bunch of nice spots where we can have a premeet before the festivities begin!

[s13chica]

[fliprayzin240sx]

10.28.03 as of 4:27 pm there are 21 people already registered for this event. Moreover, two of the 21 aren't Nissans either. I was under the impression that this event was going to be an exclusively Nissan-only. Perhaps I am mistaken.

for the meet?..which it would make sense to be only nissan..lol..since it is a Nissan Owners Festival..lol..

or for DD10?..

cause Drift Days are open to ALL car makes and models..even Front Wheel Drive..there is, or should be, no prejudice in the Drift World....especially considering that these are Car Control Clinics...not Nissan 'ONLY RWD' If-You-Drive-Anything-Else-You-Are-A-Retarded-Ricer Event..

[DRFT]

Well this is a all nissan event, not all nissans are rwd( ie:sentra,maxima, altima)

[mav1178]

Please note that although Nissans are given priority, the drifting portion of the event is open to non-Nissan cars as we are in a collaborative effort with Drift Association.

So my point is: SIGN UP NOW OR ELSE YOU WILL SEE MORE NON-NISSAN DRIFT CARS OUT THERE.

In light of the recent fires that have consumed so much of Southern California, we have decided to change the November 29th Nissan Owner's Festival slightly.

All proceeds from this event will go towards relief efforts for the fires. Right now I am looking to have donations given to the Southern California chapter of the American Red Cross (thru KFWB 980AM). I will also set up donation boxes at the event so that people can do donations on-site.

I would only like to ask you fellow Nissan owners for a favor: Please, if you have not done so already, register for the event (either for the meet or for the drifting portion of the event) so I can figure out rough attendance levels and can calculate the amount of money we can raise for this good cause.

If any of you wish to help or want to know more information please email [email protected] for more information. Please note that due to SEMA Show we will not be able to answer the emails in a timely manner between Nov. 1st thru 10th.

Even if you do not register for this event, please try to show up and give support to the sponsors and attendees at the event. Not only are we celebrating owning a Nissan/being a Nissan enthusiast, now we also band together in this time of need to show that car enthusiasts CARE for those that are less fortunate. The least we can do is give our support to those that have lost their entire lives in the fires.

Lastly, please check the various news sources for updates on the fires, and keep those that have been displaced in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you very much.
