To All Drivers Drifting @ Pacific :
Here's a couple of key points to take note of @ the inaugural NOS Forum Fest 2010:
1)
Gates open @ 7AM for drivers to get in, and get through tech. All drivers will have to go through the same lines as the drivers who are planning to run the drags.
Please print out a copy of your registration receipt to avoid any confusion at the gate. Expect lines and wait times to be long. As for you drifter folks, you'll be directed to the "Drifting Pits" which is the semi-circular bowl at
TURN 8. See enclosed picture.
2) In-car passenger (x1) is considered crew. That would be ONE passenger. They get to go in with you @ 7AM. Doors open for everyone else @ 9AM, so if you need help setting up, make sure they are WITH YOU when you check in.
Spectators are allowed in only after 9AM, and parking is $5 (for preferred lots) and any spectator will have access to the pits.
2)
Drivers Meeting for the drifters is @ 9AM @ Turn 8. ALL DRIVERS ARE MANDATED to attend this meeting. If you're not at the meeting, don't expect to drive so plan to get there well ahead of time.
3) Tech Inspection : amongst other things, the crew will be looking out for a) DOT / SNELL approved helmets, b) battery tie-downs, c) LEAKS. Should there be any leaks at any given time during the event, the vehicle will be turned back to the pits and have such said leaks addressed. Vehicles with leaks shall stay OFF the track until which time they don't leak anymore.
4) Additional Gear : While this might not be a common practice within our community at this time, I still would encourage you to get an in car fire extinguisher mounted securely within reach of the driver. As of this event, like fire suits, this would be "recommended but not 100% necessary." Expect this to be mandated shortly for future events.
5) Misc : While we're not expecting temperatures that of last week, I would still advise you to bring your own tents and seats if possible. Also, NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED while on the road course! Lastly, drivers under 18 will require one parent to be ON SITE to sign waivers...
