[chrisboiii]

does it cost anything just to attend??

[shragon]

$12 general admission
$9 presale

this is what i thought was always cool about mainstream productions. their spectator prices are always reasonable. some of these other show companies are charging $17 or more now (what a rip).

[m3luckyoo]

This should be fun, North Cal Caravan anyone?

[huggybear]

i heard that the 3 pro drifters coming from japan are pretty damn good. this should be fun.

BTW i was at a club drift event this past weekend and only saw 1 e36 there drifting. definitely want to see more out there for this event.

[jonsibal]

heres a french video of an e46 M3 drifting for those wondering if bmw's can drift.

[einhander]

Hey lets all park on one side with our DTM cars and let the JDM park on the other side. That would be awesome! =)

From what I've heard this is how the show will be set-up with Japanese cars on one end and Euros on the other. I also hear that show spots are selling out fast, so register asap.:D

[Slvr328IS]

I might go. Hopefully I'll have my coilovers and sways by then

[speshuled619]

does anyone know the address to this place so i can look up directions on mapquest? i wanna see how far it is from san diego and how long it will take me.

[BoostFed325]

[speshuled619]

thanks for the link huggybear

[shragon]

a few of my friends and myself will be heading down for the show. however none of us will be showing because there's too much prep work involved on showing on a sunday since we're from norcal. plus we would have to drive back home late on sunday with work the next day. anyway, see ya there.

[huggybear]

looks like we'll have to check out all the norcal rides in the parking lot. hehe. i'll see everyone there.

[shragon]

lol, naw, i'm from norcal, and we got our tiiite azz kia minivan rental. it'll be displayed in the KDM section. :laugh

[huggybear]

ha! shragon, i was looking forward to checking out your car too.

[shragon]

hahaha, sorry, i'll be at bimmerfest tho!

[huggybear]

I may have to drive up the coast to bimmerfest this year. BTW spoke w/ RMS and they are thinking about building a e36 drift car. how crazy would that be.

[chrisboiii]

see you guys there. Got my tickets already :)

[SilverBeam]

I'm there, but my euro will be watching from the sidelines...

[huggybear]

chrisboiii,

are you entering your car in the show?

[speshuled619]

alright so whats happening? is it forcasted to rain on sunday? is the show still goin down?

[SilverBeam]

Any possibility that this show will sell out? If so, who do I talk to about getting some tickets?

[huggybear]

supposed to be clear on sunday. slight chance of rain on sat. get your tickets online at www.driftshowoff.com so that you will automatically be entered in the sweepstake to do a ride along w/ the driver.

sorry if this sounds too much like a commercial. hehe. i'll see everyone there on Sunday.

BTW we should have a designated spot where all the bimmerforums people can meet up and chat.

[shragon]

yea, it better be clear cuz i'm driving down from san jose! anyway, i got my ticket... total of $9.50. :D

:laugh no way. But I'll take that as a compliment. :D

[huggybear]

you'd be surprised man. showoff judging is very different from the Hot import nights stuff. you don't even need neon lights to win. ha!

[huggybear]

holy crap! just spoke w/ the guys over at Millen and Rhys is going to come out w/ his evol VII for the contest.

this is going to be sick!

[shragon]

cool, just a few days away!

i'll be wearing a black baseball cap that says "shragon" on it. if you see me, say "wasssssssssup!"

[huggybear]
