Thanks!! no problem I don't think there's a whole lot that will be experienced at the event.

It will probably start @ 10am, but drivers will probably have to be there by 9am for a drivers meeting.

We're working on the details right now.

I also got some of my friends to sign up since you said it is not only for S2000 owners. Some of the cars that will be there are Jetta GTI, Audi TT, and BMW 545. It should be interesting to see how the different cars handle drifting.

It is possible because I have seen footage. The main thing is to keep the speed up, from there you can "surf" around the corners.
You are right though, the best drifting is definitly from RWD cars.

I thought this was a good article on the orgin of drifting:
