IDC Racing 2007 Series Status
It is with regret that we at IDC Racing have come to the decision to postpone our series for 2007.
We understood from the outset that we were facing a formidable task for
the time we had available. To produce a series that would be of the stature and style it needed to be would take more than we had. Time has proven that assumption to be true.
While we have had wide acceptance from the drifting community, both tracks and drivers, for our plans to bring organization to the local drifting scene, we found there were a large number of drivers who were ill prepared to meet the safety standards IDCR requires for competitive events. Therefore, this year we will hold practice and qualifying events to prepare the drivers and their vehicles for next year.
Also, the delay's we incurred in concluding the TV coverage have forced us to re-look at that area. We believe this is an important part of our goal to grow the sport of drifting and therefore a necessary part of our plans. Consequently, we believe it will be better to concentrate our efforts on finalizing these issues and prepare for the 2008 series.
Meanwhile, if you have comments or questions please contact me at the
IDCR offices. We will be contacting you again when we have completed the
tasks as stated above in time to schedule our next year's events.
I personally appreciate the effort you have made in assisting me to schedule our event this year and trust we can look forward to your continued ssistance in 2008.
