XTREME DRIFT CIRCUIT, PRO-AM Series

[Justin Banner]

I know pickups aren't allowed at all in FD, so why would you want to go thru pro-am in a chassis that you know you'll have to change if you get a license??

To hell with it. Found a shell on Slideways forums, so does any one need a 1987 Nissan D21 roller/parts truck?

Too bad your passing on the truck. It would have been cool to see one competition ready. I drift an 06' 350Z and its not easy to get it to cometition level here in AZ. Financially anyways. If I had to do it again I would go with an S chassis since there is so much help for them.

Xtreme Drift sounds cool, but I thought the ProAm series was the feeder for Formula D? Either way, I hope they put some limitations on the Xtreme D class as there's a ton of money required to compete in Formula D.

BTW, what's up with the missing 'E' in XTREME? Who the heck thinks it's cool to misspell words?!

In my oppinion this is kinda unjust. Any team who put together a budget to run a full series and placed in the top 3 or 4 shouldnt have to attended a 7th event just to recieve a pro licence. In my eyes anyone who is able to do that should automaticly be licenced for the pros next year.

Send the other 12 of the top 16 out to the pro am, along with others who ran in other local championship series or qualifiers. I hope FD sees this as a chance to let the grassroots decide who is ready to step up to their level. What is 3 spots too series who has trouble filling all 32 spots at a event (Seatle).

+1

Or have an east and west proam event. But, I like the above idea better.

Yeah, but I saw the point that Slapshot made, do I want to pay twice or once? I have found a S13 shell closer to home and will be looking at it. Got a theme in my head already, and somehow I know it will tick the base off. Won't say yet, don't want to spoil it.

Factory backed RWD scions but no privateer pos trucks lol

Serious Justin... you might want to shoot a email to the organizers or something. You might/should be able to work something out for your D21

Well, I have already planned to look at the S13 chassis on Saturday. I'm also looking at it like this; if I do get a license (even if it takes a year or two later) and do even just the East Coast Pro Events, I'd like to not have to spend more money to either petition or buy/build a new car.

Good luck with the search Justin. If you were on the west coast I might be able to help you out. But, for the cost of transporting a car- you could just spend that extra $1k on something nicer.

I'm picking up a S13 chassis on Sunday. $100, minor rust in the spare tire well and the battery tray and the sheet metal under it is gone, but it's straight, and $100.

[socalwrench]

Nice job. $100 is a deal. Besides, you can relocate the battery and weld in a new piece. Plus, you can install a fuel cell where the spare tire used to be.

Yeah, it also has some interior parts I can sell. 10 for $10 sale, anyone?
