NASA US Drift @ Summit Point: My first event…..
Well, I finally got to my first Drift event this past weekend. It was @ Summit Point Raceway just west of Washington DC. Since I really have nothing to compare it to, I thought it was pretty cool……. It didn’t have all the “flashy” cars that I’ve seen on the videos but it did have some good competitors that are passionate about the sport.
Of coarse the field was dominated by 240’s (which if I remember right, won the deal) but Team Lexus was there, as was a 600HP M3, a few Toyotas and even a guy driving a fairly stock Miata for all it was worth.
As for the track: the layout was cool but from what I could tell, it was defiantly a Horsepower track with big corners and long straight aways. There was a small but good car show, a band and a decent manufacturers “midway” and even a car roll-over contest. Off on another track they also had a Drifting 101 clinic going on. That was very cool seeing guys try Drifting out for the first time……..
All and all, I had a great time and can’t wait for my next one…… Lets hear it for the East-Coasters!!
