FORMULA Drift "TELEVISION DEAL" with G4TECHTV

[kidynomite]

I know you're going to hate me for saying this man... I don't mean it in any harsh way...

1. Who cares if they(whomever they are) laugh at us?
2. There's no money for drifting there yet. It's a few more years for drifting to mature as a fully organized sport. Like NASCAR or IRL.
3. How about you come up with a proposal for investors if you have a good idea. If they like your idea, they will cough up the money for a project such as yours. But the problem with having sponsers is that they will want to see results. Therefore you will come across the problem number two. Unless drifting is super popular, keeping a crowd for drifting will be very difficult.

Again, it's all about supply and demand. I don't think the demand is there for purpose drift facility yet. Supply isn't the issue. If the demand was there, I'm sure plenty of investors would drop their money for this in a heartbeat. This is in no offense to you 188u. This is again just the way I feel about it.

Have to agree, now I think there is enough demand for a place like this, more than likely in Cali, but nobody except a few of the pro drivers have money to run thier cars enough to keep a place like that in business. Affording tires, and affording fixing your car etc.. is a lot of money, plus I would rather not see some sort of track that is babied and made easy/not dangerous, and at this point some people are still afraid to go balls out on actual tracks with walls and whatnot.

Although there is atrack (Blackhawk Farsm I think) who are considering making a drift track. The easiest way to afford a drift track, is make a go-kart track. Now we of ClubFR will be hopefully running on 3 different go-kart tracks this year. When I say go karts I mean shifter carts, they are just big enough for cars (some are more than big enough), but then I guess the only problem is that our drifting scene is becoming too high speed and go-kart tracks are mainly 2nd gear.
