Texas
Mike Peters asked me to post this on some of the Florida drifting forums:
February 17, 2006 will go down in history as Texas's FIRST ever road course drifting event at Grand Sport Speedway by Texas Slide and Houston240sx.com.
Where?
Grand Sport Speedway is a 1.7 Mile freshly renovated Road Course located near Hitchcock, Texas, and very close to Gulf Greyhound Park for those wishing to earn a license at the Formula Drift Qualifier on Feb the 18th at GGP. We will be using the Brittany Circuit, Overhead veiw of Grand Sport Speedway's Brittany Circuit can be seen by clicking here.
We will run the track one direction in the morning, and switch directions in the afternoon. We will be using run groups, which will run in 10 minute sessions, non stop from the moment the course goes hot until a 30 minute staff lunch break, until the end of the day or until our goal, everyone runs out of tires.
DIRECTIONS TO THE TRACK
From downtown Houston head south on I-45 towards Galveston. Exit to your west (right) on exit 15, continue strait across the light and take the next exit on your right onto state Rd 2004 that runs parallel to the dog track. Continue down 2004 for about 3 miles right through Hitchcock, Tx until you see four large concrete pillars on you left. The track is right beside these pillars. Turn left onto the small gravel road past blimpbase Rd and go a few hundred yards through the gate. You are now on the new site of Grand Sport Speedway.
Track Address is:
GrandSport Speedway
5402 Highway 6
Hitchcock, TX 77563

REGISTRATION
Pre-Registration will be $75 per driver. Driver credentials will be issued the morning of the event. At the end of preregistration the day of the event, we will take anything excess from covering track rental/insurance, divide it by the number of entrants and offer to re-imburse all drivers who pre-registered anything we have left over.
Registration at the event will be a fixed fee of $75.
Please when registering include whether or not you will be driving in the Formula Drift Qualifier the day after, and a brief driving resume so we can properly class you in a run group. We will have at least three groups.
Pro Qualifier Practice
Regular Practice
Beginner/School.
Pro Qualifier Practice will be for the Pro level driver who will be fighting to attain a Formula Drift licence the next day at Gulf Greyhound.
Regular Practice will be for the driver who is not competing in that event, but just wants to kill some tires and improve his/her skill, and have fun.
If you are interested in attending the no charge extra school, Mike Peters, Texas's top ranked Drifter and Formula Drift #8 Points Finisher will be acting as Chief Instructor for a special "Beginner" run group, which will include several classroom type drivers meetings throughout the day, and a course walk thru and one on one seat time with every beginner driver. We will also have several other very well qualified instructors coming in and out of the program throughout the day.
to Preregister paypal $75 USD to mikespeed95@gmail.com, and please include desired run group, his/her full name, car, and any crew members you will have with you, as well as the size of your truck and trailer if you are towing the car.
