More Redline Event info + signups are CLOSED.

Signups for the RC DriftClub Drift/Time Attack Challenge are closed.

…here’s more info on this weekend’s event proceedings:

The Drift and Time Attack track/pit area is located right in the MIDDLE of the raceway! We are located in between the vendor’s area and the car show area. Like dead center. Like right there. LOL

The track surface will be asphalt. Weather predicts a tad hot, so traction will be good.

We have our own pit paddock, including AC power and ample space for EZups and tables.

Keep tabs on THIS THREAD for more info coming soon, including qualifying group order, and any other surprises we have in store. When RC DriftClub told you this was the event of the summer, we weren’t kidding!
