Depends on your point of view. I don't think the QCMA membership is willing to subsidize drift events for very long. Drift events hosted by QCMA need to pay their own way. A number of options are being considered for QCMA drift events: price structure is one of them. Other options will probably be discussed and voted on by the QCMA membership in the future. Rob | |

| I think it is valuable to understand that if you want something to stick around then you need to support it. Ignoring out of of protest is not going to make anything better, it will just make it disappear. Everything needs to start somewhere. | |

| last year we didnt have enough people to cover costs for atleast 3 events.
they still ran and the drifting events grew.
this year was sooo good up until people couldnt just stand out there and watch and niall kicked corey and evan off the track.
drift events arnt for competing, people go to chill and hang out and thats the atmosphere behind drifting and thats long gone now.
ive had many people tell me thats why they dont show up to autox, because all the old men are "srs business" over there and treat you like you're twelve.
whats going to happen to qcma when all the old folks are gone? not going to have any young people kicking around to carry it on. | |

| Adrian hit the nail on the head.
Drifting events were more than just another track date, those Fridays were anticipated all week long by everyone. Basically it was somewhere for all of us to go, hang out and unwind from long week of work. Hell there were people that aren't even submerged into the car world like most of us out there. Last time I check 18 year old girls aren't willing to give up their Friday night drinking for a whole lot in this world.
Niall was on a huge power trip and the day Evan and I were getting fucking bossed around and told we couldn't be anywhere on the track even with a pit pass, now that is fucking bullshit. I pay the fee, I support the events.
Bring back what we loved about drift events and watch the attendance skyrocket. | |

| So in short its all nialls fault. haha but speaking of niall and being involved in the qcma does he actually race. Ive seen his posts on other forums beaking people as "hard parkers" but ive yet to see him on the track himself, hypocrite. I wish i coulda supported the auto x this year i was actually quite excited to participate with all the mods i had finished to my car alas life had other plans and decided to explode my manifold to bits so definatly no auto x for me this year at least in that car | |

| what the fuck are you talking about cam. Someone stated that Niall never attened a race. I simply added some truth to that statement. He couldn't drift becasue his car wasn't running, and probably becasue he could do over 100 in 1st gear. Sure, he may have had a powertrip, but I don't see how stating he never went out raceing has anything constructive to do. I'm not trying ot defend him becsaue I feel how he handled things last time was wrong.
I also think that people shouldn't feel obligated to go out EVERY drift event to practice. I mean thats $40, plus the tires wear, plus the gas, plus the mechanical wear on their car. Maybe these people had other plans that night? Drift events should feel fun, not like a chore that must be completed. | |

Ryan seemed good at hosting them etc does niall co host the drift events or work for the track or something? | |

| he just hosts the drifting. I do not believe he is affiliated with the track owners in any other way.
One way people need to think about it, The track owners did not want EVERYONE out on the track, because they were not watching, the were conversing. All it would have taken was one mistake, and trouble would have insued. Those are Florence and Rod's exact words. Niall was just enforcing the new rules, how he went about it, might have been uncalled for. But it is a saftey thing | |

| I understand it was a drag car, he told us that. but 100km/h in first gear? That seems a little impractical for what he would use it for. Plus, you would need a shit load of low end torque to do that. That would be like msot cars starting in 3rd gear | |

But it is a saftey thing no, even during autox, they mentioned for insurance purposes there could only be a certain number of people out there. it wouldnt matter fi they were standing by the corners they were drifting or where cars werent even driving. either way, we've established drifting here is not as big as it was, and will probably never get that big again. | |

| so wait a second lemme get this straight
if im part of an affiliated club such as BMW club, Corvette Club, QCMA etc.
i can rent the track for 15$ for 2 hours? by myself or does the whole club need to come.
cause if not hell if i was into drifting id just go rent it for 15 bucks which is like half the price and drift for 2 straight hours without having to wait for everyone and paying all that money to go like twice be it Auto X or drifting | |
