Drift Series

[Cronic D]

lol ol phil aye nice idea tho teddy, was just wondering if u needed a 4th venue i could suss smething out in rewa just need dates. oh only if u guys arent scared to come out to lil ol manurewa for a drift ( wink wink CDZ lol ). if we do il definately make sure none of ur shoes or undies get stolen

Bro dont scare people off from Rewa then maybe after the Drift in Rewa we can head to the cossie club for cheap Feed & beers,

Yeah good going Ted at the end of the day this really just needs someone to get the ball rolling Im good either way as long as Im not the one organising it all mainly beacause Im pretty busy outside of RC Drifting but hey come to me with a plan of what you guys come up with and Im sure we could all agree on something. Also I would rather not incorporate it into the summer jams sunday sessions that Ive got going at the mo because Ive basically already sussed a format for it that works, and for a full series a different format will have to be conceptulised.

I agree with Phil as to aiming the big prizes at Rookies rather than the usuals as it gives them a whole lot more incentive to stay in the sport / hobby where as in the Pro Class most of us are here to stay anyway and we aint goin away anytime soon so if thiers more incentives for the Noobs it will help us build up our RC Drift Family, Im not saying cut the prizes out for Pros completely maybe if the bigger prizes went to the Noobs like a kit or something and the Pros won a body.

I dont really agree on Money as a prize, Basically if you can get a plan together and solid with dates Timetables for race days, Venues etc, Optional rain dates for outside meets, we could sort it out as a proposal and approach people such as Briggans who do Tamiya or any other RC related companies for sponsorship of prizes or even if the prizes are subsidised it will help also if we are going to run Driftechs as a control tyre then it would pay to approach Briggans.

Also putting tyres in the registraion fee I reckon is a good thing , the registration fee could also be put towards trophies & prizes, a price of about 60bucks each for registration and that could include a set of Tires Window Banners , Number stickers etc, and 15 or 20 bucks on the race days, the 15 could go to the indoor venues and the extra 5 bucks could go into a kitty that would be saved up for the last event where we could put it towards a mass BBQ and beers at prize giving. Does sound a little bit pricey but how many of us have walked outa speedi with a 200dollar bag of emptiness.

Also I know some of you guys have Signwriter mates, see if you guys could have a yarn to them about the stickers etc once we come up with a name of course... Free stuff is the best stuff , but subsidised cheap stuff is better than nothing

So guys once we have a solid plan we can write letters / emails to Rc companies to "sponser" the series but they need to see some solid ground work or we wont be taken seriously...

Keen to help where ever I can Ted just let me know bro.

Guys just my 50cents for now will let you know of anymore thoughts when they come to me. Better get back to the day job.

Also Bufton dont worry about being a Noob mate you'd be suprised how many noobs turn up to these things the last rookie class we had at CDZ was a full field of 8 with 3 people spare, having to be taken out in qualifying the more the merrier bro

Hmmm constructive?? Dude I dont know how this series is going to go but at the CDZ Sumer Jams weve been holding, basically everyone does qualifying rounds and the top 8 qualifiers go through to pro and the bottom 8 go through to rookie... Which does run the risk of people deliberately screwing up thier qualifying rounds to get into the rookie class so but you would have to be abit of a tosser to do something like that.... As for the series I imagine everyone would just state what class they wanted to be in on Registration if your confident enough then youd go Pro if not rookie.

Heaps of feedback....blooody awesome just going through dates can Phil or Jordan get back to me with your guys indoor dates?? Looked on your guys website but cant find any, I see you have a new venue so thats probably got something to do with it.
Planing on running the first event hopefully March the 7th at Albany just need to talk to the guys at North Habour first, seems to be the only date that I cant see clashing with the clubs schedule and Summer Jams at CDZ. Thanks Werz for the option we will see how we go about Albany first.
See ModelMark commented on the 23Turn motor limit and Drifttechs will definately be running drifttechs but maybe to be eligible for rookie you have to have a 23Turn motor.
Would probably only have the set of drifttechs included in the inital series registration, if you add 25 bucks per round might put off the young roosters we're trying to attract to the comps??
And no wont be including money as the prizes will put that back into buying hopefully more sponsered prizes, keep the coments and suggestions comming is good to hear from the potential competitors

[Cronic D]

How is 15 or 20 bucks a round going to put off the young roosters especially when youve got the chance to win prizes worth alot more than thatI know some 12 year olds who spend that on thier lunch and the days at CDZ and Dspec will be 15 bucks anyway I just thought that at 20 bucks a round that extra 5 could go in the kitty for the end of the year bash Prizes bbq drinks etc etc, And if you get the dates all sorted it wont be hard for people to put the money aside or start saving especially if they are serious about competing.

[bigted]

If you add 20 to 25 bucks per round for drifttechs on top of the entry fee for the competition was what I was trying to say Brenton. I think to keep the costs down for the younger people is a better idea??
If we ran the comps the first weekend of each month it would make the second round on Easter Weekend, is that a problem or would you guys prefer another weekend??
