Not true. Two people I talked to after the event (one was his first time, the other has attended several) were displeased on how some of the drivers were behaving and how this event had little direction in comparison to others in the past. If this event was run on the regular (short course) I don’t think it would have been as smooth with this many vehicles.

Driftwater promotes cheap and fun seat time on a technical course for both grip and drift drivers, which it delivers.

Then here is the problem. Let’s solve this by clarifying what happens when a faster car is behind you instead of driving close and/or reckless.

They are called blinkers.

Id hate to see someone get hurt because they hit some of the rocks on the track and lost control of their car and flipped.
Anything can happen on a track is all im saying.
I couldn’t agree more. But I think there is a difference between having a ball joint break because you don’t maintain your vehicle/wear and tear vs. someone slamming into the back of you because they couldn’t stop at a corner. No?

No one is upset, I’m just cautious at how these events evolve. I have also attended many Driftwaters and always leave satisfied, just looking to keep it that way.
These comments are not* all directed at you but others that think Driftwater is a complete, do-whatever-no-one-cares-event. I love seeing yours and other miatas fly around the track and hope to for many events to come thanks to Dan’s and Nick’s hard work.
Your skills and abilities as a driver may be ahead of others. I don’t want someone inexperienced to hit me because they saw you follow or pass on a turn without knowing the full story.
