Welcome Friends!!! Its time for Gymkhana racing in Texas!!! :D

For those that don't know, Gymkhana is the Japanese version of autocross, in which drifting is allowed and your main goal is efficient technical driving and car control, to allow you to navigate through the course in the quickest time possible.

Tech inspection starts at 9:00am, drivers meeting will start at around 9:45am. Please be there early enough for the driver's meeting if you intend to drive the event.

Runs will continue throughout the day, probably until shortly before sunset, or until everyone is tired and no drivers wish to make any more runs for the day, whichever comes first.

All runs will be timed, but only your fastest run will count.

This course will be huge by gymkhana standards taking an avg of 2 minutes to complete.

The course will include auto barrel racing, reverse section, 180's, and a stop box.

There will be a tech inspection of each car before it is allowed to go on the track, which will include a quick lookover of the car and safety equipment (ie helmet, seat belts, ect.. )

The inspection will also include a J turn. We need to see that your cars suspension is up to the task of keeping you from rolling over so a quick 15 mph j turn will give us a chance to make sure everyone will be safe and have a fun day..

Tech will be strictly enforced to weed out high CG vehicles. Those vehicles that fail tech due to high CG will be allowed to run but will not be allowed to use the reverse section.

Prices for the event are as follows:

Drivers entrance fee - $40

Pit access (if you are not driving but are with a crew or want to hang out in the pits with the drivers) - $5

General spectators area - Free!!!

The top 3 finishers will recieve half price admission to the next Cloudfactory sponsored Mineral Wells event, and we aim to make these a regular thing.

The #1 finisher will recieve free admission to the next event.

The track will be located at Mineral Wells Airport.. In the back on the old tarmac...

Oh also I forgot to mention, this is a grassroots style event, so bring your own folding chars and coolers of liquid refreshment, and sunscreen, and if you bring a helmet and you pay at least the $5 pit access, you'll probably have a number of drivers who would be willing to take you on some ride-alongs. :) Helmet and seatbelts are the required safety equipment for this event.

I also just found out several DFW area shops will be attending and setting up tents out there as well, and this event is posted up on a lot of local forums, so its a good opportunity to meet people and make friends in the DFW tuning scene. This is going to be a big event, don't miss it!!! :D

This event is only one week away now guys! Get ready! Also, to make things more interesting, in addition to the $40 drivers class, there will now be a new completely optional higher stakes competition class available for those interested... the entrance fee for this class will be $75 and the grand prize is much better...

Winner of the new $75 competition class will receive a New Comp Turbo ordered to there specs in journal bearing up to specs of a 35R, meaning you want a GT28RS, GT2871, 30R,35R, you can get the journal bearing equivilent, you can also have one made to your specs, or the winner can pay the difference and get it upgraded to a triple ball bearing center section.
