Got this through the autox list. I don't know anything more about it than what is posted here, but thought there might be some folks who are interested. On that note, saw a thread about trying to start drifting at Boeing. Autox and carts just lost the site so don't count on that as an option. Here the info on the drift school:

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be holding a novice drift school at the south end of BMP the same day as the SCCA autocross novice school.

hmmm wow ... if .. you need to go to school to learn how to drift, you shouldn't have a drivers licence.. It's cool that they are giving people a place to learn it slowly if they don't want to go to a track day though.. Should help keep drifting off the streets too. I give it a thumbs up!

 

yeah i know a few guys on hachi roku. net that are doing this. i hear its vary limited so you have to register asap

 

I'm still trying to learn how to drive the car without all four wheels sliding sideways.

 

sounds like it would be fun, any word on the amount of rubber one should plan on going threw at this event? will there be tire mounting/balancing avalable at the track?

 

Totally fun. I actually got tired of driving after a while, went through half a tank of gas, and probably 25% of my tires. GREAT Instructors, some rain at the end made it fun to watch. My instructor totally rocked the course in my car, not once but twice, just to prove it could be done.
You guys missed out!! Thanks Russel and volunteers.

 

any pics

 

haha that sounds fun.

 

Here is a link to a photo bucket deal. Pictures are from one of the spectactors, linked from the northwest nissan forum. The drifters are also good at taking pics, lots of them had expensive cameras. It was a blast.!
