Regular Monthly Meetings are always held on the first Saturday of the month as per club calendar.
However for those who have the drift savvy on Sunday just show up. It's from 9am to 6pm. http://www.driftcircuit.org/

if anyone got to drift circuit then im sure you saw the mayhem. sigh 5 crashes all in all. 2 serious and 3 minor. the two serious ones involved an FD. plopped onto of a curb and almost rolled over. second was a devistating one. Megan Racing brought out a 350z and s14. the 350z understeered into a curb and smacked a tree at 60+mph. the passenger was a teenager who chose not to wear the racing harness. he ended up getting hauled away on a stretcher. last i heard he was in shock. i doubt qualcomm is going to allow any more drift events anytime soon. besides that it was a good event

Where did the FD crash? I saw the 350Z crash, pretty nasty. If it was the same guy that had been driving the car for most of the day, I have to wonder if maybe the car was a bit too much for his skill level. Still, the way that course was designed with the starting straight running that close to the wall, crashes were bound to happen. I also saw a 240 spin out and go rear-end up the dirt in front of that wall earlier.

I hope this doesn't kill drifting at the Q completely. I think they need to be a lot more stringent about course design, but they shouldn't let that kill off the event altogether. Hopefully it'll turn out okay in the long run. I know that the autocross course has had a handful of freak accidents, and has had it's future in doubt on a couple occasions, but it's still going strong. I hope it'll be the same for drifting.
