C) Arriving on site the day of the event.

There will be a gate at the entrance to the airport. People attending this event will fall into one of the following categories:

1) Spectators. All spectators will park in the College parking lot just past the airport entrance. There will be a shuttle service from the parking lot to the entry gate. There spectators will pay their entry fees and proceed into the Airport property. Spectators are allowed in the car show, vendor and viewing areas. Spectators are not allowed in the pits or the hot track areas.

2) Car Show. Car show vehicles will be allowed to park in the front driveway area and to the left of the terminal in designated areas. Canopies may be placed behind the show cars in the grassy areas.

3) Vendors. Vendors will have assigned spaces.

4) Drag Race. Drivers will sign up at the front gate for this event. They will stage in the designated area and be escorted to the drag race area of the track at 10:45. Drivers participating in the Drift / Gymkhana may drag race ( if entered) when their run group in not on track.

5) Drift / Gymkhana Drivers and crew. Upon arrival at the entry gate ID will be checked for verification of participation. Your names and the names of your crew members (Already Submitted on Motorsportsreg.com during the registration process) will be on a list at the gate. You are allowed 2 crew members. Any last minute crew additions must purchase a Credential ( same price as general admission but with pit access) at the gate. People already on the list will proceed to the pit area check in and to pick up their pit credentials and tech sheets. PLEASE have your ID ready. This area is under the control of the TSA as this is an active airport. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) protects the nation's transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. This will be a closed pit event, no access to the general public.
Upon arrival in the pit area, choose a pit location and unload your vehicle. Due to limited space we may require you to park your support vehicles in a designated (Secure and close by) area.
After unloading please proceed to the tech inspection area. Bring your helmet and tech sheet.
After successfully completing tech you will be placed in a run group. You will have Four choices of run group type:
A) Novice run group
B) Advanced Singles run group
C) Tandem run group ( Cages required )
D) Gymkhana
Some will have a drift ( A, B or C) and gymkhana run group or gymkhana only.
The Drivers meeting will be held at 9:30 SHARP!!!! Miss it and you do not drive!
At the Drivers Meeting if you have questions please ask. There will be a course walk thru.

A lot of planning has gone into this event. Activities are planned for your entertainment throughout the day. Pay attention to the PA system for announcements of run groups and activities. Please enjoy yourself. Most of the drivers on the list have been to many events. If you are new to this please feel free to ask questions. If this is your FOERST drift event observe the advanced drivers and get a ride along to get the feel of where to be on the track.
There will be concrete barriers between the track and the spectator area. Hit the wall and you are done for the day. On the track (runway / taxiway areas) one tire off is acceptable. 2 tires off is not. All 4 off will get you a warning. repeated 4 wheeling will get you entered into the car show, (PARKED). Drive within your and your car's limits and abilities and you will be OK. Taxiway lights are very expensive.
This is a fund raising event for the city of Thomson and McDuffie county. If they do well we may have more events at this location.

"muffled adequately as per the requirements of the venue"


what is the requirements of this venue??????

I don't believe there are any, it's an airport.
















If your going to fly off the end of the runway, noise abatement procedures must be followed. lol

Howard I saw on 240atl where someone had asked if pit bikes or golf carts were allowed and you said no. But if people with trailers are having to park in the back lot and need to get something from their trailer they're gonna have a bit of a walk to get whatever it is and walk all the way back. Plus it's suppose to be 98 degrees that day according to weather.com.

is the pit area really so small that you think you'd have to have support vehicles parked else where? I hate when they do it like that at metrolina.

Yea if we're gonna park 40 cars and possible trailers in the front spot we're gonna run out of room real quick. There is another parking spot thats past the hangers.

We're not allowed to park cars, trailers or anything between the hangers per the main Airport Official dude. Apparently there's a company that has some big ass plane that just barely clears the hangers when it leaves. And they are on call 24/7 and if they get a call we have to clear the track so they can get out. And if we have a bunch of cars and stuff sitting between the hangers... you get the point.

But there's another spot on the other side of the hangers that was discussed to park the trailers. I'm just planning on parking everything back there so I can be with my tools if I need them. I don't like the idea of unloading the Datsun and all my tools and crap and leave it one place and have to go park my truck and trailer somewhere else. I like to keep all my crap together. Less stuff to reload at the end of the day and less stuff to have to worry about walking away while I'm not around.

Im with you. I don't have a support vehicle but I'd rather pit in the extra lot where my truck was rather then be separated from it like they do at metrolina. and am I wrong or is the 50+ drift drivers now? not worried about seat time, just curious.

can't wait!

devil's advocate:
Walk, pussy.

devil's advocate light:
Bring a bicycle.

I think some of the drivers are for gymkana.

What I'm trying to do is park the guys with rigs at the Dirt / Pavement line (Rigs on the dirt, Car on the hard surface). Guys that just drive in will park on the front area. The walk to the parking area from the pit is not that big. 200 to 300' at the most.
I'm not a fan of separate parking and pit areas either. Not my Idea.

Golf carts may be OK, Def no pit bikes. I have never seen one doing the pit speed of 5 mph yet.

Buy a moped.

If I'm reading that correctly, if I show up and buy a spectator pass, I'm not going to be able to hang in the pits with everyone. Is that correct? I'm only really going for the hang time.

I'll add you at the gate wes if you still need a pass. but in return I expect shirtless overalls.
