I posted the last thread because I've been a little disappointed with the state of drifting here in Florida so I needed to vent. However, I want to show all of you that I'm not just talking without taking any action. Today I sat down with Homestead and Fara and had a long talk about where we are going with this venue and what we can do to better things. I don't want to get into details, but there was a lot of positives and negatives. I got a lot of really good feedback from both groups and they are willing to help us grow as long as we show them interest and professionalism. Because of this, I'm going to implement some new rules and regulations for the FARA demos. Along with those rules however, I will be adding incentives for ProAm drifters to want to participate and be professional.
1) ProAm drivers that meet requirements for Homestead will pay a $100 registration fee to secure their spot by set deadline or they will not participate on the demo. This $100 will be refunded after the completion of the demo. If the driver does not attend or does not show, there will be a $50 cancelation fee that will go towards future competitions. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Basically, show up on time and ready to go.
2) FARA will provide Tech Sheets for drivers (Which is an incentive if you are interested in participating in the Mishimoto sponsorships) This means that tech will be a little stricter, but it will mostly be a guideline to ensure that vehicles meet all safety requirements and to help you improve both car and presentation.
Basically you get your Tech Sheet for the Mishimoto sponsorship and you get an idea of what tech at real events will be like. No more McDonalds cups in the back and zipties holding shit together or cracked windshields. You wouldn't show up to an interview looking like crap and expect to get a job, so don't do it at the track.
3) Media will be limited to six passes and will be required to register before deadline. Media members will be expected to provide a 5-10 picture portfolio by event deadline and will enter an agreement to present a minimum of 30 usable pictures of the event within 1 week of event date.
Basically, If you get a media pass, you are expected to act as a member of the media. Usable pictures does not include hot girl pictures, but they might be considered by a special panel.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know, also, in the other thread, I'm going to explain a couple of incentives that will make this changes worth it for everyone. Thank you and please voice your thoughts.
