WHO: Trial By Fire in association with NASA Arizona, Firebird international raceway, AZDrift and Intense Motorsports

Sign up for PIR @ www.nasaaz.com
Reg for FIR up soon.


IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO RUN ALL EVENTS! YOU CAN RUN WHICHEVER ONES YOU CHOOSE TO!

If you have the testicular fortitude to run all 3 events you are attempting to complete THE GAUNTLET. Its basically a tour of awesomeness and we will be handing stuff out to the drivers who do drive in everything.

Friends, I have no idea how we pulled this off. The cooperation NASA and Firebird have shown us is incredible. NEVER has drifting been received with such open arms before and its a testament to how far we have come in the years we have been doing this in Arizona.

Any and all questions are welcome! you can ask in this thread, or email myself or joe. joe@trialbyfire.org, george@trialbyfire.org



Here's what you can expect.


PIR.  150mph straights.  100mph entry into turn 1.  Mostly 3rd gear, 2-3 upshifts, 3-4 upshifts.  FAST.


FIR West.  Another awesome track in AZ.  mostly high 2nd and 3rd gear stuff.  More technical, super fun.

We also get the FIR skidpad.  This gives us some room to stagger drivers and get more run time.


CLIFF NOTES:  2 days, 3 tracks.  fast tracks, good times, shenanigans.

COMPETITION UPDATE!

We are going to be holding a competition on FIR West.

Here is the competition update.  Nothing too crazy but I hope most people will be on the same page as to what to expect.

Advanced:

- Single eliminations. 2 runs per driver. Higher of the 2 runs gets counted.
- Top 8 tandem
- Prizes for 1st through 3rd.

Beginner/intermediate:

- Single Eliminations. 2 runs per driver. Higher of the 2 runs gets counted.
- Top 10
- Top 3
- Prizes for 1st through 3rd

Mantry Award

- The person who does the best entry during a JUDGED competition run gets an extra prize.
- We're looking for someone who will come in faster, more aggressive, and have more angle than anyone else.  You are going to have to do something that will really impress everyone.

Rules:

- 3 or more tires off course will be scored as a ZERO
- Spinning is scored as a ZERO
- Speed, Angle, Line, and Style will be judged.
- Consideration will be given to lower HP, less modified cars.  We are judging the DRIVER not the car.
- Protests will most likely get laughed at unless it's a real concern.  This comp is for your BENEFIT.  You are paying $40 to drift all night and have a chance to get some free shit for driving well.  DONT FUCK IT UP ASSHOLES.
