Might go out for a look. Are you allowed in the pits etc? Is it free to enter?

Indeed. :D If you come out on Sunday I'll most likely take it for a spin. Look for a dark blue A4 with 19\" bling rims. 8) Will be parked close to pit lane.

Do they have any food wagons out there for these events :?:

I'm coming out as a spectator on Sunday, so you'll have to take me for a spin in the A4. :D :D :D

Had fish and chips from one of em last weekend at the drift meet.... the food was as bad as the entertainment.

Anyone else think drifting is a pointless form of motorsport?

There's no such thing as a pointless form of motorsport. Anything you can do in a car that's legal is good :mrgreen:

Just discovered this thread. Thanks for posting it up.
I would love to make it out tomorrow to QR and meet up with you all for the first time but my girlfriend is in town this weekend which basically means I gotta spend time with her. It's a pity too because she doesn't like any kind of motorsport. Anyhow, have fun tomorrow guys. I guess we just gotta meet up another day.
