***This is no longer an SXOC drift day, but a Driftland open day, do not pay money to SXOC***
The 1st ever SXOC @ Driftland day will be held on Sunday the 15th March
Most drifters in Scotland im sure will have visited Driftland already, but just incase the postcode is KY5 9HG
The bonus of Driftland is its literally 2 mins off the A92 which is a Dual carriageway that comes right off the M90, so almost the entire journey can be done on decent roads.
For those living in a cave for the past couple of years who only know Crail, then i would explain Driftland as a smaller track than crail definitely, but with a far better surface, which actually stays consistent all the way round.
The course is tighter too, so your going to have to work harder to keep the momentum up and the car on the track, which means that when you do, its much more rewarding
It means that lazy drifters like me actually have to put in a shift
The format for this day is a minimum of 20 drivers paying £36.50 as a member of SXOC or £46.50 as a non member.
This pays for 1 driver and 1 other for pit crew etc, these 2 must arrive together for the pit crew to get free entry.
We need this minimum of 20 for the day to go ahead, and at this number, SXOC still makes a loss, but an acceptable one, and we need that 20 in the next two weeks, so we must be at 20 drivers by the 23rd Feb.
This will give us run time of 11am till 3pm.
If we get to 25 drivers, then the track time will be upped and we will run from 11am to 4:30pm
The day will start open pit, and i plan to keep it that way, the only way that will change through the day is if we notice that the waiting times are getting larger because of people being selfish...... i honestly dont see this as being a problem, but Jeek has warned this has happened in the past.
I think on the day if its noticed it may just be a case of waving a flag to individuals (not the whole track) to come off, to let others on, but basically im just trying to be as transparent as possible here.
I want to stay open pit, i plan to stay open pit, but ill not guarantee it because this is the first day we have ran here.
Im hoping for 25 drivers, and will definitely cap it in the unlikely event that we get to 30 drivers.
SXOC days have always been known for excellent time on track, and i DO NOT want that to change.
This will be our first day at Driftland, but if all goes to plan ill be looking to arrange another 2-3 days this year, and 3-4 a year in the future.
If we find that in actual fact 25 drivers is too much, then id look to increase the price and reduce the drivers in future days.
Im well aware that the cost of the venue is only part of the cost to a drifter, and i would rather pay a bit more to make sure i get max track time, however driftland has been running days with over 60 drivers at times, so i would think that with an absolute max of half of that, we should be set for a great day of massive track time and little to no wait time.
Payment window is open to all right away because i want the day to go ahead, and we only have 2 weeks to fill it.
The list below shows who has paid, your name will not appear here until i have confirmed the PayPal payment has arrived.
If you have paid, but your name does not appear after a few days either post on this thread or pm me.

There will be NO PAYING ON THE DAY,
Turn up on the day and you will be turned away
Membership costs £20, so basic maths tells you if your planning on attending 2 or more of the days we plan to arrange each year, its beneficial and cost effective to be a member, never mind the many other benefits of membership
There will be no list of "I want to go" cos its bollox, the only thing that secures your space is the money in SXOC's PayPal account, details of which are below.
If for whatever reason you have to pull out of this after you have paid, it will be up to you to sell your place, no-one else, SXOC will help where it can, but please remember it is your responsibility.
Helmets are compulsory.
Roll cages and fire extinguishers are strongly recommended, but not compulsory
Roll bars are compulsary for Soft tops
DO NOT BRING ALCOHOL OR DRUGS TO THIS DAY, this is a motor sport day, not a piss up, if you or your spectators bring alcohol or drugs to this day, you will be banned from future days. You invite them along, you are responsible for them.
***********PLEASE NOTE CHANGES TO PAYING AND AMOUNT**********
Basically the club got its arse kicked by paypal for everything going through from these days as a gift, so we have to pay the fee now
To pay:-
payment to be made through paypal as usual and as the picture below:-
DO NOT SEND AS A GIFT!
So its to be sent to events@sxoc.com, under the Purchase tab as a service, and as a Member you will be sending £36.50, and as a Non-member you will be sending £46.50.
Onto the next tab and it will be as below, except the Location and date obviously
So in the subject box "SXOC March Driftland Day, Username (whatever your SXOC Username is)"
In the message box "SXOC Driftland Day 15th March 2015"
Please try to fill it in right, it makes it much easier to sort payments
I will update this post with those who have paid every few days.
Tyre changing facilities on site.
Changes £5 a tyre and £2 disposal
Tyres £5 each
So if you want two rears bought, swapped and disposed, your looking at £24
Spectators and passengers
Spectator price for non-members = £10
Spectator price for member = Free
Passenger lap price for non-members = £5
Passenger price for members = Free
Passengers mst also wear a helmet, so make sure you all bring a skid lid!
Food
I will not be bringing the bbq up to Driftland, honestly ive been hauling it about for about 7 or 8 years, and for me the novelty has worn off.
However Jeek does have on site catering that does regular burger van stuff.
I know that members who are used to turning up to SXOC days are used to getting a little food and drink, so if your turning up as an SXOC member then not only do you get free entry, not only do you get free passenger rides, you also get a free lunch.
I need to finalise details with Jeek about this, but it will likely be a case of the rep will hand out either tokens or bands to members which will be handed over to the catering staff on site, this will entitle you to a drink and a bit of grub, so maybe like a poke of chips and a can of irn bru, or a burger and a can of diet coke.
So if your a non-driving Member, you can basically make up your membership fee in one visit to Driftland.
Cant say much fairer than that.
To qualify for all of these, you MUST produce your CURRENT membership card, both to the gate for the free entry, sign on for free passengers, and to your rep for the free food.
To be able to dive on this day you must bring your driving license
SO get signing up for the day and get joining up to the club
