KMS Driver Appreciation Day, AMS May 13th

[quickdodge®]

I asked them on facebook and this is the reply i got:

"It states "FREE Drifting, Car Show, Car Meet and SPL Sound Off" The event fee to enter into the gates is $20.00/$15(w/flyer). Once inside there are no additional fee's with the exception of ride-a-longs. Msg me if you have any other questions regarding the event, We understand not many events have ever been ran like this if not any so there is bound to be some confusion."

Sooo im guessing everybody pays the $20 at the door.

That ad is very misleading, then. They should not put "FREE" at the top like that. Later, QD.

All that is going to do is get a bunch of crappy DD's entered in the car show, as it is the same price to drive in, as opposed to walking in through the gates. Instead of 60 good drifters, half of them will be kids trying it for the first time in their FWD. Cars with stock stereos with a couple of 10's will be competing in the soundoff.
All this does is trade quality for quantity. Anyone that has held car shows before, or has even been to them over 10 years already knows this.

They clearly haven't been around in the scene long if they believe, "We understand not many events have ever been ran like this...". NOPI was run at AMS this same way for years - It cost at NOPI about the same to drive in a DD with 2 people, as to park outside, and buy tickets for 2 people. People would "enter" their stock cars all the time to be able to bring in their own coolers/beer. I know someone who got 2nd place there with a stock car, and 3rd with a stock stock - neither of which were show vehicles, and were just to bring in drinks. This is even worse planning - at least you needed 2 people per car at NOPI for it to be worth it. This even t makes it look like everyoen should just drive in - there is no reason to park outside for even a single person.

That ad is very misleading, then. They should not put "FREE" at the top like that. Later, QD.

I completely agree with the both of you. I think it should have been free general admission then had people pay to play. There will probably be a lot of stock cars, including mine if i end up going, in the middle of the track.
