everyone should participate in this.

"So a bunch of us guys who run local events got together and started SO-RAD.
The Society Of Regional American Drifting. To document this move we
started a website.

www.so-rad.com

Obviously
we don't know how to build websites. so we are working on it. If you go
to the forums you get an explanation and a list of the guys
participating in the points chase.


If you have a region
not already covered and you think would like to participate and can
make an east coast final.. please PM me

yay drifting!

What Is SO-RAD?

SO-RAD Stands for the Society Of Regional
American Drifting. SO-RAD came about as a necessity. Lets face it the
US is a really big place. There are tons of grassroots drifting
organizations but nothing tying them all together. Sooner or later you
figure who rips and who doesn’t. But then what? After a driver hits
hometown hero status they have no where to go. No stepping stone in
between Beginner and Professional. They either commit to a National
series that might put them in the poor house or keep driving for fun
locally.

How does SO-RAD work?

SO-RAD is pretty
easy to figure out. Basically you register for your region, normally
you pick the region that is closest to you. You are now Locked into
that region for the remainder of the points race. Each region will
consist of at least 4 track competitions that will be Judged and points
will be awarded based on how you finish on the ladder. The region heads
will keep track of points and post them after every round. If you chose
to drive in another regions event, you can compete and even win.
However you do not accrue any points from the other region. The points
awarded from the other region do not get added to your overall points.
They just disappear. Meaning the drivers from your rival region can not
accrue them either.

After the mandatory four SO-RAD Points
Events, The top five Drivers will be invited to the SO-RAD final for a
top 32 Battle. But wait, the fun doesn’t end there. There will also be
a Region Team Drift Event that will pit region against region for all
the bragging rights. You may only drive with your regions team to make
it even better the teams will only be three of the five drivers. Chosen
by the team, amongst themselves.

So now what ?

This
series is low stress and low impact. Information, rules, changes etc
will be coming out as we get closer to the events. Contact your region
head for local info and keep checking up for more information about the
SO-RAD FINAL! Location and Dates will be posted once the ink dries!

See you at the track!

<3 SO-RAD!
