So everyone come out and celebrate the Club Loose II Season Opener. Come out to drift or just to hang out and watch some rad drivers. Either way, it will be an awesome day.

The cold and rain on March 31, couldn’t stop 57 drivers and over 250 spectators from coming to Englishtown and helping us kick off our 10th season. It was a great way to start the 2012 season. A record number of drivers had their cars finished in time for the first event. A lot of fans were braving the weather and huddling up together against the fence to watch their favorite drivers rip on track. Overall, it was a pretty good day. I’ll let the pictures and videos really tell that story.

Check out this sweet video from Club Loose’s own Kevin Johnsrud.

Gates open at 5pm. It’s $40 to drive and $15 to spectate. You pay at the gate. As always, car must pass tech, so read over the rules and make sure that won’t be a problem. We will drift as soon as the first group is ready until 10pm.

We will also be having a mini-clinic during the day. This will be open to the first 5 drivers that paypal $125 to clubloose@gmail.com. The clinic will start at 9am and will include a bunch of seat time, personal instruction and you will also get to drive Night Moves. It usually fills up fast, so if you want to participate, register soon.

Night Moves and the clinic are both great times to shake down the car before Spring Moves on the 28th.

Drifting is fun.  If you aren’t having fun, you are doing it wrong.  Now stay tuned for the video demonstration.

In honor of Club Loose’s 10^th season of drifting, we are giving away 10 free drift events for 2012.  But here’s the catch, we need to hit 5,000 likes on our Facebook page before this will happen.  The top 10 referrers when we hit 5,000 will win one day each.

So it’s really easy to make this happen.  If you’re already a fan of Club Loose, you just need to share this and get your friends and family and even your weird “Facebook” friends.  After you are a fan, go to the poll and vote for the person that referred you.  If they aren’t already on the list, then write them in.  This is the only way that they will get credit.  If a bunch of your friends shared this with you, then just pick the one you like the best.

Top 10 dudes on the official Poll on our Facebook page will get a free day of drifting.  If there’s a tie or something for the 10th spot, there will be a trivia question or something to keep it limited to 10.

As an added bonus, for every 500 new likes on the page, we will pick 2 people at random to get some Club Loose swag.  We’ve got ECB Posters, a few shirts and maybe even some vinyl left over.  So as the likes grow, we will be picking winners for this stuff too.

So get out there and share this shit.  This is your chance to get on track just for hanging out on Facebook.

Love,  Club Loose

October 1st is also the day that Gardella, Bergenholtz and Rado are doing their FWD Drag Race Grudge Match also at Etown. And since Gardella and Bergenholtz are now involved in drifting we thought what better than to have an event and then go over and after we are done go and watch them go really fast on the drag strip.

Gardella will be bringing out some of the drift cars so Tuerck and Eric O’Sullivan can play on the road course with everyone else.

Anyway, here are the details.
$160 to drive, paypal to clubloose@gmail.com.
$15 to spectate. The tickets will get you over to the drag side after the drifting to watch the grudge match go down.

Gates open at 9.
Tech starts right away.
Driver’s meeting at 10.
Drifting right after.
We are done at 6.
Then it’s time to head over to the strip and watch the action.

Registration is open now and will be closed Monday, September 26th at midnight.

So throw your cars together one last time before winter. This is our last event of the season. Let’s end this year an awesome way.

Follow the thread on the forum here:
Finishing Moves!

Gates open at 9 on Saturday. We have a lot of drivers so we might try and open them a little early. So if you are there early make sure to get in a line so we can get you through quick. Also leave a lane for track people to use so they don’t have to fight through you to get to the gate and be able to let you in.

There is no camping inside the gate on Friday night. So don’t show up and try and sneak in early or give us some sob story about needing to set up or something. There is plenty of time on Saturday for everything.

Due to the amount drivers coming and the space we have, only drift cars are allowed in the pit area unless the car is on a trailer. So if you are not trailering your car, try and fit as much in it as possible. Support vehicles will not be allowed in at the gate, even to just drop thing off because people never bring them back out.

Show up with tires mounted and ready to run. We want to get started as early as possible and don’t want a line at the tire machine before cars even go on track.

For after the event, we are going to party but I don’t want anyone being a dickhead. At ecb someone was throwing bottles and if I found them I would murder them. If you see anyone doing shit like that or something destructive to someone else’s shit, I expect you to stop them. Thankfully we haven’t had any major incidents, but if something did happen it could have a lot of bad implications for club loose and the fun we have at these events. So keep that in mind.

Other than that, bring your friends and let’s have some fun.

See everyone on Saturday.

First up, JR hooked us up with Monster Energy Drink and they will be throwing down some money to the winner of the Monster Entry Challenge and the winner of the Closest to the Table Game. Each winner will be getting $200 hand delivered by JR courtesy of Monster.

Monster will also be at the track hanging out and offering samples of the latest flavors that they have come up with. So stop by, high 5 JR and grab a drink.

Next we’ve got a Universal Hydraulic E-brake from ASD. This piece from ASD is really nice, uses a Wilwood master cylinder, CNC’d handle, it looks sweet and works sweeter. It will definitely help whoever wins it lock up those rear tires whenever they need them to.

Also, Kenda gave us a pair of tires to give away. If you win, you will get a sweet certificate and you’ll get to pick the size you want. So you’ll have a nice new pair of tires for the next time out to the track.

Finally, FUELEDmag and Import2Race will be covering the event and adding $300 to the prize money for the Hold the Line competition.

So please remember to show your appreciation to these guys for helping us out. It is really great to see them getting involved to help out our drivers.

The 3rd Round of Hold The Line will be held during Freedom Moves on Sunday September 11th.

Price to drive both days of Freedom Moves and compete in HTL is $315.
Price to drive just Sunday and compete in HTL is $212.
Paypal is clubloose@gmail.com like always.

I know its a little more money than payouts but we added something really cool for this round of HTL…PAYOUTS! We are paying out for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. 1st gets 62.5%, 2nd gets 25% and third gets 12.5%. The total payout amount is based on the number of drivers. Each driver adds $25 to the pot. So more drivers means a bigger payout.

For example, with 16 drivers, that’s $400 split between the top 3.
1st gets $250.
2nd gets $100.
3rd gets $50

All A group stuff is required for HTL since it’s a competition. Cages, suits, etc. We’ll probably run on the back course again, since that went well and was fun. There will be a little practice, then quick qualifying, then the competition and then back to fun.

Driving on Saturday and having a lot of fun and partying with everyone Saturday night will only help your qualifying score. We are thinking of doing a hungover factor multiplier.

www.htldrift.com for more information on Hold the Line.

Freedom Moves is coming quick. Freedom Moves will be on September 10th and 11th at Englishtown on the road course. It will be 2 days of drifting, partying, shanty town living and all other assorted kinds of fun. Saturday night we will be driving under the lights until 10PM and then partying at Sneaky Pete’s, the E-town trackside bar, until 2AM.

The details:
Saturday, September 10, 2011
Gates open at 9AM
Tech starts at 9AM
Driver’s meeting at 10AM
Drifting starts right after and last until 10PM. That’s 12 hours of drifting.

Sunday, September 11, 2011
Gates open at 9AM
Tech for people only driving Sunday will be open at 9AM
Driver’s meeting at 10AM
Drifting starts right after the driver’s meeting and ends at 6PM.
In reality, this timeline will be pushed back a little depending on how awesome the party is the night before.

Registration is now open. It will be open until Labor Day, Monday, September 5 at midnight. No late payments without a really good story. If you’re story isn’t that good, we will post it on facebook as a poll and Club Loose’s facebook fans will decide your fate.

$265 to drive 2 days.
$160 to drive 1 day, either Saturday or Sunday, just make sure to put which day in the notes on the paypal payment.
Paypal to clubloose@gmail.com

I’m sure you guys have noticed that the prices have gone up a couple dollars. This is because the tire machine, that you guys all use for FREE, is getting really beat up. Whether it’s just the shear amount of use or people not knowing what they’re doing or whatever is happening, it has already been repaired once this year. So we are adding a couple extra dollars to each registration to set aside so when it breaks, we can afford to fix it or, for the worst case, we can buy another one. It’s either a couple more dollars each event or $5 per tire to change them at the track, we figured this was a better idea.

So get your cars together, send in your money and get ready to 2 awesome days of drifting, partying and just having a good time. We have a couple things in the works to make things more fun for you. And depending on how quickly people register, we might be able to put some more fun stuff together. So don’t be lazy and wait until the last minute to pay.

See you guys soon.

Hot Moves and HTL Drift Pro Am
July 16, 2011

July 16th is Club Loose’s first HTL Pro Am competition. It will also be a normal event open to B and C group dudes and any A group dudes who do not want to compete. We will have everything going on at the same time so anyone not competing will still get tons of seat time.

I hope to see a lot of dudes out for this.

Anyway, the details are below.

Gates open at 9AM.
Driver’s meeting at 10AM.
Track goes hot at 10:30AM.
Drifting is done at 6PM.

Open to all groups.
For B/C group and any A group dudes not competing in HTL price is $156 to drive.
For any dudes competing in HTL price is $182 to compete.
Paypal is clubloose@gmail.com for both.
Registration is open from now until the 11:59PM on 7/14/11.

Driver’s meeting is MANDATORY. No exceptions. You will not be allowed on track if you aren’t there. It will be at 10AM on the bleachers.

Come with tires mounted. Tire machine will not last all week if people show up with nothing mounted. And you will miss track time which is dumb. Tire machine probably won’t even be set up until mid afternoon, so if you show up with nothing, you’re screwed.

Pack as much shit in your car as you can. Unless your car is on a trailer, no trucks/cars/anything will be allowed in the gates. There’s just no room. So pack it tight before you come up to check in. We will make you pack your car outside the gate. Sorry but with this many people we have no choice.

I think that’s it. Let’s Party!

We didn’t want to do this but you guys talked us into it. DON’T LET US DOWN! ECB 2011 Posters printed on the SAME high quality 14PT card stock as last year are available for INTERNET PRE SALE at the discounted price of $10 each. This presale will save you $5 American Dollars on the super sick Jeff Turner design. They will be available for pick up all day SAT/SUN at ECB2011. Paypal is clubloose@gmail.com Please add “ECBPOSTER” in the subject so we don’t have to spend all day Friday wading through paypal.
Cut Off for the sale is Thursday the 23rd at 11:59PM! NO EXCEPTIONS! Posters are LIMITED numbers .. Don’t miss this. They will look AWESOME in your garage, office or bathroom only!

See you at the track,
<3

East Coast Bash – June 25th and 26th.
2 days of drifting and partying in Shanty Town.

Sneaky Pete’s will be open at the track for booze drinks throughout the day and into the night. The lights will be out on the track so we can keep things going after the sun goes down.  We’ve got a couple other things we’re planning that should be pretty sweet.

Shanty town vehicles are encouraged.

Registration to drive is now open.  It will close the Wednesday before the event.
Send registration to clubloose@gmail.com.
$260 to drive both days.  $156 to drive one.  If you’re driving one, make sure to specify which day.

Check the forum for additional info.

I know it’s not really news or an announcement of any kind, but I thought this picture was just too good and needs to be here.  This is from an impromptu post event photo shoot featuring Jeff Turner’s S13, Nathan Ong’s S14 and the Club Loose Moped.  Photo was by Matt Nugent.

B group saw a lot of progression as well.  As the track surface heated up, the entries got better and better. Lines moved quickly getting B group a ton of seat time. This was also due to the overall skill level rising and only a few off tracks that kept the wheels spinning all day.

Throughout the day, A group was staged up and ready to throw down some sick tandem. When they were out on track, they did not disappoint.  Club Loose veterans Nick D’alessio and John Wagner produced some insane entries that wowed the crowd! Ed Tini and Tanner Munson brought the smoke show as usual. Rodrigo Campos made a return to Club Loose and warmed up quickly showing the crowd he still has what it takes.

All in all, the event was a huge success. Drivers and spectators hung out in the pits well into the night, grilling and recapping the day’s events. Club Loose would like to thank Kenda Tires for its support of grassroots drifting and everyone that came out for an awesome day at Englishtown Raceway Park.

See you soon,

Club Loose

Club Loose keeps on rolling in 2011 bringing you another exciting venue to the schedule.  New Jersey Motorsports Park is a state of the art world class facility nestled in the pine barrens of south jersey.  Over the winter Club Loose staff pondered on how to bring Jet Planes, a sweet new track and drifting all together at once.  Well, we made that dream a reality with the addition of an action packed day on NJMP’s Lightning Circuit on May 28th.

Club Loose added drifting to the already popular New Jersey Vintage Grand Prix and Family Festival.  With War Birds, The World Famous Blue Angels and Drifting this event will be one for the record books.  “Being the first group to hold a drift event at NJMP is both an honor and privilege.  Club Loose drivers will deliver the action on the ground with plenty of air support rounding out an insane event.” says Matt Petty

Lighting circuit is a 10 turn 1.9 mile Road course that will challenge even the most seasoned Club Loose driver and wow the crowd with heart pounding triple digit entries and billowing tire smoke.  Please check the Club Loose forums for more information on how to reserve a spot on for this historic event.  And visit njmp.com for more information on the track.

Love,

Club Loose

Kenda Tires has made a huge push in the sport of drifting, sponsoring Dennis Mertzanis in Formula D. Club Loose plans to help them further their exposure even more by getting these awesome tires onto as many cars as possible. During that time we have seen several drivers giving the Kenda KR20 Kaiser a go at Club Loose events with great results. Drivers were all very pleased with the affordable performance that the tires provided. We have no doubt that everyone at Club Loose will enjoy these tires. Matt Petty says “After getting to drive a few Kenda equipped cars, I was blown away by the predictable grip and huge amounts of smoke these babies delivered”

Check the Club Loose forums for information on how you can join the Kenda revolution and participate in the Racer Support Program.
