Post Drift/AutoX Park interest survey

I would like some feedback as to what you'd expect out of a Drift/AutoX park as well as some other information. It would be much like Ebisu Circuit's Driftland, where it's a bunch of raised islands and you pick your own course. This is mostly for my personal interest.

Please fill this out as best as you can:

1. Would you rather?
A) Pay per session (5 to 10 laps) and go in small groups. Then you sign up for the next available session if you want to go again.

B) Pay by the lap and have a large group (10 to 20 people). There will also be a waiting list so when one person is done the next person on the list takes their spot

C) Pay per lap and EVERYONE is in que. Each person is assigned a number for that day and will go once their number is called. It starts over once the last person in que finishes their run.

Note: only one person/car will be allowed on the track at a time.

2. What style of track would you prefer?
A) A circuit where there is only one way around it.

B) A track where there are a number of islands that you must find your way through. Also have predetermined courses outlined with cones between islands.


3. How much would you expect pay?
Per lap

Per Session


4. What days/times would you usually go and how often?


5. Would you like there to be classes/clinics?


6. What would you expect to pay for a class/clinic?


7. Would you buy a season or monthly pass if available?


8. Would you like there to be different times/day for AutoX and drifting or would you prefer mixed participants?


9. How would you feel about a licensing system? A license would allow you to go on track without an instructor. You would need to prove your ability to an instructor in a driving test and maybe take a written test as well. Possibly have an advanced license that will allow you to go earlier or stay later than those with regular licenses.
Please give details (likes, dislikes and suggestions) in your answer.


10. What kind of amenities would you like to see on grounds? Food, entertainment, waiting room, etc...
Please give some detail (what kinds of food, etc) to answer.


11. Would you like to see a parts/tire/pro shop on grounds?


12. What about in house tuning and dyno and what would you expect to pay?


13. Would you like there to be any competitions and how often would you like them to be?


14. Any other special events you'd like to see?


15. How far would you be willing to travel to the park?


16. Would you like mid-week discounts and/or a frequent driver discount/punch card?
Please suggest other discounts as well.


17. Any other comments, questions, or suggestions?

Per lap $2~$3

Per Session

Saturdays drift, Sundays autoX and mix them on the weekdays

Food - standard track junk food

I'd like to see repair stuff because a lot of drift cars are held together with bungies and duct tape. Sometimes when that stuff breaks it strands the car ON THE TRACK causing delays

$80 for a dyno run and charge hourly for tuning

Once a month with brackets and points

Please suggest other discounts as well.
Weekdays should be cheaper


17. Any other comments, questions, or suggestions?
Why hasn't this been built in the midwest already. We have ridiculous amounts of space and about a dozen places you could put it and not worry about noise.
seriously
