That is true. That was when "Drift Circuit" was holding the events (3 total?) that where specifically for drifting. Damn Megan 350z! "Race Legal" has been doing 1/8 mile drag racing there at Qualcom for over 10-15 years. The Race Legal crew set up a Time attack slalom called "High Octane Slide" last year that lasted only a few months till they cancelled it. Possibly because I and a few others that could not resist drifting the entire course! They never said
So need a legal Drift location/outlet here in San Diego!

I left SD in 09 and had been out there since 92. Miss it and still have a lot of friends out there. I remember when they almost shut racelegal down too cause of funding.
I spent many of friday nights out there

The adpater from www.novak-adapt.com is Part# GMAX15. You will need a standard Chevy old school bell housing that is from a 68-90 Chevy truck or camaro, release bearing setup, and custom pilot bearing from novak (they custom made it for me.) I also had SPEC clutches make a custom clutch disk that is the ls1 clutch kit with the R154 splines in it. I also used a RAM hydraulic release bearing kit. Use the HD version it is imuch better than the standard... tried both and the HD is holding up where the standard one lasted a month for me. Novak helped me through the set-up...give them a call

Awesome. I really appreciate it. Have you calculated your mpg yet? The biggest thing I'm worried about is the highest gears I can do in mine is 3.73:1 so at highway speeds I'm gonna be over 2500 rpm.
Is this the one your running?
