September Sip and Slides at RCHQ, and the October date in the caption
RC-Drift Network's recap of its September coffee-and-drift morning names the venue, the coffee and a next date: Sunday, October 25, with a guest host it has not yet announced.
What was posted
A recap with a date attached
The most useful line in RC-Drift Network's September recap is not in the footage at all. It is in the caption, three short paragraphs down: "Our next Sip and Slides is Sunday, October 25, with a special guest host. We'll share more details soon."
That is how a lot of local RC drift meets get documented — a recap video that doubles as the next announcement. The video went up on 29 September under the title Coffee, RC Drifting & Good People, and the channel describes it as a look back at the morning rather than a competition report. No heats, no judged battles, no results are mentioned anywhere in the post.
The named ingredients are simple: an early morning of RC drifting at RCHQ, coffee from Full Send Coffee Co, and, in the channel's words, "time with the people who make this community what it is."
“Thanks to everyone who came out, brought a car, grabbed a coffee, or just hung out with us.”

Who made the morning
RC-Drift Network is the channel that filmed and posted the recap, and it writes about the event in the first person — "we got together," "our next Sip and Slides" — so it is at minimum a host or co-host rather than a visiting camera. The post does not separate out who books the venue, who runs the layout on the day, or whether RCHQ itself shares the organizing. That split is worth knowing before anyone sends questions to the wrong inbox.
Full Send Coffee Co is credited for the coffee at the September edition, and appears in the post's hashtags alongside RCHQ. Whether the same arrangement carries over to October is not stated.
The reach numbers are small and that is normal for a local recap: at the time of writing the video showed 182 views, 19 likes and 2 comments. A meet does not need a large audience online to be the busiest morning of the month for the people standing at the edge of the track.
Why the coffee format keeps working
A morning meet with coffee attached solves a scheduling problem more than a driving one. Evening drift nights compete with work, family and closing time; an early Sunday slot does not. It also lowers the bar for turning up without a car, which the caption explicitly welcomes — coming to "just hang out" is listed as a way of attending, not an apology for not driving.
The format also suits the way most people actually use a session. Pit-table time, a gyro gain dial argument, someone re-shimming a rear diff or trying a different wheel offset so the arches sit right: none of that reads on camera, and none of it needs a bracket to justify it. What the September post records is a gathering, and it does not claim to be anything else.

What October 25 does and does not promise
The caption names a guest host but not the guest. Nothing in the post suggests a change of format — there is no mention of a judged competition, a tandem bracket, qualifying runs or an entry list — so the safest reading is another coffee morning with a name attached to it.
One small check in the event's favor: October 25 does fall on a Sunday in 2026, which matches the day the post gives. The year itself is not written in the caption, so a reader planning travel should still wait for the detail post rather than treating the date as locked.
For anyone new to this kind of meet and wondering what turns up: the post does not list chassis, classes or scale. Most modern meets of this type are 1/10-scale RWD cars running gyros, but the recap does not say so and this piece will not pretend it does.
