If the tracks decent, I'll go.

[overb0ost]

[TheSquidd]

LoL you wouldn't believe how often I get that. Everyone who see's my ID for Alcohol/porn/smokes/cops always asks if I'm enjoying my visit to America.

*Edit: And yes, I am one crazy guy ^_^

[LB.Motoring]

[Zetto*]

If some money comes through I might be able to make it out.

I really hope we continue to see events like this.

[cfrost]

hoooray! A new venue!

Yo Terry I got your voicemail at like 2am--shiftlock forums got hacked and I'm workin on fixing it

ima check the calendar to see if I can come out to this, either way I better be hearing about how it goes in Akuma's World!

have fun in c-town man, stay safe

[gotta240]

yes, what are the tech requirements and more importantly


WHAT IS THE TRACK LIKE?!

Any walls or light poles to worry about? seriously.

[akuma s14]

hey guys.... Don't sweat the track layout - I will make sure it is really fun, but we are going to try to have a very similar layout to the TRILOGY event's course in order to help some of the guys that are signed up for that event get som good practice time too. Don't worry about walls or poles. I will tell them all to stay away from your car.;-)

[TheSquidd]

Well, then the sooner you give us better info, the sooner you get my $$

:D

[LB.Motoring]

yes, what are the tech requirements and more importantly


WHAT IS THE TRACK LIKE?!

Any walls or light poles to worry about? seriously.


hheres an example...

not so much as a "track" mmore like the drift days @ irwandale if anyone remmber those, but only rougher surface

oh there was a video, but it was deleted....by trilogy :duh:

[TheSquidd]

Can I hit 3rd gear? High 2nd? If it's just going to be a low 2nd gear autoX, blah, but if I can lay down some smoke, well, count me the fuck in.

[gotta240]

sorry, didn't really get the answer to my question.

WILL THERE, or WILL THERE NOT BE walls or poles around? Serious Q.
thanks again

[LB.Motoring]

[gotta240]

no. not SKURRED. I aint never skurred!

LOL. seriously though.

POLES OR WALLS= BRING THE GHETTO STOCK 86.

OPEN LOT= Bust out the stiff ass S14

but if i get all the way up there from SD with my s14 and find walls or dangerously placed poles, SOMEONE is getting HURT!

[Jdotsturn]

so what are the tech requirments

[94cc0rd]

but if i get all the way up there from SD with my s14 and find walls or dangerously placed poles, SOMEONE is getting HURT!

ahaha that reminded me of russel peters... "somebody gonna get a hurting.."

[94cc0rd]

from what i can tell on google earth... the track looks like an oval like irwindale except without an inner section for a cone track or something...

[UNITEDMASTER]

Hello, yea thats the speedway,but there is a parking lot next to it. I did a demo there before and if its that same lot BEWARE its cool but has very uneven pavement.But the fairgrounds has some other areas that are good. In that TRILOGY vid it didnt look bad at all so maybe thats a different lot IDUNO?? The oval is kinda good for nothing(small,dirt infeild,not too wide. & the banking there is very tricky). PEACE

[Id RaThEr DrIfT]

haha might sound like i noob but anyways ... hmmm i never been to a track in my life .... but really want to sometime soon so just wondering can begginers go also? and will this be good for a begginer? my car has the power and all but its me thats holding me back lol im scared!!!!!!!! so yeah...........

[94cc0rd]

usually, on the event schedule for most drift organizations, they will specify whether the track layout/event is for beginners or more advanced people.

It is specified that there will be a skid-pad for warmup or novice practice so it should be ok.

[crysis]

i'm not down with walls or poles.

hopefully i can get my car ready in time. if it is, im down to go. might have to go with an open diff though :D

[C2AUTOSPL]

Very nice. THat track is only about 10-15mins away from my shop :)

[NI_YON_Zenki]

Smooth, I'll be in attendance. with a few drivers.

[curbhuggerrps13]

might check it out...oh jay btw i am car less as of this moment...i had to sell everything i had to get outta debt

[akuma s14]

ok for all the questions about tech..... It is simple... bring a helmet, make sure your lugs are tight, and that your seatbelt works. If your car is a hunk of crap and is not safe to be on the track then you probly know it already.

Poles & walls - don't worry, I have a different area that I will be using and will keep it as safe as possible. *gotta240* - I do not condone violence but if you hit a pole I will hurt you worse. LOL


3rd gear lovers - get ready. My course set up will be able to hold up a 3rd gear run, just depends if you have the skills/balls to initiate where you need to.
2nd gear lovers - don't fret, just drive within your skill level and by the end of the day you'll be trying 3rd gear out too!

any more questions? well then sign up already!

[akuma s14]

ok guys - there is no wall to hit, and the poles are so far away that if you hit them you should think about trying drag racing.
LOL

beginers welcome - skid pad will be available.

[crysis]

car died. either gonna work on it that day or come hang out as san bernardino is like 10mi from me.

[C2AUTOSPL]

car is not ready yet, hopefully this december. It would be nice to have another event there since its only 10mins away haha.

[akuma s14]

still space available for you zilvia drifters out there.

[94cc0rd]

when's the next planned event?? no money right now..

[Jdotsturn]

I registered and paid for the event last week, but somebody hit my car yesterday and i dont know if i can get prep my car by the event

[Inlandsilvia]

i am registered...but, kinda waiting to see how my s13 is running before i pay...

[Jdotsturn]

will i pass tech with no front bumper? somebody hit me over the weekend.

[drift-it]

Considering going, I never been to an event, but I was thinking of doing the trilogy but I think there be more track time at this event. What about spectators? Can I bring a friend or would he have to pay? Is there still room avalible?

[akuma s14]

OneEightyDl2eamel2 - most guys tont run a front bumper at our events in case they hit a cone! so you are probly ok.

Drift-it - your gonna get a lot of track time this weekend there are only about 20 people registered right now. All participants are allowed ! crew member...or so. Try not to show up with a possy or anything like that because it is a private practice event.

check out my column on ign.com it's called Akuma's world. www.ign.com

p.s. to non-payers
If you sign up and register for any event and don't pre pay - don't get mad when your spot gets sold to someone else or you get charged extra for sameday payment. If you have a lasting relationship with land-ho/driftbuffet we can usually work something out.

[crysis]
