[darius_tii]

Man...
Thanks
Darius

[deadpirate]

why is sunday cancelled

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Not enough registration. There was only 17 people that registered and people keep telling me that they'll sign up but still no words. Did you sign up?

We have to play it safe and not lose 5K+ money.

But Saturday is still a go and it'll be fucking dope!

[Ryu8200]

This is gay, why such short notice.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

This is gay, why such short notice.

It's almost two weeks and we were hoping to see more sign up beginning this week.

and yes we're gay.

[deadpirate]

if i had a running car, i would have signed up

[CleanS14]

Honestly guys we started promoting this event a long time ago and nobody signed up even 2 weeks before there wasn't enough registration to cover the cost. This is a great deal for BW on a weekend... lots of seat time and a great track... just register and come out. It will be fun!!!

[JDMPalace]

are newbiis welcome now ??

[TRUENOCOUPE]

are newbiis welcome now ??

If you are new to drifting, real track its where it's at. You are hot lapping so you don't stop and you can fix your mistake at the next turn, or the next turn, or the next turn.

Its fucking awesome!

[SpdElemts]

are newbiis welcome now ??

Newbies are always welcomed....Plus why do you think Al might be drifting???

[CleanS14]

Al's gonna be drifting his Ruckus... so watch out!

[Uisce]

For those who keep asking for a Drift Buffet practice day, I would suggest you come to this one. We can't run the parking lots right now, but I would rather be at Buttonwillow any day. If you have never been to BW, then you haven't lived!

I'm sure we'll arrange for the beginners to run together so nobody gets upset or feels pressured.

Most of the top DB drivers will be there, if you need help learning.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

yeah if you think you suck and a beginner, let me know [email protected] and Ill put you with the rest of the noobs!

jk, just let us know if its your first time .

[Oubre]

Any forms to fill out for under 18 visitors, non - drivers. I hope to come down with a girl and my bro hydralux on here and visit and snap some pics.

(Last event i went to was a Porsche Club America at Infineon and i need a paper filled out)

Come in through the gate, you sign something and thats it.

FYI you guys will need to pay entrance fee to BW, not sure how much but last time i was there it was 10 bucks per person.

All the drivers also even me have to pay. fuck.

[Uisce]

If you guys want a practice day, this is for you!

Buttonwillow is worth the drive. It is clean, safe, and fun. Beginners can make mistakes all day, and continually learn because you have 20-minute run groups.

What that means is that you don't take one run, screw it up, get frustrated, sit in line, wait, get nervous, then go back out, screw it up, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat.

At BW, you get in a run group with other people who are at about the same skill level as you, and you take laps for 20 minutes. No stopping unless you want to for 20 minutes! You'll see so many different kinds of turns (fast, slow, tight, sweepers, whatever) and you'll get so much time behind the wheel that your skills are sure to improve! At Buttonwillow, you can always find a turn you like, and when you start killing it on that turn, you can apply what you learned to the other turns, and pretty soon you are drifting the whole course!

I would absolutely recommend this course if you want to work on your drifting skills! I'll be there too, working on mine!

There hasn't been an event at BW in a while, and there won't be again soon, so get it while you can!

[JDMPalace]

Thanks guys, Most likely I'll be there !! I will put huge sticker on my car says newbiii, get out of my way !!! :wiggle:

[TRUENOCOUPE]

[mrbells]

i would love to sign up but i have a cracked windshield.. thats 1 bill and im broke so the other 150 will leave me bankrupt!

TT

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

been signed for a few weeks now! does that mean by default i am now entered in the competition too? props to you guys for not cancelling the whole event! can't wait. i gotta get tires now! better call logan.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

It took me awhile to get a Buttonwillow weekend. Everyone has been asking me almost everyday of when we'll have another BW session.

I finally got a weekend and wanted to give everyone a chance to make it for the PROAM National, especially all the Norcal drivers. I even ask all the amateur organization if they wanted to participate on this whole deal just to have a DOPE OLD SCHOOL BUTTONWILLOW STYLE EVENTS...

I guess it didn't work but this will probably the only weekend this year for Buttonwillow that you can fully drift and it's sad that we wasted a sunday. :(

I hope you guys can come out on Saturday because you will not be disappointed.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

[TRUENOCOUPE]

6am!

that we can start driving at 8AM.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

We are thinking of giving everyone worth their money and might close the registration early if we hit 60.

[JDMPalace]

Damn, Now that is early, I think better off drive the night before and stay in hotel !! By the way, does this track require 3" clearance or doesn't matter ??

[darius_tii]

You have two hours unless you want tech at 10AM and start driving at 11am and get off the track at 5PM.

Fine by me. Less work.

great event, bravo driftxbattle staff

[Luvs2slide]

Yup yup. Definately a great day at ButtonWillow. Madd track time. Today they are suppose to have a special Event there also...

[Andrew Bohan]

best track day ever

as many of you noticed, we brought the LS1 FC, since we could not get the S14 done in time.

we left san jose at 11pm on friday after working most the day on S14 and then saying fuck it and prepping the FC at the last minute. we were towing the FC behind the Dirrty Van, which is the biggest piece of shit rapist van. it has no exhaust and the steering and brakes don't work that well. after a few stops, we got to the front gate at 4am and drank beer until the sun came up.

did tech and started lapping until the car sputtered and died. when luke tried starting it again, it exploded. oh yes, giant fireballs are so cool. luckily there was a 15lb fire extinguisher in the car.

pushed the car back to our pit, and found out the fuel line had popped off. luke was about to go buy a bottle of jager and spend the rest of the day drunk, but we decided to see if we could fix it instead. we got the fuel line back on and went over all the places where the harness look burned. it seemed okay so luke started the car...and it was fine! somehow the car was allowed back on the track and it was business as usual.

after we passed lost hills on the way back north, the van's steering got to the point of being extremely unsafe. it would sway back and forth and try to change lanes by itself. we pulled off to see what we could do. we considered driving the fc back and finding a truck to tow the van on its own trailer. how lame would that be? we had the idea of just unloading the car and seeing how bad the steering was with no weight pulling the front wheels up. as we unloaded the car, the front bumper broke in half. fuck. luke drove the van down this scary road and back, and determined that the van was safe (enough) to drive back. but then i noticed one of the tires was completely flat.

we drove the van and car 7 miles to the next gas station, which was brand new and did not have air yet. so two more miles to the next gas one, where we the air nozzle was broken. so we got a can of fix-a-flat and it worked well enough to get us all the way back home.

cliff's notes:
didn't get the s14 done, so we brought the fc.
the fc exploded, but we fixed it and finished the day.
the van's steering almost failed
and then it got a flat tire

[crazyikimasho]

Awesome event. Road courses are so much fun to drive, learned a lot this weekend.

But... many of you that did go missed out on the best part of the weekend.

Ill give you the short version:

After dinner, we (Al, Jay Pizarro, Stew (Johnny5), Calvin Wan, Jay Lapid, and a few others) decided to drive 30 some more miles down the road to a strip club.

Needless to say, being a town in the middle of nowhere is obviously going to have few hot strippers. We found a new place "Exotic Kitty" in Bakersfield.

First, we find out that its like $20 to get (kinda high for a small town IMO). The bouncer asks what we are doing in town and we explain that we were at the track in Buttonwillow. He asks if we do that "drifting" thing. We say yes, and I go "hey, this guy is a pro driver so can we get in for a discount (pointing to Calvin). The bouncer thinks for a second and goes if you have something to give me that I can give my kid Ill let you guys in for $15.00. So Calvin goes out to the truck and gets on of his trading cards with his pic and a pic of the G35 on it. So we're in for $15.00

But, it gets better...
We get in and the girls are horrible. Someone (might have been Jay Lapid) tells one of the staff that Calvin is getting married and that this was his bachelor party. Calvin has no clue until they call him up to the stage and put him in a chair where all these trashy girls dance all over him, including this big black girl that is aaaalll over him (we told them he likes big girls). Towards the end of the dances, Calvin notices the stripper pole in the middle of the stage spins and is pointing it out to us. Next thing you know Calvin is climbing the pole and gets all the way to the top. At this point we are all dying laughing.

It gets even better.... one of the girls starts spinning the pole while hes still at the top and Calvin goes spinning around the pole as hes coming down. Funniest shit ever!

I also like to thanks Luke for testing the car and for his pointers !! Sorry you guys had that much trouble should have given you my number since we were heading the same way, we saw you guys in lost hills when we had to get fuel, but good thing you guys made it home safe !!

[hitman]

Awesome, someone actually took pics of my stock S13!! Even better, you got me getting passed by Calvin in his FD. :)

First time out there and I had a blast. I do feel bad for the Thrust guys in my run group, I probably slowed 'em down out there... I definitely learned a lot though and hopefully I wasn't too much of a nuisance out there.

Great pics, Andrew --- glad my car found your lens a few times. Great hat, btw.

Im happy you were able to get it dialed in. Seems like your car will rock once you actually have a front sway bar. lol

O yea the ride home totally sucked. Took us like forever, and was annoying when the front bumper on the fc got torn off. Once i get some money i will just get a whole new kit for that floppy little car.

[Uisce]

Big thanks to Al and Jay and the Drift Battle staff. It was a whole big pile of Norcal guys, and our little band of Drift Buffet/WSC/Land Ho/Socal guys, but at least we came to rep, right? We all had a blast!

Hey Andrew, if I had known you were going to take pics right then, I would have kicked the camera guy out and gotten her sideways through that off-ramp! But from Auto Otaku, I got a new favorite picture of my car!
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1439/871755034_0a76537498.jpg?v=0

But seriously, thanks to all you NorCal guys for putting this together. I'm sorry more SoCal groups didn't support this event like they said they would. Drift Buffet is down to support Drift Battle anytime if you ever decide that you really do want a comp!

Good point. I was a bit more conservative than most since its the first track event I've done... well that's not compeltely true (Altamont) but it was a great event and I had fun out there just being able to open it up or attempt to slide w/out worry about legal ramifications. I got a lot of aggression out on the track and it was great.

There's so much more to be said about the ability to really let it go on a track compared to a parking lot event. Both are beneficial to the beginniner but its so nice to just go non-stop for 30 minutes straight. As Al mentioned earlier in this post, you try a turn and if you mess up there's another one right there and if you mess that one up, you just keep going.

Its nice to see a lot of the NorCal people show up, and compared to those drives out to Balcony (5-6 hrs), this drive along I-5 is much easier to bear.

Best thing ever, riding with matt we pull off the track and matt goes "I think he's supposed to make sure my cars ok" so he asks john to do so and john grabbed everything and shook the entire front end that was ziptied on like headlights and brackets ect. and says "yeah everything thing seems fine, your good to go" lol

Funny how you can see my bumper right there by off ramp in almost all of the video LOL... damn I suck!!!

[cfrost]

sweet video!! :love: :love:

[Flybert]

So who won the earliest initiation contest on the onramp. From that video it looks like stewey won it by a long shot. The video needs more straight away runup to the onramp see who has the big balls.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

I think Pat was more gangster than stewey.

From that I have seen. and where were you?

[Flybert]

From that I have seen. and where were you?

Yeah pat looks like he has the most angle.

I had a teaching credential test on saturday and I just wanted to do the proam comp. With that prize money all the way down to 8th place, it was worth the risk of signing up for sunday but not just to practice. I'm low on funds because I'm a substitute teacher and we don't get much work over the summer.

[drift-it]

I think tommy won but on the second day when no one was there to film it. 65-70 mph initiantions

[Uisce]

Pat was too gangster for me. I tried to follow his crazy-early line and put myself in the dirt (as the video shows) and Colin had to swerve to avoid us both.

Ok, so Chris had a legit reason not to be there. What's the excuse for the rest of the Charlie's Kids? I know you all boycott our events, but why hate on Al? If he had gotten the support and pre-reg he should have, he would not have had to cancel sunday.

[sonnysmr2]

any footy or shots of me?? Off ramp longslide was soo fun. I dont think anyone was filming me tho.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

ohoh.

Im outta here.

Drama!

and whatever, I'm done supporting drifters. My reason to make that event was just for everyone to come together and have a bad ass event.

A lot of the JD people wasted all their money at the ziptied all star bash. In addition to that, JD people are dedicated to the Top Drift Battle series so people have to make sure they have money to compete in it, especially when you have a chance to go to proam nationals at the end of the year. On top of this, a lot of the JD cars aren't running right now and a lot of people are broke or saving money. My best friend chris has rod knock, aaron had to spend $2500 on repairing his truck, lindsay's car isn't running, logan is broke from ASB and going SR, Brian needs to save up for an SR, etc. Nobody boycotted it.

This event just happened at the wrong time for a lot of the JD guys. I know I really wanted to go back and compete at BW. I've supported Al's private events for a long ass time and I'll still continue to support him. Just happened at a bad time that's all.

[CleanS14]

Timing is everything...

[Flybert]

BTW, any more video? Can't get enough of BW or HTM clips.

[uthemofo]

[uthemofo]

[TRUENOCOUPE]

yeah Team Thrust x VEX Motorsport was ripping all day everyday at the eastloop.

And jeff going off every fucking turn.

all good tho, no big incident except my truck getting hit by a drifter.

[cfrost]

:keke: :keke: :keke: :keke:

looks like you survived the tsunami...were you hiking, or perhaps do you live in the mountains? :hsdance:

[TRUENOCOUPE]

What were you killing?

Killing some undah undah at the off ramp.
pfttttt

[cfrost]

yea if your laughing at us, I don't know why because I don't seem to remember your team, let alone you guys killing anything.:down:

i challenge you to a downhill battle. your team vs. mine.

[cfrost]

What were you killing?

Killing some undah undah at the off ramp.

all i saw from you was park park park ruckus ruckus ruckus on the pits :ugh:

[Flybert]

yea if your laughing at us, I don't know why because I don't seem to remember your team, let alone you guys killing anything.

If you want to get good media coverage and good single and team tandem competition action, you should come down to Ziptied AllStarBash 2. Bring three members of Team Thrust. It's coming up in October. Come down and leave the bad attitude up north because it's all about having fun.

O, and it's all going to go down at Horse Thief Mile (mountain course) so you and CFROST can have your downhill battle. AHAHAHAHAA. I'm assuming all you norcal guys are all about street/mountain action so it should be right up your alley.

[mrbells]

Al handle it.

[cfrost]

hey did anyone from socal back into al's truck?


:angel:

[uthemofo]

If this is a challenge I'm down. I have never been on horse thief mile before so give me a day or so to get use to it and im 100% down. And actually we do, do mountain drifting as well as track...so don't hate we do what we can!

[TRUENOCOUPE]

hey did anyone from socal back into al's truck?


:angel:

hey faggot. listen.

yeah that's right. listen.

[uthemofo]

oh by the way. nor cal and especially TEAM THRUST are 100% friendly guys, we love everyone and always help out anyone we can, so don't say we have bad attitudes because we are just trying to make it in this anit drif region of California

[cfrost]

i took the SAT again for fun because i am so smart

they had a question that was like this

florida is to the usa as:
a. dogs are to cats
b. charles is to in charge
c. norcal is to socal
d. peanut butter is to jelly

the answer was C

WTF man. I'm not sure what thread you are reading but nobody is hating on you. You just started claiming people were hating and now you continue to do so. Expect the ball busting to continue.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

edit. i forgot there's black people at Zilvia. LOL

[TRUENOCOUPE]

WTF man. I'm not sure what thread you are reading but nobody is hating on you. You just started claiming people were hating and now you continue to do so. Expect the ball busting to continue.

what?

You want to drift off?

lets go this?

HTM?

what? what?

What? WHAT WAS THAT? Sorry I must have misheard, I thought I heard a giant faggot mouthing off at me with something he sure as fuck could never back up, but it must have just been my imagination. Because after I imagined hearing that, I proceeded to imagine how good it would feel to break that persons fucking spinal cord over my knee. I imagined how my next step is usually to rip out one of the persons fucking ribs and jab it straight through their nose into their brain cavity. I imagined pulling that rib back out, and then brainfucking that dead faggot through the new massive hole in his face I created.
But I didn't really hear anything, right? no one would be fucking dumb enough to talk to me like that on here.

[cfrost]

nigggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

consider yourself NEGREPPED!

edit: please tone down the disrespect, i dont appreciate it.

[Flybert]

I can imagine what the pits were like at BW this weekend. A bunch of socal dudes having fun and a bunch of norcal dudes glancing over at socal guys with dirty looks and trying to prove something all weekend. It's too bad the comp didn't go down because then norcal would have really got to prove themselves. Now they are left with built up tension and were left with no resolve or so it seems from this thread.

[uthemofo]

it was nothing like that. I did indeed want the comp to actually show you guys something. I respect the so cal guys because i know they are good because they get the opportunity to get good. so cal drivers are great, i know that, but it also shows that the so cal guys are to ignorant to take a look at us and give us some respect.

[Flybert]

Al, edit your post up there you homo. Post #129 to be exact.

I'm sure they were watching you, just not filming. Get over it man and just come down to socal. We'll party it up at ziptied ASB. BBQ, horseshoes, team tandem, practice, legal mountain driving. You can't go wrong. Plus you have a few months to prepare and save up.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Al, edit your post up there you homo. Post #129 to be exact.

You effers better be at ASB. You can team up with Jay and calvin wan or something. We'll have a driftoff there.

[SpdElemts]

Hey guys whats up with this hostility? You guys are all acting like a bunch of homos that remind me of some honda/drag guys. Its not all about who is better or whatever. Drifting is a friendly sport lets keep it that way. Anyways i had fun until i spun out on the off ramp and my friend ran into me, then i fixed all the shit that broke, then my car caught on fire and my ca18 started to rod knock....so yea other then that i had an awsome time cant wait to see you guys next time. OH im also down to go to HTM so about this Ziptied AllStarBash 2 let me get on this!!!

[mrbells]

JEFF i only hit you because you spun out!! JK ahahah <3 i have your radiator support at home at least it wasnt the quarter panel

[TRUENOCOUPE]

You effers better be at ASB. You can team up with Jay and calvin wan or something. We'll have a driftoff there.


leave the kids alone mendoza!

they're freakin 17 years old but definitely the next best guys here in norcal. Reminds me of those old Private-Events we had, going with all the friends and going all out till we pass out!

[SpdElemts]

Hey Flybert what day might this ASB2 be in october? I might want to come kick it with you guys so i can make preperations due to me going to Japan in october.

[johngriff]

ASB2 sounds awesome.

Best in that video was the Runs where matt and pat got some tight action on offramp, you guys had open track there for a minute!

[Flybert]

Hey Flybert what day might this ASB2 be in october? I might want to come kick it with you guys so i can make preperations due to me going to Japan in october.

It's October 28 and 29th. Brian should be posting up the flyer with all the info and craziness soon. Hopefully you won't be in japan at that time.

[Johny5]

haha what the fuck is this norcal socal battle. why do garages fight here,

CANT CALIFORNIA JUST GET ALONG? YOU GUYS ARE ALL NUTS!

the vex guys were good but shitty wheel/tire combos are holding them back big time, start investing in newer tires for better consistency and you will find yourself advancing much faster imo.


haha yay i got mentioned! flybert in that vid my turbo elbow was 1/2" off teh damn turbo no power no power no power :( :(

[Flybert]

AHAHAHAHA after proam where that same shit happened to me, I've been checking mine the day before every event when the exhaust is cold and you can actually tighten those damn things.

[Johny5]

i gave up and welded them

YEAH YEAH GET SOME GET SOME!

[Flybert]

i gave up and welded them

YEAH YEAH GET SOME GET SOME!

That'll do it. So how'd you like the track. What speeds were you initiating on onramp?

[CleanS14]

Good for you Stu... and who says Norcal lost it's cool... I'm cool with everyone at least I think I am if not I'm definitely down to fight about it fuck the drift off shit :smash:

Just kidding all :love: from Jay

[JdM_JunKiE]

i was initiating as fast as my car would go into 3rd gear on east loop, unfortunately that wasn't as fast as i had wanted to go :(

-stew

oh yeah, jays old bumper looks kickass on my car!!

[CleanS14]

so where are the pics then?

[JdM_JunKiE]

haha man i didn't take any! i wanna see some too, ultra boro hahahaha

the day i got home i went and bought a new works9 bumper. fuck the uras i just miss my old car!!!

[TRUENOCOUPE]

[hitman]

are you norcal guys serious right now? thats why you suck, you guys are way to serious. chill the fuck out, i thought people smoked alot of weed up there? no one cares how good or lack there of you are, if they do they probably suck as well and it really doesnt matter.

event was awesome, my car got thrashed but im way into it.<3

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

Just FYI...

Norcal > Socal

I don't care how many events you fruitcake has.

that's cuz there was only like 10 of us SO COOL guys and seemingly 100 norcal guys! there were more nor cal scooters then so cool guys! :rant2: but that's ok. maybe one weekend i'll make a trip out of a nor cal event!

[sonnysmr2]

ill come down to rep norcal for ASB2, no drama just drifting.

Where is the footage of my off ramp longslides?

[boozels]

All I know is the 10 So Cool guys Were tearing it up all day long
No need for the Drama the driftin speaks for itself.

[crazyikimasho]

I was tearing up the dirt off the track. Does that count? :)

[boozels]

Yea you still get plenty bonus points for sure
but it's all good I hit the dirt a few times

[hitman]

^me too. i feel bad, i had to go in after every run to put my aero back on for one session, i think i was wearing john out lol.

[johngriff]

lol, no, I got plenty of time to dry hump your car in the pit!

[turboKA]

JEFF i only hit you because you spun out!! JK ahahah <3 i have your radiator support at home at least it wasnt the quarter panel

or a passenger door! bahbahhahaha

[mrbells]

Ya your right turboKA!!


aye too bad norcal guys didnt have their mommy's and daddy's paying for their tires cause maybe then we could get some match sets and some "ganster" rims..................

[blu808]

whats up with all the hate? I was driving a ls1 powered fc that was only 220 whp and even though i cought fire, and had probs, i still had a great time and liked watching the socal guys. overall it was a great event.

[Flybert]

I wanna see video of Sonny because he's a gangster that goes 110% 130% of the time.

Ya your right turboKA!!

aye too bad norcal guys didnt have their mommy's and daddy's paying for their tires cause maybe then we could get some match sets and some "ganster" rims..................

You young kids from norcal need to keep it cool and chill out. Most of the badass cars in socal are owned by dudes with good jobs in their mid-20's to low-30's and we've been building them for longer than you've had your drivers licenses. Even if someone has their car being paid for by their parents, that's no reason to make fun of them. You do whatever it takes to get you out on the track and you earn respect from other people by driving like a badass.

[cfrost]

haha what the fuck is this norcal socal battle. why do garages fight here,

you're right....

FUCK TEXAS!

[powerjon]

i know all the so cal guys that went. only 1 had parents paying for tires. everyone else has jobs.

[CleanS14]

Come on guys the event was awesome... no more gay elitest shit. Mods just lock this thread it's useless now... all the coverage and shit is up already anyway.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

I still say Norcal > Socal.

Lets get it on!

Who wants to fight?

Fuck socal. Lets do this.

[Dousan_PG]

[Luvs2slide]

LoL. Why all the hatred peoples. Does it really matter? Seriously, who gives a shit anyways. Drifting is for fun. I could see if you were in Formula D or D1 and were actually competing for something. Ya'll need to get a grip.
