Thank goodness for this thread. For some reason, I thought it was on Sunday. Then everyone kept saying Saturday so I double-checked and March 8 is Saturday.

It's all through e-mail basically. All the people who went to the first one got emails concerning the new one. My coworker went to the first one and got the email. He got an application for me and we faxed it in the first day the applications got emailed out. Basically a word of mouth kinda of deal. Looks for the white Z32 out there on CE28s :D

Sick! Yeah good deal nice day... I am addicted to drifting and JDM cars. I miss putting it down. I bought the GTIR becuse it was there just sitting at a friends house.. I like enough is enough.....lol I am sring my coupe right now... Its going to be fun... Cant wait to do it legal. If anyone needs parts or help starting drifting let me know i have been doing it a while ask around.. I can take you step by step so you dont miss anything and just do spin outs all day long. Also im in Irvine now... I can point you in the right direction for things... Free help..

I was there. I learned a good amount. It was my first time drifting period. Can't wait to hit up another event with the Z. I'm so surprise I only went through one set of tires though, lol. I saw a lot of people with cameras. I wonder where all the pics are going to be posted.

i hoped me and cyrs helped you guys out on the figure8 and j-turn sections. after lunch. we headed over to advanced course and were in middle of 4th gear in the Z. Stuff was fun. We only lasted 2 tandem runs before we found out tandem wasn't under insurance coverage.

Yeah, I was in the white Z32 with the CEs up front rocking it topless (without the t-tops). I kept banging my head on the t-tops from spinning out, so I just took them off. Problem solved, lol. Sucks that my e-brake broke the night before, lol. All i had going for me was feinting and clutch kicking, hahaha. Luckily my clutch could take the abuse. I couldn't say the same for others ;_;

yeah a few people had clutch problems, and problems with their tires coming off the bead.. front and rear... idk... wierd shit.... did you see me out there?? maroon coupe, with black trunk, hood and front bumper? cuz i think u were behind me in the intermediate course if i remember correct. idk.

I didn't hit the intermediate course. Wasn't that comfortable with myself driving yet. That and I had massive blow-by issues so I would bog a lot later on in the day. I was at the skid pad all day getting used to sliding the Z.

Insurance policies. Cars hit. People can get hurt, especially if not equipped with a rollcage. Then what? You know... that kinda stuff.
S13Leprechaun
03-10-2008, 01:26 PM
yeah true... but i think if you show ur descent enough to tandem then you should be able to or something idk.. haha.. it'd be cool. its a lot funner than single runs.
