ur transitions are slow

[Volchok]

122 drivers all with Pink vests...lol LOL!!!!1

ur transitions are slow yeah i need a lot of practice, I've been drifting for just under a year and a half. I am working on it. Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate constructive criticism. With that in consideration I was going up against you and actually qualified a few spots away from you, and you have been drifting for what 5 years? gimme another few months and I am all over you!!!!

[SUPERSTAR]

Chow has been drifting for 15 years.

[Volchok]

Chow has been drifting for 15 years.

[YoungGun]

Chow invented the drift.

[SUPERSTAR]

I was told by a turtle that he was born on the track.

wow i sounded like a douche... wut i meant was, from watching u when we tandem, u have excellent control of ur car. however, ur car cannot keep up with ur driving anymore. hence the slow transitions. maybe u should try running a bigger tire in the rear. that way u wont transition and have to off throttle and wait for the car to regain grip, then be able to punch it, u can be full throttle the whole time.

just my 2cent... i think next time we line up, it will be very interesting! ;)

[FCDRIFT]

as for cody, i thought u were gonna place!!!! and we all know ur car is setup awesome and u can drive too.... no more choking!!!!

and ernie.... its no shame losing to jason kim. he drives "king corolla" theres probably only a handful of corollas that are better than his, and those corollas have the hasselgren engine in them =) plus hes been driving for as long as i have, haha. <3

[SUPERSTAR]

It's all good, just having fun. This event will be awesome and I hope I get a crack at Jason again and maybe you. My improvements come from your events and running with you that have more experience, so I thank you 626 guys for it.

[FCDRIFT]

yea, dtc can give u advice on tires and setup. dtc in LB of course!

[Volchok]

thanks you I do appreciate helpful criticism, I am going to focus on my transitions and maybe left foot brake a little. I know I need to work on my line, by habit, I miss the first clipping point on Balcony from driving my own line there too many times. I think that hurt me in qualifying. I really choked in our first tandem run, I spun twice while running tandem in a spot that I never spin at balcony. I want to run as much tandem as possible!

[SUPERSTAR]

Registered and paid.

[90 DGRZ]

dangit so many events going on on this date, i can't chooooosssseeee!!!

we shoulda hay baled it like we planned

[drift monster]

my bumper!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhh i got some hay bale love on my QP and sideskirt too

[lv240s14]

Great event great track layout and fun times!!!! One of the more fun events at balcony with a new track layout.
thanks to all the RAD guys for having this event and I look forward to round 2 hopefully next time I won't choke in top 8.

[Shmex]

Hey ryan, man, sounds like you had a blast.

Rumor has it, the Spooning Master is to com back in October this year. Lets praise the to the drift gods we can make that happen.

Also by the time i com back, the CA should be unstoppppperabllleee.

:)

PS! Ryan, cop me a dvd, i shoould visit soon. Ill try to make out so i can be at one of the rounds. Socaldrift represent son!

[SUPERSTAR]

Sorry, I haven't posted since event. I was on mini vacation right after and wife kept me away from Computers....lol

So I wanna thank first all the drivers and people that showed up to watch.

I can't believe that Nick took the 1st place spot with the 1,500. dollar car and bad suspension. That goes to show you that what you drive does not matter, all about driver skills, so Congrats again and you have my # so when your S14 is ready. Hit me up.

Also, Congrats to all the other winners and staff as well. Ryan, you are a stand up guy and glad you worked things out, to where the participants were praising RAD at the end of day.

A few things I would like to see and NOT see will be on an email in the morning.

Overall great event and DTC PERFORMANCE will be at round 2 to support, once again.

Remember guys, stay humble and DO NOT become the person you disliked so much. It's very easy to forget where and how you started with a little fame, as we saw this weekend.

Keep up the great driving and see yall next round with some nice trophies for the WINNERS!!

-Ernie

[turns101]

Ernie, I am glad you are supporting these grassroot comps.

Keep it fun folks, and people like Ernie will be around supporting drivers..!!

I hope to see you all again.

I also hope i can get my car tuned and up to spec to make the D1 event..

[dirtythirty]

jeff your car should be quick and easy to make it to anaheim, i have to build a new cage in mine...

[SUPERSTAR]

Do it people.

I sucked at event so that means I gotta do driver search for Anaheim. I also have to find a way to get rid of the butterflies. Dude, I am normal one minute and then it all changes really, really fast.

Does this happen to any of you?

[turns101]

I am not going. I dont have enough cash to get there. I have alot to do.
Body work, tires, turbo, tune, seat, harness, a bunch of other shit.. So unless someone drops me like 2K, i cant go. No biggy though. As long as i can drive 1 time a month I will be happy..

As for butterflies, i still get them a little, but I just go and have fun. Its all about fun stuff.

D1 and i would be a bit more nervous LOL!!

i used to get so caught up in doing well and butterflies i would kill it all day and then try and qualify and shit myself all over the course...

just relax and have fun.. Then it gets easier. Also, the more you do the more you will relax...

My .02

[tt99ol]

i got the butterflies
thats why i couldnt pull a clean tandem run to save my life
but this was my first ever comp so i think i did well
everyone did well actually and at the end of the day i had a blast

[Vanilla Sasquatch]

Jeff here is exactly right, the more you do the less it effects you, and the rest is all just a mindset, everyone makes themselves nervous cuz they start overthinking and getting excited, just keep yourself calm and remember that your there for fun, whether you win or lose its gonna be fun!

Im not gonna be ready for D1 anaheim either, have to much to do to makethe car legal, and not enough time or funds :( :( :(

[SUPERSTAR]

Yeah I tried telling myself out loud that it was just practice, then like the body does not respond to do what I want and fail.

I do it for fun all the time =). That's why it was wierd to feel like that. Same thing happened at 626comp. I gues me knowing I am being looked at, I focus more on being perfect and well shit don't happen.

I am gonna slap myself next time.

[Vanilla Sasquatch]

hahaha, dont worry, i used to do the same thing, just dont let yourself focus on the fact that your being watched or judged cuz thats just going to throw you off your game, just fovus on the drive, pay attention to what your doin in the car instead of whats happening around you. Thats what I do to keep myself channeled in ;)

[turns101]

Well, comps suck bro. Thats why LOL

Practice sessions with your buddies is what is fun..

[brainfood]

It took me a while to get disconnected from the whole nervous because it's a comp thing but you get used to it and then it's a lot easier. Practice practice practice!

[SUPERSTAR]

Sounds like practice is the cure for all this, huh?

Well I like that ALUUUT!

Looks like I will be out more and more. I wish there was something in a bottle I can just drink before runs...lol

[PacificDrift_Nick]

i can slap you if you need me to?

[SUPERSTAR]

We might have to do that Nick.

[ryster]

We are starting to organize round 2. Details will be posted soon.

BTW RAD EXPERIENCE has a site now. Please check it out.

Props to everyone who drove that event. By the end of the day everyone was killing the new track layout. Tandem action from top 8 was also really fun to watch. This was easily the most fun I've had @ balcony for years.

Everyone visit the new site and register for the next event! :2f2f:
