hey guys! just a little feedback on these guys events! Balcony is a super beginner friendly spot also for the new guys. Longdy and his team are pretty spot on for organizing their events and making sure that drivers get the most track time. Usually instructors are on hand and for those learning drifting, dont be afraid to ask. They are super helpful. For the advanced drivers, they will allow 3 car tandems. I mean when do you ever get to have 3 cars next to each other with loads of track time! If you wana have fun with out the competition this is the place! if you are worried your gona get bagged on for being a noob driver, your not gona find it at these guys events! Come out guys and support COLAB!

Hey guys! Its a needed thanks from everyone that came out and supported our events!! It takes alot of time and dedication to make our events the way they are, keeping true to our roots! I know there were plenty of people that were taking pics and videos out on the track so If you can please post them here or at the Colab facebook fanpage : http://www.facebook.com/colabevents

Again I would like to thank all the staff that came out to help staff which included some of the drivers. We were understaffed but that did not stop us from running an unforgettable event! We COLAB have a lot of heart for the sport of drifting, which flows right into Motorsports in general, that we are willing to do whatever it takes to make our events happen. It is very easy to spot the results of our hard work based off the facial expression and lack of tires everyone had through out the day. I am soooooo happy that we could make so make many drifters, including spectators, happy and satisfied from our events.

COLAB will always be looking for ways to improve the way we run our events because we are drifters ourselves and we know what we want/need. We will never moving and changing how we do things. We want to follow our motto to its true roots: "Live like you mean it"

So please if everyone can post up a review of how our events go it would be greatly appreciated. Also we are open to any kind of suggestions that anyone would have.

Here is a link that have some pictures of the past event: COLAB 10-6 Balcony | Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.378608468880861.88817.364258066982568&type=1)

Thanks again everyone!!!

So, it's officially taken me waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy too long to come back by here and say this, but I still feel obligated to.

I wanted to thank all the guys that put on this event for all your hard work, and for making it so fun for everyone. This made my third event up at balcony, and though the JD course is not news to me anymore, it's still awesome. The way you set up the beginning to allow the newer folks to get their jitters out with some donuts was a great use of track space, and made it real open for all those that wanted to use the rest of the skidpad. I also really liked how you left the track open almost all day as a single session, instead of specified run groups. Past events have left me wondering why so much time was spend funnelling people on and off the track, but this event gave me more track time than I could handle (especially since my rod knock ruined my day shortly after lunch).

I really can't even tell anyone considering coming to one of these guys' event how much track time there is. It's undescribable. Past events have given me in the league of about 20 runs in a day. This time, I think I had more than 40 under my belt heading into lunch. It was absolutely spectacular.

Really, though, the most amazing thing for me was how friendly everyone was. All the event workers had only good things to say, a grin, and some pointers, if asked. Pizza was available for drivers (and our riders, if we asked nice ;) ), as well as an infinite supply of energy drinks and water.

Honestly, the only thing I really would have liked to see change would have been riders allowed, or at least the fact that they weren't going to be allowed to be announced before I drove my girlfriend more than 4 hours up from San Diego. The open tandems almost made up for it, though. ;)

Once again, thanks, guys, for putting on a great event. I'll be back (as soon as I find a new motor...).
