tnord is an unknown quantity at this point
i suppose i can't argue about Super Sucks involvement in track activities down in socal, but i can say that if that's the only place they have any kind of significant influence, then their support is merely a drop in the bucket. especially when you consider that they are drawing in "drivers" from a small area of the country, and from a very small age group on top of that. the percentage of people that attend events because they saw it in Super Street are probably less than 1% of the total number of participants across the country. also, the super street crowd's level of dedication and long term commitment is yet to be proven. i would venture to say it is just a passing fad for them.

what exactly is on these option vids? mostly people sliding around sideways right?

also.......if you want to discuss assumptions, i think that's a rather large ASSumption on your part to claim the significant role of option vids essentially feeding drivers to amatuer and professional series.

if you're including "drift competitions" into the road racing category, please don't.

your comment about my "issues" stemming from geographical location i think have nothing to do with it. i'm from Minnesota, and i think i'm very similar to racers from coast to coast.....just ask the others on this forum, and any other if you wish.......a racing driver is a racing driver.
