This event isn't affiliated with D1... FormulaD though. You don't automatically get a license if you win... you get a chance and advance to the Nationals if you place.

ranger2339 · 08-01-2006, 09:20 PM

You guys going to be doing this next yr 2007???? If so im in.....

If you can replace it doooo it! So you can slide the bank... the surface is slippery to a point, but you still need some good power to keep it going. Good to know you've got another option though!!!

George and Xander can slide the bank (pre-remodel) with mostly stock sohc engines. It was wild to see, since then many regulars of altamont have mastered the technique.

Perhaps its less difficult to drift now that the track is slippy..

*CleanS14* · 08-01-2006, 09:37 PM

Yah I'm aware of what George, Xander and Sonny can do out there at AMP... but I wouldn't say it's less difficult to drift not that it's slippery... might be harder cuz there is a certain amount of grip involved.

We shall see on the 26th won't we!!!

santacruisin · 08-02-2006, 03:39 PM

sliding the whole bank is definately for experienced drivers only!! Even then disaster strikes (*cough* Al *cough*). For noobs like me its better to initiate at the white line at the bank exit and work your way back from there. Even though I had little track time on the bank (group C got shafted big time) I still found myself initiating earlier in the bank as the day went on.

The tsuisou rounds are gonna be funny cuz andrenaline is gonna take over and people are gonna go beyond their abilities. Should make for some good crash pics!

gbond15 · 08-02-2006, 04:28 PM

unfortunatly i don't think ill be attending this event. hopefully someone from norcal will take home the win.

*CleanS14* · 08-02-2006, 04:31 PM

Whaaaaa George!!! Do what you gotta do brotha... good luck!!!

*DJPimpFlex* · 08-02-2006, 06:35 PM

Geroge...wtf...Come on man....I was expecting you to win this thing...

*CleanS14* · 08-03-2006, 02:31 PM

This is only some of them... there is more goodness to come!!!

Prizes will be awarded to the top 8 drivers!!!

blu808 · 08-03-2006, 04:39 PM

*CleanS14* · 08-03-2006, 04:42 PM

Dousan_PG · 08-07-2006, 01:34 PM

aah jay i dont think i can make it now
my car still isnt back together and i dont seeit being done till end of aug/early sep
you know how it goes.
sorry!

*CleanS14* · 08-07-2006, 04:07 PM

NO worries man... I'm in the same boat with my car... I'll likely see you at a JD event!!!

blu808 · 08-08-2006, 04:19 AM

Are you going to compete this year? I thought you were building a show car? Please tell me i get to drift against your beast.

BTW. I Heard you were like fully building you car. Cant wait to see how it turns out. If it is better than your last one you will be a millionare.

blu808 · 08-08-2006, 04:21 AM

BTW. S14 FTW FYI Imho.

Just throw it together with what you have. It doesnt matter. No hood fenders, bumper, doors, motor. Just get it out there.

If the car is done in time... and I get a chance to shake it down; then yes, I will compete in another regional event. Man, I don't build show cars... althought they might look like it... they're all purpose built.

As for drifting against me in it... that's IF you and I were to make top8 at the same comp... they way things are going who knows if I'll make the next Pro-Am event.

Yah fully fully built... well missing a fuel cell due to time constraints... but it will be comp ready. Shiiiii I can't wait to see it either... and if you have ideas on how it will make me a millionare please share LOL!!!

Well shit. Bummer.

Jay. I was trying to say that you should just build turn key race cars, and sell em. Get each car a mag cover shot then sell it for mad skrilla.

Shit if it were that easy everyone would do it!!! I guess you just have to pick your projects wisely... and at this point in time I don't think my choice in another S14 is likely to be anything but a money pit.

Rather than plauge this thread with irrelevant info... I'll just leave it at... if we were in the domestic hot rod market... YES!!! But we're in the import market... the EVER SO CHEAP import market!!!

I have a feeling this comp will be cool!!! Can anyone say 3rd gear bank entry!!! or for the lowhp guys... NOT

sonnysmr2 · 08-08-2006, 08:15 PM

im dying to know the track layout....

Hillkill · 08-09-2006, 06:01 PM

any hints?

Hillkill · 08-19-2006, 08:35 PM

Damnit, DAmnit, Damnit, I think I blew my motor at the practice event today. Is there any way I can get a refund for the event. I kinda need the money for a new motor.:hammer: :hammer: DAmnit redline to touchy
