I love the high speed course. Good to see known faces.

dkwasherexd · 05-03-2009, 11:26 PM

popped tires every 3 laps , went thru 5 pairs like nothing...

It was torture knowing that you guys were having the time of your life just 5 miles away.

vvtisupra · 05-04-2009, 11:00 AM

we were killing brand new Toyo R1R's in 2-3 laps max

I believe Michi Takatori was doing 5th gear clutch kicks. There definately was a lot of run time

Gordo714 · 05-04-2009, 11:32 AM

get some pics and video for the poeple that could not make it out to support you guys!!!

Paul2x · 05-04-2009, 11:53 AM

1+ for a sweet event.

Still a newb to the D-action but can't resist when it's so close to home like this.

Was awesome watchin the highspeed guys, That maroon S14 and FC were killin it.

My faveorite was drifting the Grip course.

Thanks to everyone for answering my stupid questions about tire pressue and other random newbe Q's

Nice meeting everyone,

-Paul

scoobyjoe · 05-04-2009, 04:24 PM

Great event with plenty of seat time.

Croan · 05-04-2009, 10:30 PM

yay, i thought the big drift course with the huge sweeper was freaking awesome!

what are some of your favorite things about the event, and

what would you like to see done differently

& would you go if we did it again next month

The big sweeper on the big course was awesome but I was completly lost before it, after the first two turns but, that was probably just my Newbe-ness getting the best of me.

Favorite was drifting the Grip course, nice 3rd gear sweepers.

Loved the fact that everything was structured yet very open to do what ever you wanted.

Ride alongs were no issue, Open advice from seasoned Vet's everywhere on tap,

It was awesome!

and YES, I would defently go again next month, and would bring more friends!

Best D event i've done to date (but can't say much b/c that was only my 3 event

)

Keep these up and I may take a break from roadracing

It was a blast!

Croan · 05-05-2009, 12:32 AM

yea paul i never got to meet you but i did see your s15 get down on the grip course!!wooh!

pic from gary.suk from socal-drift website

longdy · 05-05-2009, 12:56 AM

wow.. i missed out on good event!!.. good to see that el toro is back!!!

I would like to see more run way, maybe top of 5th as an option for those who wish to do it.

Other than that, it was a great layout. A bit hard to see it with cones at first.

Yes, I would do next month with friends. Hell this month would be good too.

JohnJohn86 · 05-05-2009, 09:45 AM

We need some support or sponsor for tires, like discount or sth. It just eats tires too damn fast. My KA got 3-4 runs out of brand new tires before they pop.

what tires are you running and at what pressure? I run ka also and I was on the big course all day tires lasted me about 15 runs? I was on throttle the whole time.

foreverdark · 05-05-2009, 11:43 AM

I also would definately come back next month if its $80 bucks again and we can tandem if we have cages!

Yes due to the underpower KA, we kinda created our own course. We skipped every manji cones on the first half of the course, we accelerated straight down the straightaway till top of 3rd or 4th gear(thats how long is takes to get up to 90mph, lol), then did a high speed drift through the right sweeper in the end, then manji in the back straight at 3rd gear, that way the left rear tire will only last 5 runs MAX in my KA.
