Can't wait

[Dousan_PG]

NO FLYBERT!!, Fly what is wrong?

[k's_silvia2.0]

his car will rule the earth

^:bite: I can't wait!

[Flybert]

Flyert don't forget the coils dog, I hope you resolved your prob

Looks like our hatch will me making another appearance, Jason's coupe still not finished. Putting a for sale sign on the hatch.

I'll send them up with Aaron because I won't be there. With the date change, I couldn't make it and my car won't be ready in time as well.

Forrest has the HTM title right now because he won last time. I have two wins there but the belt goes to the last winner. I hope Forrest drives so he can try to keep the title. John Russakoff might be there and that guy is amazing on HTM so we'll see. Dousan, mattycakes, mickie, jason, jeff j., miata jeff will also be tough guys to beat in the top 8. Damnit. I'm missing out big time.

[RMJmotor]

Well maybe we'll see you at All-star bash

[Flybert]

Well maybe we'll see you at All-star bash

No way in hell I'm missing that.

[mangoes]

i was very happy to have participated and run with all my boys again
awesome job everyone!

[hitman]

first was matt with big wing
second was jeff jones! in his grandma's car he borrowed it for the event (kidding)
third was podium placer semi finalist drift competitor tommy roberts (gold coupe)

[Flybert]

AHAHAHAHA i knew matt was going to kill it. He had the line down at his first practice event. Wish I could have seen the tandem battle between everyone.

[RMJmotor]

Fly, Jason got number 1 qualifier into top 16 and top 8, finished forth, it was a sweet event man.

[Flybert]

Yeah, I heard all about it from Aaron. He must have been driving his ass off. I hope there will be some video. What were the top 8 tandem matchups?

[RMJmotor]

all i remember is that Jason and Cody batteled it out, I cant remember the other match ups

[uthemofo]

I battled the guy in the Black kouki with an RB from hawii, then tommy roberts in his gold coupe, then jeff jones!!!! that name just sounds so sick. HAHA
thanks, great event, kick ass time, kick ass people

thanks
Matt Field (big wing guy) LOL at that every time

[turns101]

SO far it looks like it was my turbo that fried.
Did a test on the coolant and there was no exhaust in it.

I still need to do a compression test and shit, but I hope its just the turbo.
If not, it will liekly be the bottom end :(

Good driving everyone. Looked like there were alot of car problems yesterday.

Good driving podium guys!!!!

[RMJmotor]

Turns, keep us posted

[RMJmotor]

Any more video? How about the pics?

[drift-it]

Loads of talent yet again, I never get bored watching top drift. Congrats to the podium finishers. http://www.vimeo.com/952827

[MrWhite]

Cool event, thanks JD crew and judges!

Creds to well deserved podium guys and a big "sweet driving man!!!" to Jason / RMJ Motorsports coupe driver for insanely artistic lines in qualifying. Sad for Miata-Jeff (hope it´s only the turbo man) and thanks to Vegas-Josh for the help bleeding my clutch the day before.

Really awesome for me to get to try out the City Tire drift car, especially at HTM. Now I´m looking forward to more sideways seat time!

And a special thanks to Miguel/RMJ Motorsports for supporting my roll-cage work on my stock 350Z which I originally was planning to drive.

[RMJmotor]

Thanks Carl, you rocked man, now go kick some butt in Germany

[Ryu8200]

Thanks Carl, I think I'm going to have to tattoo that on my arm "sweet man" :)
Let me know when your next pratice is so we can both pratice tandem.
You did a great job just jumping in a car you had never driven and a track you had never driven.
Till Next time
Jason

[Flybert]

You did a great job just jumping in a car you had never driven and a track you had never driven.

That's what carl does best. He's a natural.

[DudeYourSoOOJDM]

Good Job everyone as always...Competition was on point! Mad props to Jason for killing it in qualifying, Jeff Jones for driving the hell out of a stock-ish car, Big Wing dude for your Hariguchi like downhill runs (FUCKING AWESOME! btw). Oh and Tommy, his car is so sick looking! I wish I hadn't fucked up on our first tandem run....It would've been awesome to maybe get a one more time!

So me and Forrest rented out balcony on Monday. We were running this killer line through what is usually the grid. Hit the bullring, then as you're coming through the grid upshift to third, jump sideways flip to the back section. As we're about to run Tandem, BOom! Tranny blows up.

[Dousan_PG]

u blew ur tranny mickie? hahahah
AH MAN! taht sucks!

[DudeYourSoOOJDM]

Yeah....I know! it lasted 6 years though....And I'm pretty sure it's just shift forks, if I take it apart I bet it could be fixed. Either way, time for motor pull and cleany uppy of engine bay. I'm long due for motor mounts, and I'm pretty sure SR's aren't supposed to do the "shaker". Need to stitch weld, paint, get up to Team Facial Gangster Status.

[RMJmotor]

that does suk, kinda funny we were just taking about how long both of our trannies have lasted, lol

You'll get it fixed

[Crono562]

Damn that sucks Mickie but I know youll get it fixed, meantime welcome to the club of getting your car gangsturized for ASB, haha!

[newblood]

I wish I could have been out there this weekend but I had a trip planned for that weekend. I'll see you out at the next few rounds and ASB.
