Impact: Making Colorado Not Suck

[denvemolorado]

I imagine very few people will read/see this, but to those of you who do...

Colorado = huge fail right now, imo...lets fix this. I've posted a bit on codrift.org, so some of you may know me.

I work at Pikes Peak International Raceway in Fountain and I want to create a bitchin drift community / scene here in Colorado. I know there's a lot of you guys out there and I know you've been gettin the shaft lately (or so I hear) from certain people in control.

I know PPIR is hella far from everyone, but we need a solid anchor to bring this club back to life. I have been working with my boss to get weekly or every other weekly sessions going where anyone can come down, pay about 30 bucks and just have fun/learn/whatever. Open format, a few cones, not a full day deal. If you just wanna come down, drink beer and talk shit, that's cool too.

First though, we need to obviously restore communication between everyone again. I don't know what's up with the codrift.org site, but it's been off and on lately and I think there is a lack of motivation behind it.

So, ideas, opinions, rants? Anyone?

[flashlight_garage]

codrift has been around for a good long time, i joined like back in summer 01 originally, and had like two other names due to forgetation of passwords, but anyway, its been around for a good minute, since some of us used to go try to push our cars off a certain mountain road...it should come back

[ErocKs13]

i might be moving to the denver area with my coupe for college in the next few months. it would be nice meeting some of the locals if i do.

[denvemolorado]

yea man, the more the merrier

should start our regular practice sessions pretty soon - come out and meet everyone and play around!

[dub40sx]

Hey. You need to post more info about this or make a way so more people can figure out whats up with this.

I would come out and mob that shit weekly if it was solid.


Lemme know and im working on a forum for people in the midwest to just communicate on. Its not vehicle/motorsport specific. Its just cool shit in the midwest.

Ill update you on it when I work out some shit.

[midnight zenki]

To the OP: thanks for posting, I know there were some events planned through CODrift.org but like you said since it died were fucked. RM240sx seems to be down as well so this forum should become the main avenue to open up communication again for the area.

Due to work I've never attened an event but like the appeal of the PPIR set up described in the first post.

[yeti303]

[denvemolorado]

I'm glad to see people moving TO Colorado, it's a great place. I don't work at PPIR anymore, moved to Texas (mistakes 1 & 2, haha), but moving back home just after christmas. PPIR was fun, except for huge cracks in the asphalt, it was pretty nice. Look forward to meeting you guys.

[yeti303]

[revcyanide]

haven't checked this thread, im out here now. as of the 8th.
registered on hotmustard and conoc

[redds14guy]

dont know much about colorado except that im moving there within the next 2 weeks with my zenki so im excited to see what the CO has to offer with the drift scene

[Z_Spool]

Cool, where in the 909 you from? Where in CO you moving and what for?

I'm originally from Orange County, but live in Denver now. Definitely check out hotmustard.org for the local drift scene. Also try to keep July 3rd open to come hang out at Pike Peak Intl. Raceway in Fountain, CO and check out some CO drifting in person. It's a much smaller scene than in CA, but with time and exposure of the sport I'm sure it'll continue to progress into something much bigger and better.

[redds14guy]

I'm from Pomona then i lived in Brea for a little bit and now im about to move out to Aurora, Co to live with my aunt for a while mainly so i can getta change of scene and see what else is out there. I'll fursure check out hotmustard and mos def see whats goin down at Pike Peak Raceway. Thanks for the hospitality

[ship2236]

I'm from Cali on my way to move to golden outside of Denver as I type this. Really bummed about this move and even more bummed about what I saw as far as the car scene when I visited. Does it exist at all? Am I gonna be an outcast with my slammed coupes? Does anyone slide? Lol. Hmu... Also in need of a t28 or bigger....lmk

[S13.75DET]

I just got my s13.4 coupe out to the mtns. Looking to get my car on the track once i finish the build. If you guys ever want to do a mtn tour lemme know, i know of some sick roads to slide around on up here. def want to come down and check out pikes sometime, just too busy working these days. hopefully this thread doesn't die out..

[cesar8085]

I just bought a s14 and would like to meet some people with 240's i don't really see any at all. I live by i70 & chambers important about to Do a sr20 swap or Rb25 and would like to meet someone to help me on wiring. ..I can pay. ..Thanks

[revcyanide]

check out www.hotmustard.org (http://www.hotmustard.org)
wordd of warning, don't be an idiot.
the people there are awesome but you will need to have a tough skin, take nothign seriously and dont be a jackass.

also www.conoc.com (http://www.conoc.com) but thats mostly car meets/some autox, and its alright but a little unfrequented and boring for my taste TBH. a little too PG.

anyway, you are comin in at the tail end of the drift season but a few more AWESOME events going on, this one included


shamless self plug, im on this flyer haha.

[FinkenS14]

The Colorado scene is huge.

[FinkenS14]

Watch the vids gives u a pretty good idea of what we got to offer. HighAltitudeVideos.com (http://www.highaltitudevideos.com/)

[jdo180]

hello all
been In CO for about 2years
but just now getting my 180 together

would love to get up with some other nissan guys/girls
hit me up if u got time

canyon run anyone ????

[Z_Spool]

The Colorado scene is huge.

don't lie to the kids, it's far from huge. :P

[joeapple8]

I'd love to move back to Colorado, but so many things about Denver and Colorado springs make me not want to go back. The absolute fact that they don't have any Jack In The Box or In and Out burger makes me want to stay in California, I'm thinking about moving as of now but I'd like to see how the scene is over there before I pack up and drive my 240sx there, the crime rate in Colorado Springs is much higher than where I am from also steers me away from coming back. :(

[revcyanide]

Don't live by Fort Carson, and you will never see any crime.
That is where the "ghetto" is. Where i live i never worry about any sort of crime.


Also, I am from AZ, i LOVE jack in the box and in n out.

We have culvers. culvers fucking destroys them both.

[joeapple8]

I also hate the fact I would have to drive 30-50 mins for some decent Pho... but any ways the scene doesn't look half bad, really considering it since rent is going to be 3/4 cheaper than what I pay here, I'm going to start looking at jobs they offer in the Springs and Boulder area.

Another thing, I'm an Asian coming out of the bay area, I don't think

http://www.yelp.com/biz/bikini-xpresso-colorado-springs

Will cut it for me, some one please tell me there are some Vietnamese Cafes around? LOL

I need this stuff

[revcyanide]

There is, none ive tried though.
nothing can compare to what ive had back in PHX.


HOWEVER
i can show you a BOMB place for Boba milk tea in the springs. it's actually inside a mall, but its legit and owned by an asian guy who barely speaks english.

theres a coffee shop downtown that has good boba too.




If you are a beer drinker, we have the best beer i've ever had here.

[joeapple8]

Which mall? I don't think I will ever go back to the Citadel mall, when I was 16 I saw some one get stabbed right in front of me... Fuck that, even though I'm from Cali, that shit was intense...

[revcyanide]

no, chapel hills mall. I never go to the citidel mall.


It's the one up near the academy.

[Bing Bong]

there is some decent ones in the springs where i live but ya i just moved out here 6 months ago and im trying to find reasons to bring my car so is there is track days or meets can any one help me out

[Z_Spool]

Really dude? did you need to post the same thing in 3 separate threads as well as starting your own? You're in springs, which sucks, but at least you won't have to drive far for the events at PPIR.

Check Hotmustard.org for local drift info, (NWS) Triple Crown Drift and Drift Colorado for upcoming events. Now get your car out here and stop whining.
