once again i must say it, i hate you, your so god damn lucky, gar... if only i lived in Cali :(

[kurissuS13]

it was a very enjoyable expierience. i just wish i remembered to bring some friggin suntan lotion. :( i don't think i can actually call this my first drift event, i never got my car sideways. understeer powerslide the whole time. argh!!! not even with the friggin side brake! my technique blows donkeys. all the more reason to look forward to DD5 in May. :D and, those yellow "JDM Conversion" stickers were really cool. they sealed up the huge crack in my front bumper nicely. if u saw a blue FC with a yellow X on the front bumper, that'd be me. :p

the competition side looked great! did they change the track layout at the last moment? it didn't look like the one in the map previously posted in club4ag. it's good to see that the Battleversion guy won the event. he shoulda won the last two events as well, but third time's a charm, right? oh, Hayashida and Orido ROCKED!!! they were pulling of the craziest stuff with the greatest of ease. and Orido, or was it Hayashida, at the end just drifting all those different cars was just plain spectacular. Rhys Millen kinda stole the show, tho. he made AWD drift and donuts look easy and simple. btw, at the end, were they actually givin rides to anyone?

dousan, do u kno someone named clarence with a red supra? i'm wondering if ur the guy he says he knows in these drift competitions.

[Dousan_PG]

YEP! clarence is my good friend from work. cool guy. i sucked so i felt bad he saw that. hahha..he's coming out to DD5 to ride w/ me and see if its something he'd like to get into. cool as ****. nice guy.

seriously, i really dont suck as much as i did today. bad luck. :(

[curbhuggerrps13]

i got jealouse seein people in the z and supra :mad: lol jp i will develop the pics ...damn digital camera was low on batteries and i say congrats to all those who entered and it wouldnt be possible withoutall the fans ...like me!!!!:cool:

haha, cool. i was gonna offer him to try to drift the FC i was usin, since the course workers in the practice course didn't really care and i already let both his brothers try, but he left to look for u at the main event. i think he said he's prty interested into getting into drifting. he's telling his bro, my friend, to get a S13 now that his talon broke down.

yeah, you're right about your performance today. u still did good, but u looked much better at last month's showoff. here's to DD5! :D

[nismo_sr20_wut]

The event was great, and getting orido's autograph on the drift shirt was the highlight of my day, and i also got him on video when i was right next to his 350z on his way to a run giving me a thumbs up, insert bliss here ---> :D heres some pics.

[octane103]

yeah, it was nice to see a new Z get thrown around.

props to dousan and anybody else actually out there on the track.
even a bad day on the track is better than a good day spectating!

[nismo_sr20_wut]

last pic.....these are the rsr flags that everyone was trying to take home, then security came and took them all back, I hope the japanese guys dont think that americans are thieves LOL!

[sykikchimp]

so when are you guys gonna get video of this stuff? Isn't that kind of the whole point of Drifting? To show off!!! :D

[KiDyNomiTe]

where are the action pics :D

[drift into a curb]

LOL, the driver of the yellow FD was not the smartest.. he opened his radiator cap to add some more coolant when it was still hot! Can you imagine what happened? WOOOSH, fluid spurted all over the place. :p I was at the practice section, understeering the first half of the day. Finally, I think it was Dave from Club4ag (well he drives an 86) helped me out with a few pointers, and i was getting my car sideways. I kept on letting off on the throttle too quickly and you know what happens.. SNAP the car wants to straighten out. With only two hours of sleep, the event was still GREAT.
As for everyone else, adey did great on the skidpad, tearing it up going round and round until he busted his radiator booo, you make it home all right? Danny was pulling some clean drifts on the two practice courses nice style. Dousan I saw you run a couple times, looks good, but didn't look as fast as the others.

Oh well, practice practice. Hope everyone had as much fun

I blew my radiator up (had to have the car towed in the end) last run of the morning (pre-lunch) and couldn't do anything the rest of the day but stand in the DEAD crowd and yell my lungs out even though no one else was cheering. :mad: So now, I'm sunburnt, bummed that the crowd sucked a s s, and am one 240sx short of what I started the day with.

although they're probably not on here, I have to extend a HUGE thanks to Mark (red ae86 coupe) and his two friends steve and (????) for helping me out when I blew the radiator just off the skid pad. You guys were super helpful!
Even though the JB weld didn't hold for a second on the radiator, I'm glad to see that the drift culture here is taking after that of Japan in the friendliness of participants! :)

[CAPTAINNEO]

i have some pics up in another discussion...check out:

AHHH SORRY TO HEAR THAT!!!!! :(

yes we do have that friendliness! DEFINATELY
i sat up w/ the other competitors against the wall talking cheering and OOOOHing at the final 10. it was great. probably had more cheers up there then the spectators (except the people in the stands, THEY cheered MUCH more)

anyways, it was fun. i enjoyed going and getting a ride (still so cool to do that, i wish i digital camera at the time-in car vid haha)

[CAPTAINNEO]

i talked with the guy at the entrance about the excess shirts. he said that they'd give them all away to the drivers at the end of the event. i came at the end of the event, and they had already left! the lying bastard!!! i ended up jacking a shirt from my friend. :D

[pruto]

i went up to them at the end, the punk was like, this the last shirt bud, $50 bucks.

ARGH, stupid punks!

[Brian]

ahha good to sorta meet you Toso. i should have had a big hat like yours, my baseball hat sucked.

[knightrider]

yea, drivers kinda got shafted, no sticker, no shirt, i was kinda ****ed,

[adey]

Haha yeah! that was me! I was the dork going off my head next to toso. :D
dousan- yeah, I heard a lot more cheering from the grand stands as well. I don't know what was up with the crowd that day. oh well. Let's hope future events bring better crowds.
