Its a little early to be thinking about this but I just thought I'd throw it out there to get an idea of how many people are going to make the drive down in august. I'm leaving friday (29th) morning so theres enough time to check in and relax when we get there. Anyone else down?

nokeone · 07-06-2003, 05:19 PM

definately going...i know my friend Scott (RBS14) is also...although uncertain right now as to when exactly we will be going down..

s13chica · 07-06-2003, 11:34 PM

Count me in! I'd be down to drive with a group...it always makes things a little more interesting.

looked like it was set up pretty damn well..

how was the post party?..i passed out when i got home..

..hope you had fun though..

ootranceformeroo · 07-07-2003, 12:39 AM

Im down...but I dont know when school starts though.

DRFT · 07-07-2003, 01:50 AM

I might be down too but i also don't know when school starts. Its going to be one hell ofa drive...I remember driving to DRfit Showoff...

6 hour drive and another hour just to find the track.

RBS14 · 07-07-2003, 02:19 AM

Yeah i'm going down. School starts for me on the 27th but i'm hoping my parental units will let me skip the first couple days, not likely tho.

I don't know if i wanna go down on the 29th tho. Not sure yet, too far ahead.

-Nokeone* please refer to me as Juan from now on. (or i'll kill u in ur sleep)

I had a blast at DD6...the car handled like a champ after we adjusted the camber, but in the begining the front end was pushing out really hard. It was funny because when Luke and I were standing by the car everyone would ask him if it was his car, and when he said no, they were always SOOOOOOOO suprised that it was mine.

It was my first time ever drifting my car, so I had a blast learning how to e-brake properly, and clutch kick. Everyone was super nice to me, and really supportive.

I was afraid that DD7 was the weekend my dad was getting married, but I found out that it's not, so I signed up yesterday!

awesome..

how'd your tires hold up?..was that ground horribly rough or what?..and bumpy as all hell...lol..beggers can't be chosers i know..

..but i went completely through 4 tires..oh well..guess i know what i'm spending money on before the next event..

sLiDewAys · 07-07-2003, 04:08 PM

-thanks for the jello shot georgia. but any way. after i left the DD6 party, my bois and i hit up 152. i never knew pushin my car while buzzin was soo fun : ). lol but yeah. where are you all going to meet for the 6+ trip???

s13chica · 07-07-2003, 06:02 PM

Nokeone-I ddin't have a chance to meet moto...although I did geta marrage proposal to from a sponsered hawaiian drifter. (the guy who drove my car)

And after he drove my car like that I almost accepted..hehehehe

I only ended burning through 2 tires...but 100 bucks for the event+130 for the tires=an expensive day. I really shouldn't complain though, since it was worth every penny.

The backside of the main track was very rough...since my car has such stiff suspension I was getting thrown all over the place. Plus, it made it much more difficult to correct without power stearing. I WILL have that taken care of by DD7!

kalieaire · 07-07-2003, 06:55 PM

go charter a bus.

NZO · 07-08-2003, 03:49 PM

Meh, cant edit original post but we're going down on the 30th, no the 29th since the event is on 8/31. I was a little confused there.

NZO · 08-22-2003, 02:11 AM

Yar, resurrecting this. Any interest?

drifting240sx · 08-22-2003, 11:00 AM

im definately in.

nokeone · 08-22-2003, 12:12 PM

looks like i will be missing this event...

..stupid engagement party...

s13chica · 08-22-2003, 06:15 PM

Nokeone...sucks that you can't come to the event.

RBS14 · 08-22-2003, 09:22 PM

its alright nokeone can't go, he's only in it for the bling bling effect.

I'm definately going down, bought my ticket today. Christian, when are you planning on heading down?

anthony240 · 08-22-2003, 10:27 PM

Hey, I'm leaving on Saturday morning (8/30). I'm gonna be staying at the Four Points Sheraton in Monrovia, which is like 5min from the track. There's a bunch of hotels/motels there (Huntington Dr). Anyone gonna be stayin there? I'm in Tracy, so I5 is my backyard. I'm leaving at 6am, but i'm up for a caravan. Unless some of you are taking the 101. let me know, if nothing comes up, i'm out at 6. see you guys there.

NZO · 08-23-2003, 12:51 AM

Bah sry nokeone cant make it.

Scott Im going down on the 30th but havent decided what time. 6am is pretty early for me, plus its only like a 4hr drive. You sure you wanna leave so early Anthony?

Me and my buddies are also staying at the 4 points in monrovia; we stayed there last time and its a good place. Very close to the track. I know of at least one other person from FA who will be staying there as well so Im sure we wont be the only ones. We can have a minimeet in the parkinglot

Anyway, I wouldnt really mind leaving at 6am although it is kinda early as we would get to LA at 10am, is there something going on early that day that I dont know about? Any opinions on time?

PS Im planning on taking 5 like we did last time.

kazuo · 08-23-2003, 03:02 PM

Guys,

I am gonna roll out on saturday, probably after 5PM... I have work the day before the event, so I'll prolly be driving down by myself. I'm takin' I5.

Anyone wanna come with me?

nokeone · 08-23-2003, 05:57 PM

anthony240 · 08-23-2003, 07:06 PM

yea, you're right NZO, last time I went I left at 6am and made it at 10am. Nothing really going on, I just wanna arrive before lunch so I can eat there. Oh, but I am visiting Phase 2, I'm picking up a couple of parts, but I don't know yet what time they want me there, they're closed Saturday, but Luke said he'll have em for me. Maybe more info later on this week (1 more week!!!). I'm definitely down for a caravan cuz I'm driving by myself. What time did you have in mind?

NZO · 08-23-2003, 09:33 PM

I dont really have a concrete time in mind but I do want to leave earlyish. If we leave at 8 well still get there around lunch time. Just let me know what you want to do and when you need to be at phase2. We also want to go check out the autobacs and I was thinking of doing that on the afternoon of the 30th because we'll probably be too tired to do it on the way home on the 1st.

gotrice240sx · 08-24-2003, 12:56 AM

im in but i have to work on sat till 5 and i have to get monday off but other then that im in. so is everyone just spectating or is anyone in it? is anyone else leaving sat night? NZO are u taking ur s14 down there?

ootranceformeroo · 08-24-2003, 02:01 PM

Im in too! just need to get my ticket. Let us know wassup. I want to check out super autbacs too! Man from the pics people have taken so far that place looks great! I wonder how close it will be from the ones in japan.

NZO · 08-24-2003, 02:41 PM

Daniel right on, thats cool that you can make it. Are you just going to skip the first day of classes?

kazuo said he was leaving around 5 also gotrice so you could drive down with him. And yea im taking my s14.

ootranceformeroo · 08-24-2003, 10:33 PM

yeah well first day starts tomarrow and after the frist week it's labor day weekend and we have monday off i think. I can make it now. ALl i need is a way to get there but i might go with my cousin jordan or some friends. Depending on when they want to leave we might caravan there. who knows until i find out.

gotrice240sx · 08-24-2003, 10:49 PM
