Don't worry, not directed at you or at anyone in particular. Just... pointing out fallacies of internet use.

HAHA that was... Drift Day 5. May 25, 2003. First ever Drift Day Competition. Won by Ryan Hampton, Calvin Wan got 2nd place. I ended up 3rd, baffling everyone including the course workers... The trophy is on my bookcase...

This was before tandem events were even allowed at events... heck, this was before people had dedicated drift events at tracks (it was mostly just SpeedTrial USA's group C filled with Drift Day people and staff).

But seriously folks, stop comparing parking lot events to events at the track. We should be glad we have events available within reasonable driving distances of the LA area now, especially after both Irwindale AND California Speedway gave us the boot. No, it is not a super advanced course... but for many of us, events at venues like El Toro means 1) more options are available for beginners to learn and not have to tow 100 miles to go home, and 2) other groups and property management being receptive of drifting.

I mean, the same can't be said for Altamont... who knows how much time we have left @ El Toro with the speed that they're dismantling the base?

whaaaaat???? No more competition?? Nooooo gooooood.......sigh...I wonder how im going to get enough tire for HTM lol...

Wei240 · 06-15-2007, 10:41 AM

htm is a track, surface is smooooooth,
i went the entire day and still had 80% left from brand new tires

with that 80%, i went thru el toro and ate it all up in less than 2 hours...

it's not that el toro is bad (i think the worst one is in camirillo airport lot?), it's just that wsir is smooth

but back on to this thread,
it seems like the beginner comp is interesting, novices who don't spin out = me, hopefully it's postponed to el toro again...

Sorry for any confusion. The Private Drift event for the June 23rd is still on like Donkey Kong, but it's only and only the June 24th Comp that's been postponed. I"m bummed too.

So there's still plenty of spots left for the sat. event. So sign up people.

The Private drift event on Sat. June 23rd has now been pushed back to Sunday June 24th.

I'm sorry for the trouble this may have caused on the people who already signed up for the 23rd event. I hope everyone can re-schedule and still make the event on the 24th. Thank you for your understanding.
