This means bad news. This really sucks to hear. Means more MEDIA attention...more Takumi wannabes...more cliffhangers...more deaths....more cops. I mean it does sounds like a cool event to go to. But man, it kinda sucks to hear. Just more attention that doesnt not need to be had. But I guess it was bound to happen. And I guess its like not One individual person owns the damn mountains. aaarrghh anyhow..rant rant...sucks to hear.

You know, no matter what it says on the site, I see very little chance for them to get actual permission to run there. Imagine the cost of insurance, etc. for an event like that.

pruto · 04-07-2004, 11:30 PM

hmmm, irc, back in the day (96?), option video got permission to close off a portion of a socal mountain pass to do a special.

its certainly doable.

true, but Option is a more established organization and probably more funding...

not saying SocalRace Club wouldnt do it, they might with enough funding, but both SocalRace Club and Option is like comparing apples to oranges

DoriftoSlut · 04-08-2004, 01:38 AM

Whoa. 5 days notice for such a "big" event? Too bad. Im still in Hawaii visiting my fam. Maybe my trip would have been planned better if I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS with a normal timeframe for a competition. Tsk tsk. Oh well, hopefully there will be others. And hopefully somewhere other than a parking lot? Besides the ultra JDM touge of course.

Flybert · 04-08-2004, 02:02 AM

I don't know if it's just me but this event sounds like a something put on by people that are only concerned about making money off of drifting. They say that people will get sponsored and stuff but for what, performance parts, neon underglow, apc tail lights, tires? No details. Just saying that you'll be filmed and that you can join their special drift team. Plus, it seems like this is put on by a bunch of people in the show car crowd. Anyone else see the sketchyness in this event?

+1 for post whoring weeeee. I hope those that registered get enough seat time since I bet everyone and their mama is probably trying to get in.

*CleanS14* · 04-08-2004, 08:58 AM

Yep... definitely not put together by drift enthusiasts concerned with seat time!!! But then again Chris you can't knock them by making a dime or 2 at the event... you know how hard it is to come out on the plus side on these things...

I just feel bad for the drivers... unless of course you're good and make it to the TOUGE!!! hahahahhaahaha

Closing off a section of Touge isn't too hard... I've looked into it... but yes insurance is INSANE!!! Especially since it's not like the Hot Version touge shiz where things are fenced up and stuff in certain areas... well at least that's what they told me...

TRUENOCOUPE · 04-08-2004, 01:38 PM

Ieatshit = Jay? hahahah

HyperTek · 04-08-2004, 01:56 PM

oh well, i signed up without thinking.. I dont mind starting out at a small event like this, if it does promise seat time.

HyperTek · 04-08-2004, 02:06 PM

About the touge, you guys have a good point as to why it would be bad to commercialize that. Ive felt that way alot about drifting and how the announcers at big drift events would always say "240s are cheap, drifting is a cheap sport to get into blah blah" look at hondas, before in teh 90's, it was original to fix up a honda, you could go to a import show and appreciate the cars since they wherent as stupid and ghey as they are now, more on performance based.. then more and more magazines and media coverage got it, and now everybody and there momma has altezza taillights and every lil kid wants to be Brian O'conner.

kazuo · 04-08-2004, 03:11 PM

Y'all act like Azusa is this secret that nobody knows about...

It's been blown up already so its not like we're going to lose anything if that little "event" occurs.

adey · 04-08-2004, 11:47 PM

Is this a small DD style event, or is it going to be more of a competition? I don't like the sounds of "eliminatior competition" ... to crap drivers like me that sounds like "less seat time".

GIVE US MORE INFO!!!!

SpeedMonkeyInc · 04-09-2004, 10:39 AM

I saw the schedule for the day and now I am worried that I am going to get knocked out early in the day and not get to drive much. I signed up for this event a long time ago.
I will post Sat night or Sunday how this event went.

pruto · 04-09-2004, 12:52 PM

where did you see the schedule? i'm signed up, cause, well, i'm bored and i got the itch....

MrMigs · 04-11-2004, 12:23 PM

Event seemed really cool. it was small, but the coordinator was really nice. I just showed up to watch, but he let me do 2 runs before closing-time. nice guy.

SpeedMonkeyInc · 04-11-2004, 03:10 PM

The event got off to a pretty rough start. But after the course design was fixed it was a lot of fun. I got a ton of track time in. Definatly worth the money.

ISTOTOSAO · 04-11-2004, 03:20 PM

I also got in a ton of time. enough to go through two sets of used tires on smooth asphalt. horrible begining. I got to finally meet people because of it though.

speedmonkey: black s14 right? I forgot your name though. This is steven with the black primered s13. you did great by the way.

In the end it was a good day.

SpeedMonkeyInc · 04-11-2004, 03:48 PM

Thanks! I had fun. Learned alot too.
I don't remeber wich car yours was? So many S13s.....Give me some other details so I can rember you. The name is Matt.

sideviewcivic · 04-11-2004, 04:47 PM

steve's was the stock height grey coupe on velox looking wheels. damn steve that clutch wuz extreme stiff. shit i cant wait to get mine......haha

gotta make those tires center pieces to show off to the ladies.....

sideviewcivic · 04-11-2004, 04:51 PM

hopefully i can be out there for D-day on the 24th in tha skid pad area....

pruto · 04-11-2004, 05:39 PM

yeah, but you know, if 55 people actually did show up for this event, it woulda totally sucked. It was a good event strictly because it was small and everyone got a lot of track time.

They need better organization, more people, and more planning if they want to do an event for anything bigger than 30 people.

HyperTek · 04-11-2004, 05:51 PM

yah I had tons of fun and learned alot too. If anyone remembers me by my signature. Event was filmed by somebody (they said ESPN but who knows). Oh yah, no S2000s or any of the FWD cars that where on the list showed up so I think that might have been used as promotion since I know a guy with a S2k and his name was on there and so was his friends name but they didnt know anything about this event. But yah, the event didnt seem too organized at the beginning, but you did get tons of track time. I was like the only person out there with open diff, but I learned alot in how to tame it. Now OEM VLSD isnt looking too bad for me now.. lol

Next event they are planing to be held in the infield at Irwindale, some of thier sponsers couldnt make it to this event so hopefully next time. I guess what they really are doing is trying to spot out who they wanna grab for sponsership, could be why its a private event.

Id be damned tho if they really do this Azusa run as a way of grabbing someone to use to flim a scene in a movie like the next fast and furious.. who knows, they could be up to something, seeing how on their forums they had a forum for "fast and furious music tour" or something like that. haha
