kanekz · 02-26-2003, 02:58 PM

well i just went to the Driftshowoff site and I am not sure if I can still sign up for the event. I will probably sign up for the novice, but it seems like the advanced package offers sooooo much more. O well.

Advanced Drifting Registration $150
Includes Drift Clinic, Advanced Track, Drift Competition Fee, FREE Lunch, (Limit 40 max)

Intermediate/Novice Drifting Registration $40
Includes Intermediate/Novice Track and Slalom course only.

Which one should I do. This will be my first event so I am thinking with going to Novice. But damn the adnvanced sounds like good stuff!! Well does anyone know if its too late to register??

Dousan_PG · 02-26-2003, 03:10 PM

sounds like still open

i would say:

go beginner/intermidiate if you want MORE track time

go advanced if ou want the clinic and less track time. you'll lose time due to the class as well as the competion.
but then again, how often do you get a lesson from Koguchi-san?

its yoru call
more time then go beginner. if you are using open diff, definately beginner. the advanced will most likely have at least 2-3 turns and w/ open diff it will be hell trying to slide left right leeeeeft and not snap oversteer.

kanekz · 02-26-2003, 07:33 PM

Ahhhh, man I dont know what to do. Exactly what you said, "how often do you get a lesson from Koguchi-san?" That is so true. Well I am gonna look at the tomei 2way that Keinsm has for sale. If I do get it, I will try to install by the event. So ya im pretty much up in the air on this one. I definetaly do want more track time, but then again the clinic is very inticing. What would you do..just an opinion? *ripping hair out*

For the advanced, do you get to go on the begginer/novice track as well?

Black240sx · 02-27-2003, 12:20 PM

Hey guys,

Just to let you know, there are about 5 people meeting up at the Puente Hills mall off the 60 exit azusa at around 8:30am on sunday before heading out the the driftoff.. I hope if anyof you guys can make it to meet up please do so. I am just trying to get as many 240 owners to meet up so we can have a little mini meet and then caravan up to the showoff... It would be kinda nice... so please let me know if any of you can makeit... we have 2 more days to it (not including today)...

can you guys atleast post here even if you won't go...

SRKperformance · 02-27-2003, 04:58 PM

rancid240 · 02-27-2003, 05:51 PM

hey whats the forecast for saturday anyways? is it rain or shine?

itsybitsy240sxEy · 02-27-2003, 06:32 PM

yahoo weather forecast says it's mostly sunny on sunday. yay!

kanekz · 02-27-2003, 06:48 PM

I am so bummed!

The guy that was selling the Tomei 2way sold it the day before I was going to look at it. Now I wont have lsd by track day. I really dont know what to do anymore. I need to decide fast. What do you guys think? Go for the advanced and get a drift clinic from the PROS, or just stick with the beginner/novice since I am going to run with an open diff?? AHhhhh I am bummed.

kanekz · 02-28-2003, 12:38 AM

Since I was a last minute decider, I need some help from anybody! I was wondering if anyone had a loaner helmet for the day. I would really appreciate it if someone did..if not I'm not really sure what I am going to do.

gabossie · 02-28-2003, 09:13 AM

Man, I am still having a hard time deciding whether to go to the Drift Showoff and watch, or to the Auto-X at Hollywood Park and drive. Probably the auto-x cause I missed last months.

Equinox · 02-28-2003, 09:27 AM

See all you guys and gals there on Sunday

kanekz · 02-28-2003, 02:16 PM

John, thanks a lot bro. you're a life saver. The problem was that I wasnt sure if I was going to enter and couldn't buy a helmet in time. What time are you going to be there? Call my cell (626) 497-5044 when you get up here.

Does anyone one know the situation w/tech inspection. I know that Gspeed is doing before the event, but is there going to be onsite tech inspection???

fogleroller · 02-28-2003, 02:59 PM

around 9am, i'll call yous

pchio · 02-28-2003, 05:02 PM

Yes the have on site inspection begin at 7:00a.m..
It doesn't matter u have LSD or not as a beginner, just go to the beginner course, learn your car first, get the feeling of sliding around and improve your steering input/throttle control first. I have seen ppl drifting with an open diff. and do better than those ppl who have LSD (me

) . Also, they do have instructors from club4ag to teach you, so don't worry about it.

Btw, i will be start going at sat. mid night from SF, non-sleep, 6 hours, arrive early for tech inspection, drifting for the whole day and drive back to SF for another 6 hours...... Damn, I wish i won't fall into sleep while I am drifting. Anyway, i will see you guys there. Good luck.

Pat, that some good news. I guess I will teched there in the morning. Ya, I was a little dissapointed when I couldn't get the lsd in time. But none the less, should be a good experience.
Be careful on the drive down here from up north. NO SLEEP! just be careful. maybe see u there.l

drift into a curb · 03-01-2003, 10:39 AM

I'm not saying you can't handle it, but you should really rest before going out on the track. Leave earlier or something cuz being fatigued when you're driving really impairs your senses. More accidents are caused by sleepy drivers than drunk driving. And not only are you risking yourself and your car, you put people on the track at risk too.

pchio · 03-01-2003, 04:40 PM

Yes, u guys are right. I will try to rest as much as possible on Saturday. I wish I could come to LA one day before te event, and stay over there. But I really can't for a reason. So... Anyway, I will be very careful and avoid any accident.

Thanks,
Pat

Danio · 03-03-2003, 05:17 AM

Pat you are crazy. I hope the HK radio kept you up and that you made it home all right. And I hope your front bumper got some dents!!

Anyway, that was a fun event. =) Glad I went.

SHINCHU · 03-03-2003, 04:08 PM

i had a blast! most of you that know me saw my post at club4ag so im not typing that huge thing again. i learned a whole lot. mostly i learned its easier to drift a 240 than an 86! but i need a few little things like a seat, dori knob, and steering hub extension to make it more comfortable and controlable. i hate driving witht he steering wheel on top of my knees. anyone else around 6 foot have this prob with s13? so annoying.
well anyway i got some good drifts in and had fun talking with people. great event and i cant wait for more!

max_misawa · 03-04-2003, 02:14 AM

shinchu thanks for buying my rims LOL.
I got to say that getting a LSD made my car 1000% more fun to drive.
The drift show off was cool for those of us who got the wrist bands.
If you dont have a wrist band you = gay
i got to meet alot of new peoples and next time i wont show up 5 mintues befor the event with no sleep then drive back to nocal half dead.
