[Suspect]

I will be there to spectate cuz unfortunately I am wrong wheel drive......I will be there and I will be taping the footage to post on some sites and let them know what kinda fans of drifting we have here in FLA (well.....tampa) and hopefully get some more events happening down here............see you guys there

[Slash]

I'm all over it! /ghost voice

[nismo180]

is there going to be people giving lessons and stuff?
i'm going either way but lessons would be cool

[Matt Vassallo]

Yes, we will have a Drivers meeting in the morning, and also offer to give tips to people while they are doing runs. We may also be able to offer more experienced drivers riding passenger to help explain what the driver is not doing correctly, and naturally we love passengers riding when we're sliding around :-)

The question is, are ya gonna come out!!

[Chin]

im sure I will be there drifting...

[robofunc]

Is that going to be on the same pad that Sunriders autoXs use?

[Chin]

rgr

[Alan]

Awesome deal. Although I am not a big fan of the whole drift thing, I'm definately coming to watch. As long as the word "stuffs" is used at an absolute minimum (perhaps there should be a rule banning its use ;) ), it should be a fun time.

[Regina]

Hopefully I will participate, but if anything I am definitely going to spectate and take photos.

[Funk]

shit sounds gay im not going ;)

but this highly offends me matt, i happen to be a nazi


haha ill be there fucking all the niggas in the ass up!!!1

[Kurupt01]

I'll be there to spectate.

[delsolSI]

im in

[DETriment]

im so there, matt sell me an lsd real quick

[buck19]

im in. will there be a pre-tech inspect. like where we can run over to SS before the event and see if everything flies?

if my car is done ill be participating, if not ill be def still be there. going to get some friends from the east coast to come over.

how about concessions. i can get a couple guys that drive though my work everyday. ones the ice cream guy who does banana splits, milk shakes, cones, and other stuff, and the other person has normal food like chicken, rice, pasta, soda, water, etc...

[Geoffrie]

Sweet! I'll be there.

Any requirement on the type of helmits?

Snell 95 rated most likely

[Geoffrie]

yeah I figured as much, time to buy a new helmit.

-Jeff

[Shadytrixta1]

Its about time theres some legal drift events in Tampa.Im there!!!

[Ralph]

Sounds good...cant believe there's going to be an actual drift in Tampa, should be a pretty good turn out.

[Ralph]

[ProjectRedSuns]

ill be their for sure

[Matt Vassallo]

The helmets will be Snell SN 95, but if you have a beloved helmet that fits you really well, and looks to protect you from hitting your head against the side of the car , as youre not going to be hitting anything but maybe a cone or two at the event, we might look the other way... hint hint SN 90

[neurovish]

so how hard are you guys gonna be in tech?
my car makes some popping noises occasionally when i turn the wheel, but nothing is in danger of falling off or noticeably broken or loose.

[Slash]

tech sheet is stickied... seems like they will call you on it

[Matt Vassallo]

we arent going to be that tough...

if you pass at an scca autocross youwill more than likely pass this.

[hspmick]

I am driving all the way back to St Pete just to watch this!!! Matt you can count on me being there with camera in hand!!! I come home the wknd before this too but what the hell may as well come home twice in a row to watch the sick DDay

[Funk]

my car better pass. hehe. fucking nasty car.

[jezo1o]

Can anyone tell me the address to this place.

[neurovish]

[Cronic]

I would love to go and participate... but Im not shelling out 80 bucks for a helmet AND 50 for an event...

I'll spectate.

[moffett]

I'll be there from Orlando. Now all I need is a LSD and a helmet. Which reminds me, will there be any loner helmets?

[Jeff240sx]

It's hard to drift a peg-leg KA-T. And too broke to cough up $300 for a vlsd, $80 on a helmet and $50 on admission. Sorry Matt.
I will spectate though. Will there be punch and pie?

helmit $80 - Why not see if you can share a helmit with someone?

Vlsd $300 - Go without one, you don't need a lsd to drift.

I drive a 86 corolla gts with like 100hp and a open diff - proveing you don't need an lsd or a lot of power to drift. (we got good footage a few nights ago)

Azenis' up front and cheap used tires in the back is perfect for those who need a little extra help (open diff and/or lacking power).

i hear ya ;)

[Regina]

How many are seriously coming out and participating? Matt has been putting a lot of time and effort into this. I should know, I'm his girlfriend and he's been working on this during our free time! ;) I really hope none of you are flaking out and going to let this fall to ruin. I'm going to pre-pay my $50 today. I suggest all who are serious about this or claim that they are going to compete should do the same SOON!

I just want to make sure you are all being serious and not just saying this. Matt and others are literally working their hardest to organize this and bring a LEGAL drift day to Tampa. Coming out and spectating is fine, but we need people to drift and learn how to drift. :)

[zenki_s14]

geoffrie and i should be out there hopefully will have mastered choko dori by then.....

[Regina]

Originally posted by zenki_s14

That's the thing though. No one has to have anything mastered. It's really mostly a learning experience and a place for us kids to legally drift and LEARN how to master it instead of learning and getting tickets or arrested. Seriously. You guys should just pre-pay and DEFINITELY come out!!!! Not any of this "should be out" shit. ;)

[Bone]

Matt check your PM's and Regina get on matt to get back to me about something

[Jonas]

DOOD are you kidding me?? i wouldnt miss this for anything... iam not good i suck but hell its LEGAL iam going to ss tomorrow to prepay...!!! and my azenis came in yesterday hehe iam ready to go...

[Jonas]

where are all the people with drifter blabla drf180 drft240 sideways sidewayz screen name people?? now is the time so put your screen names to use!!!

ermm btw do we have a designated video camera person yet?? we can't let this event go without it being video taped...

[Regina]

EXACTLY!! Hahaha. Thank you Jonas. Reprahzent! ;)

[Geoffrie]

Yeah, you are stupid if you don't take this oportunity to drift LEGALLY! $50? come on, thats less than I spend on tires a week! (2 sets of rears so far this week...)

Don't think you need to be an expert, come wanting to learn and intent to destroy tires!

I can't stress the low grip tires in the rear enough. When I went to a battleversion drift day in California (back when I was a beginner) I grabed some of the worst (grip wise) tires I could find and had a blast! There were people there who used some sporty tires and where having dificulty kicking it out at all - you don't want this to be you.

Yeah, video action! camera guys wanted.

-Jeff

[Matt Vassallo]

Listen, If there's going to becameras it can not be used for anything commercial as per DG Trials and Secret Services.


Come on people registah!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No loaner helmets, that was stated in one of the threads...I'm probably gonna get one, you can borrow it....bull might loan you his if there aren't any other events that weekend (gonna try to convince him and aaron to make the drive over anyways).

[Funk]

evan, stupidity like this will not be tolerated.

[Jonas]

come one everyone, think about the prep this has gone through to make this happen and now that it is going down everyone is not registering.... good not good beginner who cares come out damn it...

[Jonas]

need spectators come on... this event would be 10 x better with spectators rooting on!!!!

[MR2driver]

Putting in a new clutch next week, should be broken in, ready for the event. Are MR cars allowed? It's rear drive :D I want to try and see if I can slide the SW20. In the mean time, I will be looking for a shitty set of tires for the rear. I would like to commit, but it all depends on the car being prepared. I will definetly spectate, but I am more eager to run.

BTW- Way to go Rob and SS. Thanks for putting in all the hard work to bring this event to tampa. We owe you guys!!

[Funk]

can i drift my volvo too?

[Geoffrie]

I used to have a 90 volvo 780 (rare rwd turbo coupe) that I drifted...

Yeah dude, you can come out! The flyer says rwd cars, but it should be anyone who wants to come out and have a good time.

at this point i dont care if someone wants to come out and goof off with their civic. it's cool to me because its not lik eyou can legally do it anywhere else.

Bring your friends too!

[Jonas]

is it just me or does it seem like not alot of people are really getting into this...??? is there any specific reason the list isnt full yet... ??? i honestly thought all the ants would be on there day 1, and everyone else ???

[1Pinay4lyfe]

I like to watch ;)

[box240mod]

[Matt Vassallo]

what doe sthe example ahve anything to do with it slash ??


i plan on running the crappiest 17s i can in the back with azenis up front!

its the easiest way to party !

[Slash]

the example has the models and sizes of tires exactly the same for the entire car..

so far unless i'm mising something then I couldnt see how any of these could be legal..


Azenis + HTR or VISA or Crap Shit MK1

Hoosier + HTR or whatever..

and REALLY technically

HTR200 + Visa would not be legal either..

[Geoffrie]

Tire brand, model and size must be the same per axle

Hmm per axle... not for the whole car...

Personally, I don't think there should be a charge for specataors. Who'se gonna want to pay $5 to watch a bunch of people doing donuts in a parking lot? I think this should be run like an autocross. People don't have to pay to watch an autocross. Also, With this being the first event, I wouldn't expect it to be an immediate success. But the more people who come out to watch, the more people there will be to participate at the next one. Just my $.02. Good luck with the event.

people pay $5 to watch cars go in a straight line a quarter mile at a time...


spectating is part of the big deal of drifting, its a show for the spectators.

Tacdout is right. If your goal is to promote drifting in this area, the event should allow for free spectating, at least for now. The only way to have successful promotion of drifting as a bonefide motorsport is to have as much support as possible. That means as many interested people as possible.

Drag strips charge admission because they can. It's already an established motorsport in this area. Not to mention they are a business that generates income and provides seating, time/mph boards viewable for spectators, bathrooms, and a concession area....this takes money to run. What are the organizers planning to do with all the spectator procedes from this drift event? Are they collecting admission from the spectators to offset the cost of the days rent of the facility for the drivers?
At any rate....good luck with the event. I hope it is a success.

[Slash]

the magizines have already fueled the fire... I dont think there will be ANY trouble with these events gaining the spotlight

[Matt Vassallo]

i'm sorry but drifting is still a major show for the spectators.

that due to the fact that its 15 dollars admission elesehwere in the nation, 5 dollars is pretty f'ng cheap if you ask me. thats cheaper than a 12 inch sub from subway (including tax).

[Slash]

yeah I think its a great price.. who in their right mind dosent have 5 bucks

[fastforward]

Originally posted by Slash

What am I going to get for my $5 bucks? Are there going to be some pro-drifters or some exotic machinery at this event? Am I going to have some stands to sit in to get a good view of the course?
I wouldn't be too suprised to see people lining up along the fence and peering in for free.

Hey, hope I'm wrong....just some things that one might want to consider. I too would have gone...but I think I'll go spend my five bucks on a meatball sandwhich value meal at Subway instead. ;)

You might say I'm the glass is half empty kind of guy, but i'm just playing the deil's advocate here.

you go ahead and buy your meatball sandwich...no one personally invited you to come or desperately seeks your presence... if 5 bucks is too much to buy the winning lottery ticket so be it for you...i dont care for pro drifters being there or "exotic machinery"... i am there to drive and have spectators to come and have a good time and maybe start to get involved the drifting...

[Jonas]

Originally posted by fastforward

this happens at the auto x's anyway?? you wont see anything from the benches hidden behind... point is...

[Regina]

I think you'd be paying a lot more than five dollars to see professional drifters.... if you have a problem with paying and supporting and five dollars is too much then do not go and spectate. If you're not a cheap person and don't complain about five dollars, then pay and have a good time. :)

And the fact that this IS INDEED the first Drift day in Tampa means that they need all the monetary support they can get. It was hard enough getting people to allow this! They need support, not people coming on the board complaining about the five dollar spectating price being too much. :roll: :lol:

[Ichi-go]

I live in Jacksonville and wil try to get down there. I really want to see No Ants and see all you guys ripping it up.

I'm a youngin (15) and have to talk my dad into going down. Maybe if we go down it will help me persuade him into letting me get a 240 before summer.

lol when he sees what you will be doing with your 240 i dont think he will get you one!jk

He knows i will drift (try too) and maybe the event will show him i will be able to do it safely.

Jonas I love your 240 thats exactly what i want.

Anytime anyone comes onto the drift fourm and isn't kissing ass, they get flamed for being negative. Excuse me for asking some simple questions and stating my humble opinion.

I won't rain on your parade anymore.:roll:
As per usual, my intentions were good. I don't know why I even try to get involved. Good luck anyway.

[m0nk3y]

will there be grandstands, or bring-your-own-seat?

[Matt Vassallo]

no grandstands just yet. we'll have to work with spc on this one, once we see what we can do. maybe eventually we'll get some buildable ones or what not but right now we will just kind of have a free roaming spectator thing with cones guarding where you cannot go kinda thing. hahaha.

no caged up spectators here, we have
100% organic free roaming spectators, think of it as a pit pass. come in, talk to the drivers, see the tires getting torn up, learn a bunch, ride along, whatever ;-)

all for 5$

[Jonas]

do you guys need any folding tables or anything like that??? who is supplying the cones?? i have ahem 2 to donate....

[Matt Vassallo]

we have plenty of cones.

folding tables maybe, we'll see what we can do. we will probably be purchasing alot of it for future use at other areas, this is why some of the costs are there.

[neurovish]

What are you doing about course workers?

Perhaps making those who want to watch but don't want to pay work the course and chase cones would be an equitable solution?
The drivers shelling out the 50 bucks will be able to get more runs in when 1/2 of them don't have to be out chasing cones (depending on turnout of course).

[Jonas]

what time does the drifting actually start??

[Matt Vassallo]

theres not going to be that much stuff to work at the course

not too many cones at all to pick up, but i'll have someone taking care of it.

[zenki_s14]

the more i read about it the more excited i get about it....im trying to run around and find 50 dollars so i can go ahead and get my car checked out and just wait for the 21st..... but i've just run into a problem with my starter..... my car will only start once in a while...you gota play around with it and maybe it'll start.... is it koo if i play in quarters!?!?!? how bout 50 wooden nickles?

[The Kyle]

50 dollars in quarters are fine ;-)

[QuickSC2 3HT]

Damn i wish i still had my supra turbo, ah i ll buy another when i'm done commuting. But i ll be out there as a spectator.

[marksaccord95]

the corolla leaks oil and has bungee cords to hold the battery down
nor does it have an ebrake cable, though i dont know the course layout, so i dont even know if it will be needed.

:-/

i guess next time.......

[Matt Vassallo]

lots and lots of zipties to stop the battery from moving! trust me i'll pass it!!

and for the leaks.. pour in lots of stop leak and silicon everything up!! we need all the people we can get at this point or there will be NO more DDAYs

[Jonas]

[Shadytrixta1]

Shit if there is going to be no more d-days i just might scrounge up the 50 bones and go learn to drift.open-diff slipping clutch and all.

[Jonas]

its been brought up before... the mods are not NEEDED to drift... your car will get sideways without it... "i dont have lsd i dont have suspension i dont have tires" who cares you will give yourself more props if you an do well without it anyway... just do it!!!

[Geoffrie]

you guys heard matt, register if you want this event to happen! Don't assume your car car won't pass, go see Matt!

Worst case scenario man...if your dad doesnt want to go, I also live in Jax and will be going down there for the event so pm me if your interested in a ride

[Charles]

Convertible + no rollbar = Failed tech inspection ...... I might make it down to spectate though.. hope it works out for you guys

ok so since i have not seen to many people signed up... are all of you here that are doubting atleast show up to spectate??

I will be there with a couple friends spectating ...

if all turns out well I just may be here in tampa.. and goldmember will be running :) hehe...

one other thing... registration 8-10... but it says it starts at 8. will it really begin at 10?

[Matt Vassallo]

everyone should be therebetween 8 and 9.

drivers meeting will be after registration ends. and then the first heat starts at 11.

[buck19]

i havent registered yet cause my automobile isnt running yet. should be done sometime tomorrow night.

Mattback. you guys going to have SS open on sunday. i might not be able to make it in saturday.

Might take you up on that...I have a stock 240 s14 with good tires and new brakes, but the ebrake needs to be tightened up if you use it...havent done it myself, but wouldnt mind seeing my own car in action :D, open diff and all...

[buck19]

what time will the event end?

[Matt Vassallo]

330-4pm probably, just like the sunriders..

hahah yes whats up my fellow dj long time no talk hahah i will be there driving see yah then...

[buck19]

i was looking through the dg trials website and found a page listing all the rules for an event held up north and they were saying no passengers. so im guessing the rules for this event were revised a little and they just have to sign their name on the driver registration form as a passenger. Is that correct

[Matt Vassallo]

correct!

[03Hatch]

What time does this go till?

[buck19]

3-4pm

[Ralph]

ermm btw do we have a designated video camera person yet?? we can't let this event go without it being video taped... I got your video taping along with a few other people I am sure. I most likely will be there and if I go, there will definatley be a brand new digital vid cam in my hands. First time taping anything really except for screwing off so I hope I do a decent job so I can edit and post it...

Personally, I don't think there should be a charge for specataors. Who'se gonna want to pay $5 to watch a bunch of people doing donuts in a parking lot? I think this should be run like an autocross. People don't have to pay to watch an autocross. Also, With this being the first event, I wouldn't expect it to be an immediate success. But the more people who come out to watch, the more people there will be to participate at the next one. Just my $.02. Good luck with the event. I would pay and I own a god damn domestic muscle car mustang 5 liter that has the shittiest god damn god given over steer with no power steering at the moment. It is not donuts in a parking lot WHAT SO EVER...... It will be cool and if you lose the shitty attitude you should come cause you will have fun and that is a guarentee...

Its too bad I dont have my license to get the car there and then have some shitty rear tires with a nice lsd(not a burnt clutch pack lol) and then power steering would help also. If I had all that I would be like the only domestic driver there lool. I am gonna go to the next if they do another. It sounds to be fun as hell;)

all for 5$
Is this ride along as long as I bring a helmet or get a helmet loaned? I will have a vid cam and plan on taping that day and would like to do a decent job so as to make a nice vid for tr users to watch.Will that be possible for me to ride if I get the chance to tape from a drivers prespective Matt?

This is great. We're actually going to have a decent turnout!!!! What about James? I don't think you're going to be able to get good video footage inside a car with suspension unless the camera is on an inside bolted car mount.

I'll be there. For shitty circumstances, Matt is going to drift my car (not too much though since I need it as a daily driver). I would participate, but I'm riding along since he cannot drive his I'm allowing him to drive mine. So I won't be driving, but I'll be riding along and taking photos. :-D
