drift competition

[hachibill]

i think this is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overdue in the florida area. so someone needs to get off their ass and get one going. ocala seems like the place to do it. we need prizes and TV camera's and magazine coverage, shit where's the Ladies man when you need him?

[Mars_302]

who would be the judges?

[Miles]

who would be the judges?
4 japanese guys with feathered blonde hair, and bizarre american pop culture references as nicknames? :dunno:

[Pineapple]

who would be the judges?
The people that are most qualified (Non drivers but know the slightest differences in drifting, or the track owner). Also, we need an announcer as everybody doesn't know everybody. Fuckin' A Bill great idea. Someone get this together.

[Jonas]

it would only be worth it if we had like cameras in different positions throughout the track... and at the end making a optoin type video...

[Ichi-go]

it would only be worth it if we had like cameras in different positions throughout the track... and at the end making a optoin type video...

That is the only way :dunno:


I think it wold be badass. The only hard part would be judges.

[nismocoupe]

Myself and roomates actually have started a production company, We are based out of Mia, but would make a trip up for this if it gets going. We can film the event and put the video on DVD.
Just a thought

[hachibill]

i think as for judges we get the TER-TECH guys to judge. they know alot about drifting and live here in Florida.

[2Valve]

I second everything my clone just said, Harry and Hanu and really good guys that love sliding, get them from Miami to judge, get about 40 cars, have novice and expert classes, biotechs in short skirts,(bbahahahaha) and some HOT TEA!!!!!! Hot Tea will own yousz guysz come on, somebody do something!!!

[ryojikaji143]

If you guys do this, and my brother can get me a car to drive. I'll come down to FL and drop some west coast flava on y'all

[J-Dizzle]

ill be the announcer, i have a very loud and deep voice that everyone could here..although i want to drive also..ill bring cameras and such ...and maybe some editing..bill's right, this is way overdue, playingin the rain in fun sometimes but on the track is so much more fun

for the announcer just go to any old strip club and get a DJ they always have a cool announcer voice.

[Mars_302]

yea but you cant understand them

[agentAndy]

Yes my lord. It shall be done. Lets drift at the deggaba system yo!!!!!!!! that little green dude can dori like a real sith driftR!!

Hot Tea will be spilt all over the place if I dont get some legal drift comp soon!!!!!

[hachibill]

seriously, DGtrials or someone get off your asses and get a competition going!!!!! WE need to show the rest of this crappy country that its florida thats bombing bagdad!!!!!!!!!!! crap on the west coast and all of your "been drifting for years". Florida is about to show everyone whats up.

[Miles]

i swear to christ, i'm boycotting if you get a strip club dj.

[viper]

I know I know..

[ZENKI-bodon-]

i dont know how long ago this post was...but i would judge yo,for real...i would be a good judge who knows about drifting and all...but i dont really know any of u guys,so it would be fair,i wouldnt just like favor anyone u know....but i would like to drift in the thing if it ever happend...but i guess being a judge would be good enough for mee.

[Matt Vassallo]

We would more than likely bring in judges from out of this area if we were to have the competition.

im down for being an announcer :grin:

Just a thought

what cameras do u run? ive been considering on getting a canon XL1

[TNathe]

would definetly have to have class levels, as no one going to go out there and compete with the professional drivers ie matt and rob and those damn near close ie Mark, taylor, Bill, etc. etc.

[Funk]

ill be a judge as long as i can drink beer

cmon ive got a broken fucking wrist and my new car is all stock

if you dont let me judge im going to throw nails on the track

you guys all suck anyways

[marksaccord95]

id definately consider bill a pro, just a pro without a sponsor

if i had to pick between drifting the event or being the announcer, id much rather be the announcer, i can probably even get some of my DJ gear to setup a PA with....

[hachibill]

crap on out of state judges, we need florida judges for Florida drifters!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marksaccord95]

werd

and the additional costs wouldnt be worth it, doesnt take a fucking scientist to judge drifting.

[Mars_302]

Have things really changed that much in less than a year? I posed this question sometime last year, and most ppl said florida didnt have enough talent yet for it to happen. Have things changed that much?

[nismocoupe]

almost positive bill is sponsored boys. I think XAC is sponsoring him last i checked. Bill is that right?

[marksaccord95]

sponsored to the level of being able to compete in Formula D i mean...

[Matt Vassallo]

out of the area judges are not partial :-)

[hachibill]

i guess your right, i'll just have to win with my charm and good looks! ;)

[hachibill]

still waiting???????????????????????

[marksaccord95]

set 1 up bill!! ;)

[TheBurntDrifter]

Bill is right though.We need a florida event now.last event i was at was hialeah but i heard its closing down now.so no mor evnts there.ive been hearing about the ocala track for sum time but i wanna experience it myself. if anything i thnk we'll hav to wait for homestead miami event

[Big Geezy]

thats whats up. Drifting is the shit! it should be held here in tpa / where i dunno but i think it should be held here

[ImportLuv]

Alot of tracks have ban drifting in FL...auburndale, lakeland. I dont think theres any tracks in Tampa either. Ocala is our best hope at this moment. All yal know that this requires alot of fundings.
Get a poll started with some nominees and lets start voting. Remember, this isnt a popularity contest.

[TheBurntDrifter]

i really hate how evrything goes down n california:mad: .If we got sum things goin on im sure we could show them florida has it too.we dont always have to use tracks.Im sure there are huge open lots we could get things setup on.its usually the moneything to get it going is what the problem is.

[ImportLuv]

Agree. Money talks. I dont know any drifter in FL or TR who has a major profession, not as in working at taco bell....a actual career.

I can see that this tread is swinging to about Cali drifters now. Do we need to figure out how they started it so we can copy cat them?

[TheBurntDrifter]

not really to cali drifters but it kinda seems lik thats where evrything is at or evryone thinks thats where its all at.im waiting for next homestead event though to get in finally now i gota sr.i wish i could make drifting a career but lik evryone we all hav dreams.

[hachibill]

what florida needs is a specifically built arena to witch we can take our sport too. i.e. and specifically desighned and built drift track.

[McLovin']

wish we could take over that old airport off of sr 54 down near little rd. damn bayflight got to it first though

[mranlet]

Don't think that it's not on DGtrials' "Things to do 'Fo Real!" list.

I'm not saying that anything is or isn't going to happen (Kyle is #1 man for that), but we'd need to ensure that people would show up in enough force and numbers that a competition would be worth it. If you wanted it Option style, like with a practice/qualify session followed by top 16, 8, 4, 2 and final battle, that is one thing, tandem is probably beyond the restrictions of our insurance (as well as the equipment of the drivers - who all has Halon systems, cages and such?). To do a morning practice session followed by elimination, track time for the drivers who will be cut will be very limited. Additionally, if it were individual runs on a playoff-style setup (as would be most exciting for spectators and drivers), we can't have people whining that they didn't get as many runs as someone else or complaining about the judges or some crap like that.

If DG were to run something like this, judges would be no problem, and we could provide a PA and find an announcer.

Are you thinking prizes, or just bragging rights?

Once again, this isn't to say that DG is or isn't planning something, but merely just to further discuss the idea of a comp.

[dudocius240sx]

for announcer get Antonio, he was the one who announced the one here in the ter tech event and he has done some Formula D. announcing, setting up a comp. would be great to showcase the talent we have over here

[nismocoupe]

ummm... anyone else see this?

Any idea who these "top driver" are?

Anyone going?

[hachibill]

it sounds like another auburdale to me.

[Mars_302]

where exactly are they doing it at at OSS? Does the oval track have a figure 8 deal?

[AZiaN DriftRaceR X]

hm..i dont think that flier is legit..
the second link dont work
and..c'mon..Orlando?? i live in orlando..full of ricecakes..LIKE ME!

[ImportLuv]

I dont know what your career is. And Im talking about a major profession with high income like a few drifters in japan. Anyways that doesnt matter. That event in Orlando is Bullcrap. Go to the website it advertise, it doesnt work. Some kind of major event like this should be popular, it cant just appear out of nowhere without the support from the people. Its BS. Im going to Atlanta.

I earn between 5-6x's minimum wage. Does that classify as a career?

Sorry, Chippendales arent considered to be a career. Its a occupation/job/hobbie with benefits.

They were passing those fliers out at the Auburndale fiasco and I think the promoters are friends or at least know each other

[marksaccord95]

where the fuck is there to drift at orlando speedworld?

[nismocoupe]

i dont know, i was just spreading what i was put on to. I will keep u all posted this week about this event and its validity.

[AZiaN DriftRaceR X]
