thoraxe S13 (11:43:54 PM): When you start caring about outside of fl


bring on more ter tech events!!!

 

its funny cause i remember when i was in the process of doing the first lakeland event. i was told and i quote.

"why do you want to put on your own drift event. I have scheduled for an event every month in 2005"

here is 2005 WTF are they ..

 

fuck em.
i wish i had the money to open events for all u cool people.
but ohh well..maybeee they will relizeeee sooo many drifters r in floridaaa..soo much money they could make..anywayz. peaceee

 

damn mike looks like they fucked you over. that sux.

 

That's gay. I think he's been bitter ever since that one dday where nobody showed up (dday5?). That was the best dday ever though...I was out of tires by 3.

 

well, he's gonna go where he can put on he best events and have the best turn outs. it also has alot to do with locations, and i think fl sucks for venues. maybe he's haveing better luck outside fl? either way it sucks, but i have fun at the ter tech events so as long as we have them we should be good. but DG did bring the first events to FL and i thank them for doing all they did,, could they have done things different.....prolly, but hind site is always 20/20. bottom line is FL needs a track specifically built for drifting. period. then i see things getting alot better.

 

FL needs a big slab of concrete.....like 20 square acers, maybe more

 

I think this may have been taken a bit out of context. Unless I'm gravely mistaken, Erik is in charge of setting up events in the Southeast (Georgia, etc) and keeping everything in line nationwide whereas I (with much help from Kyle) am DGtrials in Florida - we set up events, run them, and try to make sure that people have a good time. DDays have pretty much always been Kyle's baby (early DDay's were possible with lots of Secret Services and Mattback help also), and Erik has essentially left us alone to set up to do whatever.

DG and Ter-Tech aren't enemies by any means. I'm glad that there is another orginization in Florida anyway, a little competition is a healthy thing and the TT guys couldn't be cooler.

If DG really didn't care about Florida then we wouldn't have events here. I do believe actions speak louder than words, especially those spoken in a casual IM conversation.

 

Oh man, talk about out of context. A sarcastic, offhanded comment does not, in any way, fully represent someones stance on an issue.

 

well, taken from the president of the organization, i don't like how he simple doesn't care about the florida dealings at all.

anlet, whny dont you turn this around, and get a bettter venue and good events and some good things going for dg in 2006 ?
