why would u get flammed for that?

id be down for a GIR whatever day, i have already contacted them about a drift event and their only concern was the grass, so youd have to only invite people that are skilled enough not to do that.

just wanted to chime in on last years GIR events. I did all of them and none of them were wide open. GIR presents big design problems in the fact that it can allow for a lot of speed and huge off-camber/on-camber cornering changes. most people have never felt what that can do to a car at high speed.

GIR is definately the most speed friendly course I have ran in FL but never wide open through the corners and never is drifting the fastest or safest way around. i don't think Solo2 or autox people in general have a problem with drifting. i just think it doesn't really apply to bashing their course designs and placement of cones. we don't design to drift, we design to go fast in the most efficient use of all posible traction and variables. drifting is not that and never will be, its a skill sport that relies on incredible amounts of car control and is not better nor worse than autox or any other form of motor sport. but like all other forms of motor sport our design for tracks doesn't work for your sport. IE drag racing on a road coarse, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

so there is no need for the attitude nor the explatives, that isn't going to get you anywhere with anyone who runs these events.

mmm..... last season 4-5 of the events i went to just at GIR were 80% open turn road courses. all the radius turns were open and some straights, the other straights had like 1 or 2 gates and the slalom is always on the same place on the near side straight before the finish.

im not bashing the design, i said i just wish i knew about the design prior and would have brought my WRX instead since it was a more technical layout

yea definately, i wish we had more runs esp since many people drove from far places to run at g ville.

Wow, what an intelligent statement.

This entire thing is absurd.

A drifter goes to an autox and is angry because when they got there, they didn't find a course layed out for drifting.

It's simple.

You want to autox: go to an autox.
You want to drift: go to a drift event.

Going to the wrong one and being mad about what you found is like going into a womans restroom and being pissed off because there isn't a urinal.

I wasn't criticizing the course designs or complaining about the cones, just stating there's a lot and contrasting that with a more open layout ( the mscc event I did there used maybe 10 cones? ). I expect to see cones at an autox....so should everybody else, it's not a hpde.
