Default Thank YOU, EVERYONE!

First of all id first like to say that today would not have happened if it werent for our very own Mattback and our new good friend, Eric Jacobs, President of www.DGTrials.com. - BIG Thanks.

On behalf of all of us at Secret Services and DGTrials.com id like to thank all of the drivers and the 300+ spectators that made it out today! It was a blast to meet alot of new faces and talk to alot of you guys and see everyone enjoying themselves in a fun, safe and most importantly, LEGAL environment.

Today was a huge success mainly thanks to everyone that came out and showed theyre support, along with you guys we'd like to give a special thanks to the following:

-St. Petersburg College for allowing us to hold the first event of its kind in our area

-Makes & Models for coming out and taking some pics and giving out free mags for the fans.

-NobleDrift.com for bringing out their AMAZING car and giving everyone a great show.

-Fastandfuriouseast.com for coming out and taking pics.

-The people that stuck around and helped us pick up trash.

(if im forgetting anyone, im sorry!)


Again, this event couldnt have been succesful without all of you guys that attended and showed your support for this up and coming sport...

Im not much of a writer, but i just really wanted to say Thank You.

-Kyle

It was a lot of fun. Too bad a lot of people missed me actually drifting and not spinning out. Hahaha. My first and last set were the most decent. The last was great because of Matt's help and unfortunately some people had left by then. Oh well! I have the muscle soreness to prove that I did it!! hehehe it was so much fun!!!

My first time drifting on dry... I did it in front of people and I didn't even have an anxiety attack. I'm changing, to say the least. Thank you so much to those that helped calm me down. It realy helped a lot. Thanks too much to my boyfriend Matt for giving me some pointers in my last set and allowing me to actual do the damn thing. Hehe. Practice will make not perfect, but better. I promise you next time I'll be better.

DGTrials and Secret Services put on one of the best events I have ever witnessed. Indeed memorable. Some people who said they'd show up didn't, but A LOT of unexpected people (300+ spectators) showed up too.

To say it was a success is an understatement.

I had a blast.I posted a thanks to all of you guys who helped in the FFA forum along with a few pics I took.I will get the video I took today, uploaded hopefully within a week or two.Why so long? Cause my pc requires a card that was not included with my camera in order to take the vid from the cam and put it in the pc. Then I gotta edit it somewhat or leave it the way it is and just let everyone watch all of what I taped.

I had a great time though and I watched all day. I feel like a lobster now (LOL) and cant wait till the next one comes around cause the Mullet 5.0 will be doing his best to either drift(ummm dont think it will work) and or power slide(will work) .Cant wait for the next one!

And btw..What percent did SPC require of what was made in order to hold this there?Was it toally all their money or did a few bucks get to you guys back at SS? I am wondering cause I figured it would be hard to get SPC to sponsor something like this and hold this kind of event ..

I am glad there were no accidents and or blown up tires or engines. I'd say it was a gooood day, thanks to all who helped put this spectacular event together...

best time I've ever spent in my car, hands down! Thanks mattback and ss for putting together an excellent first event. I hope you guys make this a monthly thing

also, thanks to everyone who gave me pointers and stuff (I suck I know ), but I think I was starting to get better near the end!

Yea I can understand that.I dont blame ya for wanting a few bucks for the trouble but I figured I'd ask just because of what you said, the insurance. I guessed it would be quite difficult to get that lot for our purpose but it turned out great, we had no one lookin over our shoulders all day that I saw and we weren't bothered by anyone there either so I think it was a great event and I cannot give enough thanks through this text.

Any idea on when another event like this might go down? I know that all of the people who drifted today and most all of the spectators would love to do it again and by then you will have 50 bucks more comin from me for sure....
