good for you, not letting opstacles get in your way.i would rather go out and atleast try and fail then sit around wondering whether or not i should have. that would drive me insane. real drifters will go out and try no matter what opstacles are in the way. and i have to say james has more heart and soul at wanting to become a real drifter and hopefully some day we can have our very own female Ant. heheheeh an ant mound with one female, should be fun!!! lol

Oh believe me. I'll be getting much practice where there are no walls. When I have more experience I'll drift near walls. Bill, if you want to criticize my intetions on the board do it to my face as well, please.

He was also talking to me. It doesn't have to be negative, just a discussion. You voiced your opinion about the event and I can voice mine whether I enjoyed it or not.

By the way, what I have said is positive. I didn't bring any negativity. I just feel I'm being disrespected by people who I thought were my friends because I didn't participate in one event I didn't feel comfortable at. It's like peer pressure at a high school party. I never felt like I was in high school so much.

I think everyone did really well. Taylor was amazing. The accidents were unfortunate, but that's exactly what they are, accidents.

I'm not really sure what positive feedback there is to come of hitting the walls. Did your hitting the wall actually teach you anything? Is the damage to your frame a learning experience?

Seat time is only worth so much. Maybe when someone finally gets hurt you'll understand what I'm talking about. There's a reason why DG is so anti street drift. It has a lot to do with hitting hard obstacles, which don't teach you anything.

Eric

The fact of the matter is... I had a blast. If i hadnt have gone out tehre i wouldnt feel comfortable driving my car everyday. I learned my lsd. Did it teach me, absolutly it did, and im sorry you cant see that. They put on a great event. And i'm not going to sit here and have you bash it. Thats rude, and so was your comment about my driving. Very uncalled for. You showed what kind of a person you are to me at least this weekend. So, i've read what you have to say, and i say you have to start somewhere. Like i said we all go out there, on the streets(cause im sure youve never done it on the streets full knowing the obstacle you set in front of you) . I knew what i went out there to do, and i dont need you worrying about my frame. Unless you havent figured it out, I got that covered... ok

So unless you were their participating. Anything at all you have to say to me, that i havent HEARD or read already, I dont think twice about. I have great role modles in front of me.


I'm glad you care abot everyones saftey, we need more people like that in this world... be sure to let any and all drifters and newbs you can find just how close your heart is to their saftey.

The event went well

Thanx for your imput



-James

how about evan hitting the walls?

or cars catching on fire?

accidents happen no matter the skill level.

and none of us drift on the streets

as i said in my PM to you that went unanswered, i agree in your comments and input on the event. we were unaware that it was going to be ont he track only. but since we drive all that way, we did it anyways and learned alot. yes, she learned many things through her experiences. even professionals wreck. we all start somewhere and learn as we go. i fully plan on making it to any/all events available in florida and i have alwasy praised your events. but others will do them also. its not about the money, and its not all about the drivers. people have to eat, too. im tired of this being turned into a pissing contest. you know, this drama wouldnt have happened if your attitude wasnt so demeaning and if matt hadnt walked through the paddock offering to pay people to boycott the event(s)

this is the type of immaturity that people notice.

i'm not either and its sad. The only people putting down the said topic where the ones who didnt participate and thats sad

I love the drift community, I know the feeling of excitment to get that car sideways to feather it to stay where you need to be i know that!.

And the negativeness needs to stop.

Anywho the FACT IS, damn i had a blast, that was one hell of a show...one hell of a show.

! And like i said i am so proud of all who PARTICIPATED!
