the way he handled it with people and listening to him on the radio.

in a drift event you gotta know people are going in the grass, if its gonna cost you money, then spec out the places that are going to hit the most and adjust the price accordingly. id have paid an extra $5 not to hear him whine about it all day to random people.

props to matt for calming the situation, many of us were a little pissed off about it.

It was awesome. I drove down from Jax and got back at 10:00. Matt killed it in the Enjuku car and Blake with the Subaru (hotness). I loved seeing everybody tear it up.

To bad I have a FWD car. I really enjoyed watching.

well if some one is constantly flying off into the grass at the same turn every time, then something needs to be said.

everyone shit talks when they think nobodys listening...so lets not be hypocritical and pretend like its something we've never done before.

mistakes will be made....im glad its just grass

grass < wall

on a good note however...the owner is very pleased with the overall turnout and thinks everyone did a great job picking up trash!

Well some people had half the car go off at the beginning and would stay on the throttle. Once he made the statement people seemed to be a lot more carefull. Also it looked like everybody was going real slow and gentle in the grass when they did go off. Funk and a couple others went way off they didnt seem to do any damage and just slide to a stop.

By the end of the day everybody was doing awesome.... It was nice.
