DDay lobster crew #001!
Today really changed my outlook on drifting. I'm a mod on a 240 board, and it really seems everyone, their brother, and their dog are "drifters." These are the same "drifters" that post 2 weeks later about totalling their car into another car, or into a curb at a parking lot, or some other stupid place. But to see people actually organized at a legal place with safety first was great. Most (95%) of you guys out there started rough and got much better towards the end of the day.
The few cars.. zfever white z32, some red car, and some black z32 speeding down the specatator strip, or "drifting" the hairpin in the back was really unprofessional and retarded.
No I wont drift my car, but watching on the sidelines was awesome! Matt, Bill, Taylor, Blake, and a ton of others were killin it out there. When DD3 happens, I'll be right back out there!

I'm really bumed that I missed it, but I guess I can't complain being here in New England driving the twisties, as well as scoping for potential DG event locations (on public roads as well!!!)...

When D-Day 3 comes around, consider me registered whether I am still driving the CRX or otherwise!

It sounds like the one thing that would have made the day more enjoyable would have been sun block!

Don't let his Jewishness fool you - Erik is a really good guy and does everything he can to make the events the best that they can be for everyone, as well as cheap.

If you were on of the people sitting on the sidelines running off at the mouth about my car then why werent you out there drifting? This goes to all those who did say some stupid ignorant comments.

I had fun, I will again.
Well if you actually finished reading my post instead of being a damn e-thug you would have read the "ALL IN GOOD FUN." part also. We never made any negative comments, even though you were the only domestic car out there we didnt bash you, we thought it was cool.

And seeing as how that statement was made at me, go fuck yourself.

I was talking with the owner/operator at the track and he was happy to see the grass go. He was telling me how someone previously planted the wrong kind of grass and he was happy it was being "removed" so the good grass could grow in.. He mentioned he was pleased how well organized it was.

I was a little concerned will how the Miata driver was driving in the pit lanes and when he went off into the parking section. Lucky no one was standing around when he went out like that.. there were some young kids in that area.

I had fun.

F all the haters man. Hearing the throaty rumble of a 302 and seeing your Foxbody out there was badass man. I loved watching you go out there and try it. You did MUCH better than I would have thought and I'd be pleased if I was in your shoes. Hope you come out again next time and tear up some more corners with us, as well as the grass

As for Regina, I spoke w/ you at the end of the day (guy w/ the white coupe asking about your diff). You did fine. Don't worry the people talking shit. Who cares. You're progressing w/ your skills and that's whats important. Cautious isn't always a bad thing! Some of those drivers out there were going too 'balls out' and getting a little ahead of their skill level. You definately won't break as much this way or go spinning backwards over the rumble strips to the next turn like I did a couple times! I'd say you did great and you had a blast, as did the rest of us... a day well done!

well when the brake booster line pops off and the shifter brakes all at the same time i would like to see how well you could recover!! since you weren't in the situation you have no reason to be upset about it. i didn't hit anything and kept the car upright which is better than you prolly could have done. coulda, woulda, shoulda, shit pisses me off. nothing happened so lets leave it like that.

Bill you managed the situation just as it should have been, i was acctually standing on that side of the track at the time the problem accured, i knew something was up when you just plowed strait through the corner and into the pits... than around the lake... There's really not much you could have done. You drove the piss out of that SR Miata all day long and i think no-one could have done it better. See you next time?
