well ya this event was $7.50 a lap if u got all 10 of yours in.... and personally, ill pay that because it will never compare to the 250$ single turn slide i pulled at the races a few years back..... no cops, ambulance, and a real track = worth it, but limiting registration to less people might be a plan....

 

Thank you Kyle. Appreciate it.... You did fine. I actually enjoyed it MORE w/ out Eric crying about dirt and off course blah blah...

I have a SHIT load of pics Ill post later on..

 

Agreed. Even though I said I'll never pay it again, I'm sure I will if the opportunity comes up, because drifting is like CRACK

I just want less drivers damnit!

 

if you cant afford $100 to go to an event then you probably shouldnt be going to any drift events cause i know several people that spent more than 5 times that just on tires. I did some calculations on the ride home and the 15 laps that bryce got (the one that lost the wheel and still didnt miss a session) only used up a 1/4 tank of gas. thats about 7 miles a gallon. thats almost $7 in gas. but only took a 1/4 tank to get to the track and less than a 1/4 tank to get back home.

so 1 day and only used 3/4 of a tank of gas, 4 stripped and missing lug nuts, a bent muffler, cracked wheel well, bent lower control arm, ruined wheel, and two extremely happy, sun burnt, exhausted, and dehydrated customers.

so dont complain about the seat time. there would have been more if it werent for the hurricane. we would have prob gone all night. also dont complain about the price or number of drivers. the number of drivers is what keeps the cost down at $75-$100. if there were to be a 2 day event like homestead then it would prob cost about $200-$250 a person and your complaining about prices now. dont quote me on prices but i know its not cheap.


this was the best dday ever. even though i didnt get to drive cause of the wheel incident i was refunded the $95 no questions asked which makes me very happy. lots of drifting and lost of people messing up. the best part about it all is that even though people hit barriers, hay bales, enbankments, lost wheels, blew tires and almost hit a light pole, everyone drove home.

i have to give a big thanks to all the people that showed up, dgtrials, OGP, all the sponsors, and the people that helped bryce get back on the track (that was my ride home).

 

Glad to know that people aren't entitled to have their own individual opinions anymore.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

And comparing HOMESTEAD to OGP on prices? Give me a fucking break.

 

no, you had yours and i had mine. not trying to pick a fight. it just seems like youre saying that you got the short end of the stick even though there were people laying on their frame on the track.
how many turns did they have to homestead? how many at OGP?

 

Im not crying about anything, or saying I got the short end of the stick. And about your buddy laying his frame on the track, yeah it sucks, but am I suppose to compare my day to his based on what happened w/ his car?

I've said numerous times I had a great time, and I left happy. I was just trying to give my thoughts about future events.

And price per venue isn't based on the amount of turns on the track.

 

no but it is based on which track it is, how long the track is rented, how many drivers, insurance, EMT services (some require on track EMTs), and a ton of other things.

im not expecting the prices to go down for events like this, but if there wasnt a hurricane you would have probably gotten another 3 sessions.

 

How late did Kyle/owners plan on running?

Another 3 sessions would have kicked ass.

 

well to give an idea it was ended early at about 5pm with a final 2 laps for all the drivers that were still there.
