Would people stop being so vague. WHY WAS THE EVENT POORLY RAN. GIVE EXAMPLES. fuck... And be clear with it. You guys look like a 4 year old that doesn't like pizza just because they dont want to like it. No reason not to like it. They just don't feel like liking it.

it all comes down to you. noone holds a gun to your head and says drift the oval or die. it sucks because i miss ocala and hialeah and all the other bad ass drift events we used to have. but you have to llok out at what the organizers want to because they could ruin it for the rest of us if yuo don't keep them in check. its not like we're on the west coast ad have a ton of places to hold events at. its florida and we have shit for venue's. even dgtrials has had some bad things come threw them. i can name off several venues' we're not allowed back to thanks to some mishandling of things. drifting is barely hanging on in this state so i can see the reason for people's concern's. but most of the people opening their mouth's aren't even the real hard core drifter's.


so STFU.


edit::: if there's an event just go to it! peroid. fuck all the bullshit, it should be about having fun, i think drifting should have stayed a hobby and not gone so main stream. it would have been alot more fun that way.

okay i don't understand.......so maybe ill do more to explain. first Fastdrifter event i went to was the mourning after i wrecked my FC..about 30 cars and we only shared the track with a few karts. second one i missed cause i didnt have my FC back...Third one i went to and it sucked...not because it was on an oval.....not because Bobby wants to make money....ive said before that it is good that he wants money...it'll make him work harder at making us happy and willing to put on a show. here is some of my issues maybe i should have just put actual facts up so i won't have all this BS attitude towards me....

1. Arguing with FAST TRUCK rednecks about practice time. it took me about a six minutes to be able to connect the whole oval. second 3 minute session.
2. Fast Trucks coming out on the course while we still had time to practice. even though the agreed to give us 30 minutes before they would run again. after every body ran once(at 3 minutes) they wanted to go.......5 cars times 3 equals 15 minutes.
3. Bobby was nowhere to be found the whole time the REDNECKS were giving us problems.
4. We paid to be in a competion and didnt get one then didnt get refunded any of the money.....just the fee waived .....then the next event cancelled ..fee waived again...how many times is that gonna happen....and how much gas money am i gonna waste to find out.
5. Bobby needs to do some research on drifting.
6. 30 cars for 1st event, 12 cars for 2nd event, 5 cars for 3rd event. i was at 2 out of 3 of those so i feel i have a right to comment on the subject.
7. OVALS DO SUCK. im mean come on the events i used to have on a kart track never had one death of a perfectly good drift car(shit not even close, well this guy did rip his front lip off and a JDM levin got a scratch in the bumper)....ive seen all the ovals here kill plenty of them.
8. No Place to set up at the last event..jacking cars up in dirt and sand WTF?
9. ALOT of other people said worst things then i did....i don't hate bobby i just think he needs to take some time to figure that shit out and not waste our times.
10. FUCK YOU TOO. hachi bill posted on one of my threads damn i must be bigtime.

my personal opinion:

there needs to be safer events for guys going out to learn to drift. your right, we have few venues, but if the only ones are ovals, and we keep going, then we're technically supporting the wrong thing.

If we create an event, and tell people its a drift event, they will come. If we say its an advanced skill event, and only let 10 or so skilled drivers in, then thats different.

There is little forgiveness for mistakes on an oval. Pave the infield, or just move the events to a track or parking lot. People wonder why attendance #'s are down, because each event a car or two gets totalled. That is NOT how drifting is supposed to be. Thats not a penalty, or a price you pay, thats a poor choice of venue, and poor screening of drivers prior to letting them onto the track.

So, I ask the event creators, to please, get us off the ovals, find us some parking lots, find us some normal tracks, skidpads, etc, and stop pushing the oval nonsense. Im tired of seeing cars come back wrecked. To say anything less is ignorant.

The scene will support any drift event, thats why kids risk totalling their cars at unsafe venues, because frankly, where else can they go. Find some other alternatives please.
