I have to pay for labor, I'm not badass enough to do a swap on my own, nor is it worth my time to take away from school and other things to bother to learn how.
Its not like I can "just go out get" another 80 to the wheels for cheap. Just look at the quote you gave me the other day matt! That sorta money dumping is worth it for what I would be getting. But running an event where it becomes a NECESSITY all because someone is wants to run on the big track is wrong.....
I dunno I think its an unfair bias for DG trials to place on an event, it places the victory easilly into the hands of anyone with money.....
Think of how many high powered cars were at the miami event? DGtrials, regina, and a KA-T with no suspension....... SO basically Eric is gonna go out there, create an event that requires power, nobody with power is gonna show up, and hes gonna win his own prizes?
I dunno, 2+2 isnt ='ing 4 right now.. Ive got more to say but I'm gonna leave it till we get some more replies..

As of yet I have not decided on the invites, but the people who ripped it up will get theirs. The "invite only"ness of the event is purely to keep those who spin out more often than not from crashing into the large immovable walls that line the course. Yameen?
Disregard everyone else's replies and look at Erik's reply. Erik never mentioned only inviting people with power, so this disproves your entire reply. Those that are good at drifting and are consistent enough to almost completely eliminate spinning out. Also, Matt has suspension and not power like people with SR's or turbo in general. Just setting your car up with suspension (not including power) makes a huge difference. I personally put blood sweat and tears into my car meaning, I worked hard and do work hard to have the money and I also worked on my car.
That is all.
