[Nopaintsls]

Smartass :chuckles:


:D

[ToyotaTwo]

I think last year was better....

well they did have more cars this year

I agree with last year being better... had the "one more time" thing more frequent... oh, and that 86 Viper battle that was forever

[driftcharger]

ANYBODY KNOW WHO ONE FROM ROAD ATLANTA D1 EVENT I LEFT AT 6:45

[umfogotmyname2111]

umm...Tanner Foust won in the yellow and blackAEM Nissan 350Z against the Srt-10 Dodve Viper.

[down_shift]

1. Tanner Foust
2. Samueal Hubbinette
3. Dai Yoshihara
4. Rhys Millen

[imbosile]

SHIT, i just realized i missed this event, it completely slipped my mind. god damnit

[Nopaintsls]

umm...Tanner Foust won in the yellow and blackAEM Nissan 350Z against the Srt-10 Dodve Viper.


oh really.....

[Minze]

tanner foust was consistent all weekend. he held his drift on the last left turn and up the hill almost 90% of his runs.

[bluuuurr]

I don't think the judging system is the best.. there were a few tandem runs where I felt the decision was made in the wrong. Like Taka vs. the Jasper Supra..

[wantboost]

^^ yeah. the one i was confused with was the viper vs. the gold 240 (forget the name) in the round of 16. i felt the reason the viper won was because of the name (mopar bding the sponsor) just my .02

[bluuuurr]

YES.. that one pissed me off. the s13 was devouring that v10... booo... atleast Tanner Foust won fairly. I'm surprised they didn't call a one more time on that, lol.

[Minze]

when they had millen and the rockstar 240sx tandem battle, the 240 imo and the crowd's opinion, had won...that announcer dude was like...who won this battle!!! he called the names of the 2 drivers. it was silent for millen and everybody said the 240sx won but he called a one more time. yeah, the judging was a little off.

[Ran]

Sam won due to less corrections. he ran behind Petty so close he nearly bumped him but kept a good run going. when petty followed he wasn't as close and had to correct a few times to keep up with Sam. still a great set of runs but Hubinette was the smoother driver on those.

[green91]

this year was 10000x better than last year, the over all skill level was much better imo

[speedminded]

this year was 10000x better than last year, the over all skill level was much better imoi came, i saw, i left.

naw, you're right...not only the driver's but the crowd too...i predicted HIN would not come back and neither would Formula D, good to be wrong sometimes....I'll never forget the "white on rice" race last year though :D

[98Impreza234]
