so how would YOU FIX IT?
240sx only class?
AE86 only class?
350z only class?
the problem with drifting is its really about DRIVER SKILL. in drag racing its the most money usually that wins.
Look at Andy Sapp, he has a 180whp BMW, no tire sponsors, and everyone knows him. and he competes against PRO cars. If he can do it why cant others? because Andy drives the shit out of his car. Other people just arent as good.
In drifting EVERYONE makes 300-400whp, everone has similar setups. so where do you draw the line between PRO and AMATEUR? Guys that have sponsors an guys that dont?
so what type of sponsorship? what if megan gives you free coilovers? is that the same as someone with BF GoodRich in their backpocket giving them 1000 tires a year and unlimited budget to build their car?
I get what you are saying, but someone made a great point. These competitions are for practice, they are for fun, sure you can win, but against NICER CARS (meaning better setup) then yes your odds are smaller.
You cant expect to compete with a 240sx with a welded diff and a 220whp SR. its not gonna happen. But you can try, get better, do more mods, keep trying, do more mods, etc.
Life is hard, its not fair sometimes, and especially in racing, there is ALWAYS SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU. So you can either try to segregate yourself from everyone else so you can get a cool little trophy (LAME) or you can step up and try to win, and realize that to be the best it costs time, money, effort, blood, swear, and tears.
if you arent prepared for that sacrifice, then racing isnt for you.
Anyone making assumptions about how easy BG has it has no idea what it takes. I have learned alot in the last month about just how hard it REALLY is.
