If this is directed to me, please quote where I said that. Just because everyone is coming in here with their opinions doesn't mean you get to twist my words. If not then my apologies.

Either way, if you want to be pro you need to be prepared to do exactly that. Don't confuse the line between amateur/practice events and PRO Motorsports. Either way, what was quoted in this thread which started this debate was not about any of this. It was a simple opinion that I have based on my experience with drift events. It shouldn't have turned into I suck and am ignorant and so on. That was uncalled for. To start a whole new thread was also ridiculous. It was obviously started for the intended purpose to call me out and be mean to me. AND to bring in how we have gotten where we are and to assume you know anything about that is absurd this whole you have a race car and I built my car in my back yard is a stupid defense. Dan built our Supra on jack stands in our apartment complex driveway for the first 6 months (we didn't have a shop). We started on the streets just like most of you. We built the supra with all the money we had and some that we didn't with tools from his dad's carport and jack stands from Pep Boys. We have a shop because he built the crap out of the Supra and whooped up on everyone in town with it. The shop was started by demand. I'm flattered that our perceived value is so big. If you only knew.
