ATTN: TRACY "Hachi/Miata Pity Points"

[Tracy]

No problem.

If any of you think that you can do better, feel free to plunk down the, oh...$2500 track rental fee, $800-$1500 insurance fee, $500 safety crew fee for the day depending on where you are, get your ass up at 4:30 in the morning to go set up the track, spend over 18 hours at the event for set-up, running and clean up (because none of you asses EVER pick up your own shit, so event organizers get to do it after you leave). Do all that and throw your own event. Then you can safely complain about the way they run theirs.

BTW, nice Hachi!!!

[Glides]

THANKS!!!!!

[Tracy]

THANKS!!!!!

Way cooler than the 240, IMO, that is if I'm allowed to have one. I'm sure you'll rawk it just as hard.

The sport will grow in time, growth doesn't happen over night. Thats a lot of whats wrong with drifting now. The sport has grown so fast that it can't keep up with itself.

Matt

riggght when it blows up let me know. won't be holding my breath tho. until they get smarter about it, it will always be sports entertainment and not a competition, when it becomes more of a competition then it has the possibility of growing into something more and serious.

I'm pretty sure that what he said...but I could be wrong.

BTW, it is a competition. Just because one doesn't get it, doesn't mean it's not legit.

Actually, it's the fastest growing motorsport in the United States at this moment and gaining ground worldwide. You don't get serious sponsors like factory backing by being just entertainment.

Yea, I like the Rolla, still messing witht he tune on it. Megasquirt = suxxors.

Yea, Dan hates it. You should try to Spectre thing. Based off the Mega Squirt, but already put together with other features.

IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO DRIFT, THAN DON'T FUCKING DRIFT!!

Dude, who told you to drive your DAILY driven car??? Sorry to break the news to you buddy, but shit happens. I know I can't drift competively, I can't afford it. I love going to events and messing around and gain skills, but I don't bitch about people that have shops. They make a LIVING around it, they don't go for shits and giggles like some of the other us.

You better get a good grasp on motorsports before writing a rant like this.

I've met you plenty of times at Barrett. Feel free to call me out next time I'm out.

[chnco]

oh, BTW, I'll be drifting a hachi soon enough.

mmmmm strongbow

[ShooterMcGavin]

bump...

i cant believe this thread is done already.

lol, whatta instigator

[ShooterMcGavin]

go on? what is this cider/beer you speak of?

u've never heard of or tried strongbow?

[ShooterMcGavin]

You know, every time you lie, god kills an Ethiopian.

and here i thought he just did it cuz he didn't like them......cuz they're b____

lack




















of vitamins is bad for you

[ShooterMcGavin]

No pent up hostility at all, I'm not even into the drifting thing. I'm not sure what the point of youre post was, you did so much bitching about so much shit that I can't seem to narrow it down.

As far as the number of people that are competative, 6 to 8 is about right. On any given race weekend in a field of 30 or more about 5 or 6 guys are going to be competative. Thats just how things work.

all else aside, you should really learn the difference between:

YOUR
YOU'RE

[ShooterMcGavin]

lack
of vitamins is bad for you

bwahahahahahaha

[Killer]

u've never heard of or tried strongbow?

i have now it's decent...

[ShooterMcGavin]

i did on the way home

[ShooterMcGavin]

lol good call

[Tracy]

Well i was more than happy to help them and volunteer 'd at there events . So go attack someone else . All i am saying is at least have respect for the people who do not have it as well as some others in regards to competition.

So now choosing to buy a Hachi or Miata is only for those less fortunate???

I think they cost just about as much as a 240

There are plenty in FD and D1, built just as much as any 240 out there with just as much $$$ put into them.

Stop making this about me and make it about pity points for a Hachi or Miata.

[B18c1Turboed]

Danny,
Would you consider Tony1 a PRO driver? YES
Would you consider Peter a PRO driver? YES
Would you consider SPOOLIN a PRO driver? NO

[Killer]

only good thing that came from this thread?????



i discovered strongbow.. lol...

[Vteckidd]

Danny,
Would you consider Tony1 a PRO driver? YES
Would you consider Peter a PRO driver? YES
Would you consider SPOOLIN a PRO driver? NO

so you admit that even in a sportsman class there are PRO drivers.

kinda getting my point?

I feel you here. I couldn't afford drifting my daily driver so I traded for the Yaris and bought the Datsun. Even then I couldn't afford the maintenance on the Datsun in addition to tires and registration fees. So now I don't drift. It's that easy.

Tracy, why not introduce some sort of low-key tier system? You know, break it down by classes for cars. That way you don't get 400+HP Mustang's and 350Z's against 100-120HP AE86's and such. Just an idea.

Glides- Made an awesome statement, and Honestly changed my first oppinion ab this thread/situation. I totally agree

Estis: sry dude, Racing's always been ab who has more money/seat time then you. Even if you were to build specifically classed systems, there would be debate on whether or not it was still fair. Look at the SCCA and AutoX or any sanctioned Road racing for that matter. There is CONSTANT debate on whether the ruling on a SINGLE car make being in a certian class is fair or not...sometimes the powers that be see it fit to change the classing system, but not usually. Plain and simple, there is always someone that is going to be faster then you, more experienced then you, has more money to invest then you, has a better team and so on... You have to decide whether or not you are going to allow that to stop you from competing and involving yourself in the "hobby" you apparently love so much. Competing against professionals only makes you that much better a driver if you can even keep up.

Big baller: You're such an Asshole lol...Gluck at Thunderhill/koni challenge. Glad to see some ppl are actually doing what they say instead of just talking

Tracy: Duh you have no respectable Opinion.....YOU'RE A WOMAN...GEEZEEE!!!!!! lol

[CopyRight]

tracy let's her snaggle tooth do all the talking....it's the brains of the whole operation.

[Leadfoot_mf]

everyone please stop calling it a sport it is not a sport. anything that is judged to deem the winner is not a sport.

[Ran]

Sport (n) -

a. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.
b. A particular form of this activity.
2. An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively.
3. An active pastime; recreation.

It's a motorsport. Quit with the "mightier than thou" bullsh*t.

[Glides]

Hmm. So I guess with your reasoning Ice Skating, Gymnastics, Diving and many other sports that are grouped in with Olympic sports are not sports?

Do you honestly believe the shit that you just typed? If you do, you need help. Stay SmashT


Version 2.24 on the Megasquirt. I actually got the car because the Megasquirt corrupted and dumped the firmware.

[Doppelgänger]

I feel forry for anyone taking Ledfoot seriously lololol

Its true I am an asshole, but most of the people here have no other experience with any other form of motorsports on a higher level, I do....which doesn't make me better than them it just makes my opinion different. I understand what it takes to get a pro ride. For me its going to take a lot of sacrifice and that goes for my wife too. In the last 6 months she has probally seen me on 3 to 4 weekends total. I'm always gone to the track, I'm always trying to learn, to get faster, or to compete.

I'll post up more about Thunder-hill in the competition forum its going to be pretty crazy, we are bringing a couple of Rolex series guys with us.

I'm going to help you and be your agent I know the ropes and I love you.

I sacrificed my everything for what we do. Although, I wouldn't give it back for anything. Your wife handles it pretty well...not without complaints, but she deserves props just for putting up with you period.

edit-and you are an asshole.

[BTLFED]

I just read all 8 pages and I can honestly say that this thread backfired. No one seems to grasp what Tracy and Dan went through to get where they are. Well, I mean, the usual suspects know (Me, Mr. Kidd, Big Baller, Allen, DRFTR), but there are people in here that don't have a grasp on reality. Catch the net, live in the now.

Glides, you are the fucking man. You truly grasp what is going on in this thread. Kudo's to you my friend, and reps awarded.
