    yeah the drifting this year was amazing...especially the viper vs corrolla heat (which they did over like 4 times)...i still can't believe how approachable the drivers are....i had like a 15 minute conversation with rhys millen...the car show kinda sucked...but overall i had a blast!

    does anyone think theres a conspiracy for the viper to win? i mean, the corolla was doing well, especially since it had 1/4th of the power of the viper. it sure was holding his own..and all of a sudden ends up with an overheating problem

    The corolla is an old car. I believe it. The AE86 did well, but the Viper OWN3D all!

    yea and everyone saw how well chevy held it down....and to go back to when everyone used to hate that they were letting american cars into japanese drifting...i'm glad they did cause the el camino, gto, viper, and mustangs made the whole thing alot more interesting and fun to me

    no sammuel didnt whip ass and the viper didnt own all. he won by DEFAULT. yes hes a real good driver but to advance cause a car "overheaded" come on. the 86 kicked ass and should have won if they judged it and not said "one more time". there were runs closer than them two that they advanced. but thats IMO

    Too few people showing, too much time, and too far from everywhere else stuff happened. In the end, a car w/ one body mod and a very undetailed engine won BOS, and there were 2 civics that should beat that car to a pulp on a score sheet.

    it looked like, to me at least, the same amount of people (or even more) showed up compared to last year....granted friday there wasn't many people at all...but saturday it was seemed pretty filled to me....

    bear in mind...i'm not the best judge of crowd capacity

    Thanks alot , its a nice daily driver IMO, barely a show vehicle.

    Julio, the Tsunami/Kicker mustang won BOS. Great paint but no graphics in his jambs...they just stop (one body mod w/ the tail light sliding out) and a few polished engine pieces, (Not like Jeff and especially Tim w/ swap, and turbo, and polish etc etc) and its dash was awesome, but they gave Jeff best interior. So what made it the Best? We thought it was Jeff or Tim for sure. They typically like more flash than subtle, so we thought we had a better than 50% chance.... We were wrong.

    the american cars did very good b/c of the gay ass track. that up hill push to to much for most of the jap cars. where they more turns and none of that uphill shit it would have been a different story.

    Yeah Josh, Jeff had never lost to that car til now. (in like 5-6 shows) Jeff knew it was him or Tim, once the Honda class was called we thought he was good, until he got best interior, then we all were prepared for it. If there was no $1,000 for BOS, I wouldnt even made a comment in reply on here, but we stayed up all night to try to win the $$ ... and if we knew this would have been comin, we'd not been puttin ALL the glass in Jeffs car at 10:30 Fri eve.
    Oh well, We will still return in Oct, and give them NO excuses... except possibly someone else really is better.

    the fd has an SR20 in it....also the judging ended at the bottom of the hill so none of the uphill mattered?
