I’m just getting into most of this…but to me its all open for interpretation…and definitely varies forum-to-forum. I have respect for both, and would like to be able to do both at some point or another in my life…regardless of what I do though, I’m not going to dismiss the other as gay. I’d put down drag racing as gay before I put down grip. ---

Anyone go to the cscs event at dunnville? It looked like it was a driving school for lady asian drivers. People were going off the course every 15 seconds. All we have is a select few of good/better than average drifters on this board and I think we have less than 10 of them here. I’ll name a few: jesse, theo, chris, samson, chris, vlad, wayne and I probably missed one or two more names. Everyone else is just a poser saying that they are into drift when they haven’t been to a drift event. Most people have just done some donuts in a parking lot. Oh and another thing. The amount of 240s that usually attend these grip days are usually less than 5. We will probably have 4 240s at the next grip event. Everyone on this board is more interested in building a “drift” car with baller parts to drive to the weekly meets. ---

honestly I think mark is partially right. I went to the cscs qualifying this year (the only AMATEUR drift event I’ve ever attended) and after being bored out of my mind for about 2 hours (it was a 4 hour event) I left. Along with about 10 other buddies who I was there with… we went to get food and the drive out of the parking lot was a shitload more entertaining than watching people drift. i went to one of those D1 events a long time ago, I can’t remember what it was called now - but it was ‘ok’. they had some wicked cars there and chunki bai and those clowns were there and they were hilarious to watch - but thats because not only are they professional drifters but also very good entertainers. When they weren’t doing their crazy antics it was just boring watching cars slide around wasting thousands upon thousands of dollars of rubber. I think amateur drifting in our area is going downhill - the guys who are awesome at it like those who mark mentioned… s1dc, etc. they have a chance to run with it but other than that there are maybe a handful of people that I know of who can hold it down. ---

You didn’t get my point when I listed all those names. I just take my car to the track to have fun. It’s like saying, where are you going by playing basketball, soccer, hockey. Not everyone is going to become a wayne gretzsky or Sasha. Stop being an idiot. And when you actually become a pro at drifting, then you can talk. But since you had to ask the question… Where do you think you’re going with drifting? Into a wall? ---

Instead of coming here to bitch, why don’t you rent a track and hold an event? Oh thats right, its hard to do that because most track owners realize the people drifting on it will be a buncha troll kids who can’t drift for shit and will probablly end up making a mess of the track. Me thinks you’re just jealous of Dip and Mark’s successful lapping events at Dunnville. ---

Not really, you can grip a stock car as well as drift it. Your points are kinda like a pencil that hasn’t been sharpened, useless. ---

I’m not bitching I’m expressing my feelings. There has been no track days. What do I care about dip and marks days Clearly jesse held the best day at dunnville if anything I’m jealous of him. Jealous of what? if I wanted I could host a grip day too.
