The categorizing system is simple enough but it would be nice if the numbers were large and placed on the side of your car like scca that way you and they will know when your group is up and in what order since there are so many 240sx's that participate it looked a bit confusing. Instead of leaving it to the participants; in an scca event an official would line-up the groups to avoid any issues in terms of people forgetting orders or trying to cheat thier place in line. If the class system is of rookie-pro style than it doesn't benefit beginners but it's understandable to me because it showed that you needed to work and earn your way to the top. It's more of tough love respect is given when it's earned type of deal.

On the other-hand these drift events are still somewhat new, you don't have a national organization backing you up. There is no rulebook or guidelines and therefore there isn't much discipline or organization. When I was asking as to where I can stand to take photos one event worker would tell me one thing and another person would tell me something to the contrary.

Overall I liked the vibe actually, it was a free for all type of event. Most of the people were cool and call me crazy but the somewhat cluttered feeling made it feel really homegrown/underground, it was laid back and wasn't anal retentive like the scca can be when it comes to tech inspection for example. You're either going to hate it or love it. There were people with stock cars and stock suspension running, every fc there was n/a and what many were able to do with so little power was impressive. There wasn't a show-car look at me type of vibe at all and the few that were there just for that probably didn't get the attention they wanted.

No dammit , im afraid of being in a sea of cones and them all looking the same as you said here......


Lawn Dart said:
The cones were sparsely laid to border the course, which is very confusing because at 50mph and sideways, they all look the same. I had just a microsecond to figure out which two of twenty identical cones that I was supposed to go through.

Yep, I like that analogy. In addition, a welded differential is not a (LSD) limited slip differential. It is a locked axle. Lockers are good for 4wd trucks that require maximum traction. Personally, I'd rather have an open differential.

You are just dropping it off today, and I am checking to make sure everything is there. Before we start anything I wan to make sure we won't be waiting on any parts. I don't have time or room for your car to be sitting in the garage.

Remember between 1 and 2.
