Desoto Drift NOPI Qualifier Thoughts

First of all thank you and rest of the crew for the event.
and (name is Antti not Annti)
Only thing I really didn't like was that track was dirty. Oh well.
Track wasn't really that hard...was actually really fun layout...couldn't do it better there.
Everything was explained at the drivers meeting...And I think we only lost one practice run...you guys said it will be 5 runs each practice...last practice was 4 runs...so what.
And I agree it was also because of drivers...(maybe next time don't leave cones to the banking...you said to stay on the top of dark area...would save some time there...if you don't have to pick up all the cones from there...
And yes this wasn't practice event...so you have to come prepared to this ( for me it was first practice in two years plus new car what was put together night before...so it was test,practice)
I simply didn't get use to my car fast enough...didn't help also broken swaybar linkage.
But as far as event itself...can't really complain about the way it was run or anything else...just that track was dirty...but you already addressed this issue...let's hope there is no rain and tractor pulls next time.
Anyway...thanks for this event...at the end I did have fun there...learned and tested out my car...
these are my thoughts...
 
boxmod, I gotta hand it to you d00d. I don't know how you were able to put up with the track owner's rage at the parking lot, but you kept your cool. :thumbup:

Also props to the cone runners. I know those guys definitely got a workout. I remember at some points they would put back the cones in place only to have it all taken down again on the next run.
 
I got pieces of cone still on the underside of my car.

I need to build some type of razor sharp splitter since I spend so much time with them!!!
 
does anyone know the dude in the yellow evo who was going crazy in the grass parking lot and drifting and such? then they came out and got his license plate, and called the cops? i was laughing we got it on camera on my friends phone.

What I find interesting is that at the end of the day, that yellow Evo was back at the track.
 
I’d like to add on my thanks…..
