REAL TALK: WHAT DRIFTING IN FLORIDA NEEDS IS SOME SERIOUS THIRD GEAR CLUTCH KICKING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND IF YOU GUYS WANT FRESH SARUSSI SAMMICH YOU BETTER SHOW UP ON TIME AND PROFESSIONAL
If I had a choice on picking you Erik or the 17 year old kid with Vaughn Gittin's Mustang which person would you want me to choose to run a "silly" demo at homestead??
If the D1 truck showed up 20 minutes before I would want my money back because I AM PAYING TO SEE THE EVENT I'm a spectator I payed to see an event if the guys are not there to provide entertainment for me I leave and ask for my money back.
I Didn't get a free pass or wasen't forced to watch drifting or road racing
Please be more specific on the terrible organization and the pairing of the drivers... Cause I did that...
If I showed up in a car with no cage, in flip flops and a T-Shirt vs that guy. Who would you pick?
So you're saying you would let them in to drift Homestead, right?
Seriously Moe? That mini-competition was so poorly run. First I was up against Bill Fisher. He didn't make the run, so I was told he was disqualified. I did my runs by myself.
Then while I wait for my next match, I get paired with Bill Fisher now that he's there. And it's cool if it's a demo, didn't quite get it as a competition standpoint, but whatever I went out. I advanced.
Then I get paired with Juan. Cool battle, I spin and lose. I was told I was going to go OMT because I went 4 times against Bill Fisher so it'd be the same way with Juan.
Then I get paired with Ryan. So at this point I figured it was just called a loss (like it should've been) and I was battling for 3rd place. Apparently that was just an exhibition, because on the final scores, Ryan actually battled Raffi for 3rd.
So very confusing competition from my standpoint. I also have the whole hour recorded on my in car camera, and there's a solid 10 minute break where for whatever reason we just weren't running.
The judging guys also complained a lot about trouble communicating with the line... such as wrong pairings, etc.
But those are just details, as we're there for a crowd and it seems like the crowd was excited to see the cars going out in tandem.
blame the wait on Finklewhine. his intercooler and/or injector o-ring was leaking more than his exhaust manifold.
well thank god you can keep doing what your doing moe, now that erick has given you permission..
Moe u rules . end of story ...
Wow.
You guys are fucking retards.
You're gonna complain about driving a real road course with elevation change in FL?!
Moe, I will gladly come down there in my v8 car when its done, if there are more of these.
I cant believe lil cry babies complaining that they have to have a cage and wear a suit. to tandem on a legit roadcourse.
you guys fucking amaze me sometimes. Youre gonna complain about getting to do something you love to do for free.
My two cents the whole event was lame not only the drifting the road racing and so forth was basically empty there where more regular cars in the pits then race cars, normally pits are totally packed. And for the 4 drivers trying to fill an hour of straight driving in 100 degree weather. Driving was poor from me forsure but theres many factors for all the drivers as too why the driving wasnt up to par, cars overheated, tires overheated-finished. My subframe was broken in two so the car was super unpredicable. All the drivers drove there ass off ignoring all sensible signs telling them to take a break, and let the car cooldown. Props from me to other drivers. So i say the event failed as a whole from road racing, the dumb dragracing, and drifting. I have been to all the recent demos and never seen one so dead. Moe you did a great job with what you had and all the drifters put there cars (motors) on the line for sure.
So you are telling me that we should stop doing events at homestead becuase people want to see us crash and drifting FAILS IN FLORIDA!!! RIGHT???
Has Kevin Phillips drifted homestead before???
Have you ever attended a homestead demo??
Have you see the media and people that come up to me and the drivers wanting to find out more about drifting???
Please correct me if I'm wrong Kevin but HOW WRONG ARE WE DOING THIS???
What can Kevin Phillips tells us drifters to do things the right way!!!!!!!
No thank you!!! for your disrespectful badgering. its greatly appreciatedYou feedback on the event is greatly appriciated
