I would have to agree great answer. Good way to look professional Mr. Pro driver. Dude I am not attempting to disrespect anyone or anything I am just trying to help Ter-Tech make this event a little more friendly for the people whpo are struggling. Both of you guys need to look at this from a different standpoint. You are on the level now where everything that comes out of your mouth or fingers will be looked at carefully by potential sponsors so try and make it look like you want to be sponsored.

Those few committed guys who have prepped their cars by the rules, are ready to pass tech in PRO-Am, and D1. I don't see them complaining.
Lot of those rules are to protect the drivers. Doesn't benefit us at all.
I am sure tandem drivers are happy to have roll cage and fire systems.
Street class doesn't have to do anything different.
Entry fee is 150$ not 250$.(Those fees barely cover the insurance we have not even talking about advertising and track rental, don't forget most other places don't pay for tracks, money goes straight to the owners).
For 4 years people have asked for series. Some people have had more than 4 years to build their cars.
PM me if you have any questions.

I agree the rules for protection such as cage and fire suit are necessary but I think the rest of the rules are a little extreme. You have to remember that two series you just compared yourself to have been established and are big name companies who aren't even worries about making a name for themselves because they did that 4 years ago and D1 even longer. Right now as an underground series I think that it would be more driver cost friendly to just need a firesuit, cage and fire extinguisher. Like I said though just a little constructive criticism. I am trying to help you guys better the series I don't need you PMing me basically trying to find out if I am qualified to make constructive criticism.


Harri I appreciate the response and the fact that you didn't take offense to it. I didn't want it to be controversial I just wanted to suggest some ways that you could make the series take off and help the driver's who have the potential to get sponsored have an awesome chance to. The street series rules are fine and I apologize for mixing the cost up. Another gripe I have is the fact that the pro drivers are paying more for entry to slide than the street level class. What is the incentive to drive in the pro class if you have to pay more when you can just drive solo. I understand the pro level will give you more of a chance of being sponsored but I think maybe having the license should mean that you pay less entry cost to slide the event.

Thanks,
Dangle.

The reason Pro's pay additional $50 is that that $50 goes directly to their Purse, so at the end of the day they take home some money and Trophy.
Street class only gets a plaque at the end of the day.

Also the tech regulations are just what you said. Cage, Fire suit, Extinguisher, you forgot Helmet and harness those are the only thing that we will fail you and wont let you drive, rest are minimal stuff that you will get a warning and you'll have to fix it by the next event.

For example:

Catch cans for tranny and differential only apply if you run a one off (not OEM) tranny or diff, none of the drivers in Florida need to worry about that rule since I dont know anyone who has a minimum of $50 000 tranny?

If you relocate your battery every racing series in the world will require a outside cut off switch.

the point is and we have posted this before as well that only the safety rules are strickt rest are warnings etc.. so everyone should be able to fit it in their budget if ou are serious about running in the FDC.

The reason the rules are the way they are is two folded.
1. Insurance company requires these rules to run TANDEM. in another words without these there will be no tandem drifting in our events. ( some tracks might allow you to run tandem without these rules but if their insurance company finds out it will be lights out.)
2. To make our series Pro we need to have professional rules without them we look like a joke.

And also Ter-Tech is not here to make a name or compete against D1 or FD.
We have a name in Florida and thats where our market is.

That said who ever is running in the D1 event in Miami on the Ma 3rd needs to go and pre reg. go to http://www.d1gp.com/v2/latest/registration.html

Whats stupid is the amount of times you used stupid and you are repping the "Ter-Tech" name. The amount of tech rules that you have for this series is pretty ridiculous for most of the people in this sport. If you are not aware this country is in the middle of a recession and to spend approximately $5,000.00 dollars just prepping your car for this series to pay another $250.00 dollars in entry fee and that is excluding the tires and fuel costs just get your car ready to track this event. I am not knocking this series in any way I am just making some constructive criticism. Stop using the word stupid its demeaning and is extremely unprofessional. You think that a company who is interested in sponsoring the series wants to see someone who is repping the company hosting the series saying everything is stupid? Thats rhetorical.......If you take offense to this I am sorry but don't take it to heart find ways to improve on some of my standpoints and maybe you will have a better series.

You're looking at this from a "non-driver/not interested in driving the series" point of view. I really don't care how many times someone associated with Ter-tech uses a certain word, and I really doubt that I'm ever gonna pick up a sponsor running a FL series. It's no big deal. This shit is fun.

The people that are driving the series, or want to drive the series, look at the rulebook and say "oh I guess I need to do this, this and this to my car". It sucks, but you either do it, or just drive street class. Luckily my car was already 99% ready to go because I ran Nopi last year. If it wasn't for that I'd have a really tough time getting money together to drive the series. I really applaud those people that have gotten their shit together in the past couple of months. It would be awesome if everything kept going. It would be awesome if there weren't so many crybabies.

God damn right... if u are leading in front go as fast as possible as I am trying to hit u.. if u fuck up, you will get t-boned.....

Most of the dedicated drivers I can think of as of this point aren't complainin about the rule book... honestly people driving street class or spectators seem to be making more of a stink about the rules than us.. honestly compared to any other series this shit is pretty basic to pass tech.. and if u wana drive any other series you got to do a bunch more shit so having your car fdc legal just gets you that much closer to fd or d1 spec. I built my car like 2 months ago basically by going off the fd rule book.. that way for fdc its over kill but. Atleast I don't have to worry about not passing tech at anywhere.. all of the things harri requires are things you should want to have done to your car if you plan on going 90mph with another car right next to you... and the likely hood of gettin a sweet big help legit sponsor only driving a florida local series during an economic recession is kinda slim so look as rediculous as possible... atleast then you'll stand out from a crowd.

And I completely forgot where I was going with this or what I was even talkin about so if nothing I said made sense, .... good talk.
