Well if this is in anyway projected at me, I would have to say I have put in so much effort into car development and track time (nearly 20 events last year) and actively trying to make my car out so its attractive to those sponsors by wasting money on paint and kits, I feel its unfair to say what you are saying. I don't want an unfair advantage in a competition, but you can't expect to go on national tv in a beat up car and have the public take drifting seriously. I don't think you are really directing it at me, but either way, knowing that motorsports is a package deal and not just driving ability (although it is sad to say that) is why a LOT of people aren't driving when they are capable.

I know I have a rep going but it took me a LONG LONG time to build up respect given how long I've been 'in the scene'. Either way, I'm not worried because I know I can drive pretty well, but I know slideways-for-5 is no joke. There are plenty of people that are good drivers in Florida.

I'll be happy with driving IRL without getting the TV show deal too, I just want to drive, because I simply f*cking love it.

I was in no way projecting that toward anyone in particular, esp. not you, i am rooting for you. (i was the guy with Noah in his rx7 last week in Gainesville btw)

all i was saying is that drifting is like ANY industry/sport, its part skill, part politics.

i got love for the sponsored drivers b/c i am very happy to see florida drivers get sponsored and make their way into the drift scene the way you have, i meant no disrepect to anyone. just saying that going out there and tearing up 1 or 2 events you may not walk away with a sponsor b/c of it. b/c you have to put in your dues, and show consistencey, and sometimes it takes a while to get noticed by the right ppl... :)

all i know is that i cant wait for this event, ter-tech ftV...w00t!

Judges Terence Jenkins , Bill Sherman and possibly Mike Peters or Blake Fuller, Announcing will be Rob Fleming

ROB IS KICK ASS as an announcer. Good choice.

Rob is a good choice for announcer but having 2 Judges from the same shop is going to cause a bit of drama.

and Mike Peters is a Tool, Do not let him Judge I don't care if he's fomula D or not. He's a douche bag and will not Judge Fairly. And Mike if you don't like what I just Said come find me at the event and We'll further the Discussion of you being a Douche.

actually ive been near mike when he has commented and judged people....and he does so pretty well. he doesnt cut slack either and doesn't sugar coat stuff. he isnt as bad as everyone thinks, but there are moments I want to shoot him in the nuts with a nailgun. the 2 judges from the same shop (heh, the shop i obviously drive for) is kinda iffy but they are the best qualified to judge IMO because they do know what they are talkin about... most of the time haha. its aight, i dont know why harri isnt judging... unless he is competing maybe? lol shit!
 
Track is set up it has a fast entry and very difficult end to it . anyone who gets it thru without spins and keeps it close to clipping points has to be a good driver.
I wont judge because of this bullshit. he should have won , no I mean him or her or his sister she did better.
This way I'm not affiliated with the judging so no one an blame me or cry to me, but if I feel from my point of view that someone was given more slack I will personally beat the crab out of that judge. Since Me and everybody who is affiliated with Ter-Tech are VERY VERY dedicated in being unbias towards anyone, we live by that.
Not like some other drifting comps in US and around the globe, so do me a favor and stop comparing us to them.
Thank you! come again! see you all out there on Sunday cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU'RE NOT FIRST YOU'RE LAST, RICKY BOBBY!!!!!!!!!! SHAKE AND BAKE !!!!!!!! BEST OF LUCK TO ALL THE DRIVERS.
Sincerely
Harri Tervola
 
I think Judging would be great if it was Bill Sherman, Blake Fuller, and Rob Fleming. That would be a good judge stand.

I've already got text messages about it.

But hey... news flash.... it's 10pm... D-Day minus 1..... my wheel just fell off while driving. yay me.

Endless night working.... another event where I get NO sleep the night before.
 
4am.... Vince just finished a base tune on the new turbo. We popped out the fender and put the wheel back on. Every bump or vibration now is traumatizing thinking the wheel is falling off again. I stopped literally 6 times in 5 miles to check my wheels
