Ter-Tech Feb. 25 Drift Event

Your entry needed alot of work, you were going pretty slow and very late entry that = understeer. You did better in the slower corners. Plus you pulling the ebrake slowed you down more. Next time, use shift lock instead.

personally i feel unless you are trying to down gear (to reduce speed for the next corner) using shift lock is slow and not agressive. clutch kick or feint (or a combination) is the most agressive way and fastest entry (foot is on the throttle). if speeds are extreme, 80+ or so, and a fairly skinny entry path, ebrake it for smoothness and consistency. shift lock as a initiation is also the most harsh method to the car and parts i believe.

just my opinion, i know rob d loves the shift-lock, i only use it to connect fast to slow turns.

i know its fun and an extra turn, but the more big events i go to, the more i hear from the judges that manji entry is not what they want to see. we had such a small number of runs i only saw 2 or 3 of you so i cant tell what u were trying to do or what u 'happened' to do, not saying good or bad since i sucked something awful hahahaha.

Man dont try to seem hard on here man. cause you damn well know you won't be this ballsy in person. if you have something to say you know where i live come to my face like a man and stop this stalking me on the forums bullshit. waiting for me to post so you can say something. ONCE AGAIN THE EVENT WAS THE SHIT(DONT MEAN TO THREAD JACK)
 
What an amazing turn out, soooooo many people came out to support it was really awsome.

Btw, I wanna thank Juan and the BMPC guy who let me take pictures with their cars.

Hi! I'm the retarded girl wearing the I'm in love with a drifter shirt :)
 
Rob is a good announcer b/c he can talk to himself for hours on end.

I did think he was being overly facetious towards Funk however. Tough love? Probably.

jason i watched alot of you videos and your clutchkick entries get alittle boring. the Mid-Ohio event it looked like people were braking because you were going in slower then them then clutchkicking. yes that means no braking but it ususally mean throttle lift on the straightaway before the first turn. you are a good driver you should be able to get rid of the clutchkicking bad habit. Going in too fast then adjusting with the ebrake entry angle and speed it more what i think judges would want to see. thats is why i was so impressed with Noah and Erick's entires. who had the highest entry speed by the way.

hahahah thats exactly what it was..

i really enjoyed the event despite all the negativity twards how it was ran. i personally i think for a "competition" style event it was ok.. sometimes shit happens..

when we got there and i saw travis drive i knew right then and there that he was going to go to the wdc deal. not that he was the best driver there it was that he was the driver who had his shit together. nice car nice rig most professional attitude and as a whole package wins.. there were alot of people there who i thought drove better lines on the course had better technique behind the wheel but fell short of that "professional" stature that travis brings to the game. btw one of the nicest guys there..


you cant expect to do well running on energy drinks and testicular fortitude alone.. you/we need to be much more prepared for events like this.. on our end team jdm market we suck
and need to just learn from experiences like this..

S-chassis don't rotate like FC's or E30's by simple throttle lift. Clutch kick or ebrake entries ftw. I would have been clutch kicking the shit out of my car if I were driving that event. And I think it was the stage6 s14 w/ the highest entry speed.
 
Throughout the day others started improving their entry speeds. I know until the 2-3 run group practice run, I was still holding the highest because the gun was out of batteries when Chelsea went lol......

ahhhhhhhhhhh my fc doesnt rotate when i lift off the throttle...... ive watched the video of myself and there was no throttle lift to get my car sideways. if anything my car would grip not rotate. i know i didnt have the fastest entry either, but i sure the hell was trying! :bigthumbu

i meant throttle lift to slow down in the straight not for initiation.
 
Highest entry out of the 40 drivers was 62mph Travis Deems.
most others were between 49-53mph. 2nd gear.
 
I've been on here a while guys, but I don't post often. I'm the Media/Sponsorship Director for Drift Star Syndicate. I just want to correct something I see in many forums, and this by no means is to hate on anyone. Both cars fielded by DSS, Travis Deems' S13 and Zoli Hajdu's S14, are Drift Star Syndicate cars. The cars were built by the respective owners and members of Drift Star Syndicate.

Stage 6 is an amazing sponsor, and they have helped us out in many many ways. We couldn't be where we are, our have the range to do the events we do without them. But in no way does Stage 6 own either car.

Congrats on the entry speed Travis... who would of thought a fat man would go that fast. Hahahaha

then i have a shit ton more respect for those cars/drivers now .. i thought they were shopcars..

as far as entry speeds.. there was only a few in the upper 50's .. i think anything over 55 without a huge manji entry is baller on that course..
