I guess I should say couple of words.
THANK YOU WDC!
THANK YOU OCTANETV! with out them this event would have never happened ( equals zero seat time)
THANK YOU MURRAYS!
THANK YOU BMPC!
THANK YOU BRAILLE AUTO!
THANK YOU AERO K!
THANK YOU MY CULTURE CLOTHING!
EXTREMELY BIG THANKS TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to Sweet Basil!
This event was design and solely set to find a driver for IRL as advertized, the person in charge of this selection is Terence Jenkins from WDC and OctaneTV. The event was therefor run to please the Television crews which by the way are the ones that will get you guys sponsored. This caused all the drivers to suffer from seat time which I truly hoped we would have had more of. But in the end this will bring more publicity to drifting which will help us and you guys to get sponsored, which in turn means more events.
The 45 min brake was so we can count the scores and top 12 was easy to select, but the rest was very difficult since none of the judges really agreed 100% who should be the drivers 13-16. But in the end the top three drivers were selected by all the judges agreeing that they would be happy and proud to Tandem drift with any one of them at IRL so mad props to Travis Deems, Chelsey Denofa and Juan Henao.
Pleasing the media and sponsors was unfortunately something that took lots of time, but we can stop that and stop inviting any possible sponsors to the competitions so drivers will get more seat time, if this is what you guys want????
So again this was NOT a practise it was a competition
and for the comment that FD gives more practise time is a LIE they get 3 runs for practise and 2 qualifiers if you dont qualifie you are OUT period.
