I am not sure if anyone on here is planning to compete...but just be sure to know there are super stringent safety requirements for these events. So make sure you check them out.

You need a Roll Cage or something?I want to play but if I have to mod my car just to have fun. Then no thanks!

Post by **Drakon** » Tue Feb 17, 2004 8:57 am

if all you have is a stock 90 s13 u couldnt do S anyways. u would look retarded out there with actual drifters. No one wants to see you anyways good thing you hate moding your car. oh and ur car isnt a silvia its a 240sx.

Eneways, so I would enter but I'm still workin on my car and dont know if my suspension will be bought and in by then. maybe next year.

Ok WTF?I was just asking did i need a roll cage.Why the **** are you being an a *** hole and say **** about my car if you never even seen my car or know who i am.I never say I hate moding my car! And I do have a SR20DET so that SOMEWHAT make my car a Silvia (since a Real Silvia is JDM Right Hand Drive)! I was just saying If I need a Roll cage then I would not spend the Extra money to just to compet!!!!

Anyway My point is **** off!

Also Since you are trying to be a Smart ***. If you look under my replys it says 90 240SX Coupe. And Also why the **** are you reading the little letter on the left anyway? You must have **** load of time. I got a Idea for you Go **** your self or something.

not a full roll cage, only a roll bar, helmet is required, and no window nets are not required. come register for the car show portion if you don't want to compete.

wow, you're pretty damn elite man :rolleyes . i'm sure EVERYONE and their brother wants to see you get out there and try to drift too. and i know plenty of drivers that could do plenty with a basically stock car, it's all in the driver's skill.

lastly, your car isn't even ready for this event, and you're knocking someone else because they don't want to throw down a grip of cash on a 4pt rollbar just to be able to go slide their car? i'm in the same boat as him, i'm not going to spend that much money on one friggin event when every other drift day out there doesn't require such safety margins. i could see the requirement of a cage/bar for the tandem drivers, but for solo driving it's overkill for the average joe. there's plenty of runoff room in turn 10 at road atlanta and the speeds attained while drifting this turn aren't any higher than 70-75mph for most guys trying it. so quit being an internet drifter and go work on your car or something:rolleyes

Not sure on that, it took me like 18 hrs or so to get to manhattan in a bus from SC., so i would imagine at NORMAL highway speeds you would be looking at about the same timeframe, even with the 2-3 extra hours to ATL once u get to SC.

Best Honda Civic WTF? OI I know FWD cars are used for drifting, but when I think of a drift event the Honda Civic does not come to mind. Why would you have a seperate class just for the civic? I mean how many people really give a damn about some "pimped out" civic?

due to the popularity of honda civics and the amount of civics that will be competing in the car show, a separate class has been made.

Post by **krazy skwerel** » Tue Feb 17, 2004 8:57 am

Let it be know that I really ****ing hate honda civics that are show cars. Well other than that seems like it will be a cool event. I am gonna try my best to make it and watch the drifting action.

Post by **Maertspils** » Tue Feb 17, 2004 8:57 am

for those who wish to register for the car show, please go ahead and do so on http://www.formulad.com space is limited!

Post by **andrave** » Tue Feb 17, 2004 8:57 am

jersey to atlanta would be... lets see... I'd guess going the speed limit, from the jersey state line, around 12 I'd guess. I'd like to go but I doubt I'll drive that far (its about 6 hours for me, looks like). Too much gas, not enough hotel money, etc. I was actually thinking about taking some 101 drift classes at the cloverleaf event that weekend in richmond. How much is it to get into the atlanta event (to spectate?)
