Rainy Day Fun
Rainy Day Fun
It hit me yesterday. D1 is rain or shine right? I hope the rain lasts through saturday, should make things interesting:D I can't wait!
yeah i think its rain or shine. i think it would look very bad if they cancelled it bc of rain.
IMO i think D1 isnt a good investment bc all you do is stand outside and watch them from afar for a few hrs, unless it ur 1st time then it might be exciting. If i were you id save my money for hot import nights next month, its at night and its like a big party!!. Last octobers was pretty awesome, except for that one dude in line infront of me who kept asking if cherie roberts was gonna appear (he followed her from NY, hawaii and 6 other states) . and i think id be more your moneys worth bc therye teh same price anyway. btw whos going to next months HIN in L.A.??? i sure would like to have a meet

HIN instead of D1? Are you kidding? And you don't just stand and watch from afar. I'm pretty sure there are open pits and you can walk around and talk the drivers. Trackside tickets at the last event rocked and that was just exhibition. There is also a car show as well (I think). One thing I'll give you though, HIN does have more T&A :naughty

, and all the undergage ones suck. And some of the cars are decent at hin. i went to teh last d1, just didnt do it for me.
In my experience, the cars at car shows are owned by people who have never raced them and have no proof that any bolt on or engine swap really works well. Their cars seem to be a collection of parts that look pretty and not a well thought out combination that is proven to work. I just don't have much respect for somebody who builds a car just for car shows. Cars, and especially performance cars, are meant to be driven. Part of the display for a car with performance mods should be a dyno sheet and a time slip, maybe even a video of the car in action.
I like talking with girls and listening to music just as much as anybody, but at a car show I want to see cars. HIN is just a night club that happens to have cars involved.

you just proved my point,
cmon guys grow up, dont be close minded. im just not into cars as i was before. anytime i talk with someone i just pretend i dont know anything about cars, dont get me wrong, i do drift and race but i dont feel anyone needs to know i do those things. HIN is not a rice reunion, its full of cars that are modified at an attempt to please the audience at hand. but if they cant succeed at that theres always the alternative, to party. they dont put all their eggs in 1 basket so the audience would just have to put up with 1 theme.

Well, car shows are kind of played out here in the bay area. We get at least 2-3 hot import nights shows per year and probably 6 other import car shows. The D1 event next week is going to be an actual competition so it should be much better than last year. I know at least 15 people from the bay area 240 community that are driving to LA to see the D1 event for the 2nd time.
