So you're saying you know a guy as rad as Rob and think it's still gay...damn son you've got some issues :bigtu:

I see Loki's point - it's not the drivers that decide who wins. When you finish the "race" you still don't know who won. I think the figure skating reference is pretty good- then road racing might be the hockey.

Yup, cool guy. Really fuckin cool guy. All the tougee factory guys are cool. Always let me use their tools and play with the toys.

But if he was a ballerina he would still be cool, but dancing around in a tutu sp? is still gay.

I'd rather watch smash-up-derby. Or rednecks racing school buses.

I went to a local drift event here and I have to admit, it's just not that exciting. Then again I love road racing, but rarely watch it on tv and never go as a spectator. I'd rather go drive my car on the street - or wrench on it. It's hard to get off on other people having more fun than me. ;)

i did an hdpe at hyperfest last year. all the racer went to watch the drifters after the say was over. lets just say we were all cheering when they crashed.

now besides the fact.

1. dont care who you are, judging the car is open to all opinions (tom im sure you didnt like smelling my exhaust last time we were driving, you can point and laugh at that if you want)

2. it doesnt get gayer than hello kitty

3. what satire? since my car is from japan i should put pokemon in it? since im black i should put LV all over it? i dont get it.

4. this thread is stupid.

5. i would love to drive that miata, drive is in italics cause i wouldn't want to drift it.

6. tom i need that stim back!

7. im gay and i still dont like hello kitty

8. my wife likes hello kitty, i just asked her if shed put it in her car and she laughed and now thinks im gay.

9. im bored im going home.

oxymorons. chose one fewl. :nono:

don't leave your wife when she's 40 because you finally found your "partner for life"

I thought it was just me.

I doubt there's many passive-activity members here... except for those trying to make 20 posts so they can sell their goods in the classifieds.

Personally I like drifting (durrrr). I actually am building my car to be both drift and road race. To be honest both are pretty similar. The judging aspect of drifting is pretty easy to be honest. It's easy as hell to spot who's going to advance and if it's close, then well the call for a sudden death round. The objectives are a lot more clear cut than figure skating and the "subjective" ness of it isn't really there. It's not really "who's prettier" so much as who's better. (imo...would get into details..but that would require knowing more than i care to about figure skating.)

Someone who can drift can road race. Yes there are tools and fools, but that's true for every motorsport, regardless of popularity. Sure right now drifting is picking up and shit so you see a lot of ignorance from people who don't know anything and just like it because it's flashy. However, I don't worry about stupid people getting into drifting in miatas. Which is much similar to road racing too. You like beating up evos and "faster" cars on the track because of the ignorance twords the miata. Marty has gotten his share of "The RWD conversion must have been hard" or "When did you swap to rotary?" on one hand it's disappointing, on the other it's motivating to keep out there proving people wrong and kicking as in a gay little car.

Scott, I know you've been talking to Dan a lot he's been doing a lot in the area, and if I was better and could make it out to venues more I'd concider him a rival (still do I suppose..i just suck). Sorry about being late with the stim..I PROMISE I'll get it out this week!

yeah i hang out with dan all the time. meeting him for lunch tomorrow. i always wanna come out. i think there's something going on soon at summit that i was going to try to get off my ass and watch.
