BONDURANT CHEATED Formula Drift Team

[Slapshotnerd]

A handful of shops could help you with your EVO:

RMR - Huntington Beach
Road Race Engineering - Santa Fe Springs
Harman Motive - Torrance
High End Performance - Ventura
South Coast Mitsubishi - Costa Mesa
SP Engineering - Azusa
XS Engineering - Garden Grove

that's off the top of my head. I'm sure there's several others that are readily available.

www.evolutionm.net is one of the larger Evo boards, they can probably give you better advice.

Hi Ruth,

It's Dat. I'm so sorry to hear about this entire situation. I had no clue until you contacted me today. Let me know if you need anything. We're always here from you.

Honestly guys, Ruth is just a very kind person who was taken advantaged of. BOTTOM LINE! No need to bash on her. Help her find a driver and leave the comments out. I'm not here to bash on James either, I didn't know him very well. But, I can understand why Ruth would be upset. So give her some slack and find her a driver!

If anyone knows the name of someone in the los angeles area who can modify a mitsubishi evo, please let me know... I need a new clutch and more hp...
thank you. Ruth

Thank you Dat. I appreciate that. I am disillusioned that some professional drifters would condone James' behavior. Its like Im being punished for being kind and selfless.
I really dont feel welcome in this industry and I was just trying to protect other victims from being lied to and deceived. If anyone wants to buy the car and team, please let me know.
thank you

If drift avengers still has the car and the desire to sponsor someone. Maybe they should have some sort of tryout, rather than slandering someone all over these forums.

There are countless people that would love to get their foot in the door, including myself.

I can't take this thread seriously though.. I don't imagine anyone would would be so unprofessional as to stoop this low.

what are you referring to when you say anyone would be so unprofessional? all that was said on this forum is the truth. it is not slander, these are facts. Im selling the damn car and team.
I promise no one else is going to step up to sponser a young drifter with nothing but faith as a contract.... you make a good deed and good faith seem like a horrible thing. maybe we should give james a trophy just for being a great guy. dont you think I've earned the right to say the truth about my first experience with the drifting world.

Have you lost the plot. After all what you have said here and what he done you want to give him a partnership at a race shop. you must be soft in the head. think ye should be on gerry springer or something. would make for good T.V

his girlfriend he left behind in highschool wont talk to me because he ran away. I was offering him a job to try to get him to return so they could be together. ... i was doing it for her, not for him.....
he said he's going to remain in the mountains... not to return to los angeles....

HAAHAAHAAHAAHAA GOOD 1 !

thank you.. i was about to post the same thing. everyone here has the balls to show themselves and discuss drifting.
this person is either James or someone in Big Bear who is afraid to identify themselves to us.
obviously they are more concerned about James' feelings than the sanctity of this great sport.

i actually was planning on ending this whole thing yesterday, but james' father sent me some very vile and horrendous things about me and my son.
I sent James a peace offering, even offering him a partnership at a race shop I am building. His dad said some dispicable things and said to never talk to james again. i suggest since you are in the bonduranat camp, you tell him to keep his father out of this.

Not trying to make you feel bad, just looking out for you as well by telling you that negative comments in the industry are frowned upon and reflect upon your character. Just be the bigger person and forget about James. We all know and have our opinions of him, hashing it out like this probably won't help you heal from the damage he has caused you. Sorry if you feel this is a personal attack on you, because it's not. A lot of drama goes on in the industry, this isn't the first time something like this has happened- as I said before. I do know some of the issues with you and James as an outsider (heresay floats fast), thats why I feel that a lot of it is better unsaid- too many details and explanations involved.

I ALSO THINK THAT FOR THE MOST PART, DRIVERS AND PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH DRIFTING ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND DOWN TO EARTH. I ACTUALLY AM VERY SUPPORTIVE OF YOUNG DRIVERS GETTING A CHANCE. POSTING HERE ACTUALLY MIGHT HELP SOME DESERVING PEOPLE.

we have no definate decisions yet. Id like to sell the car and the team... if i have to deal with people like you trying to make me feel bad for helping james, then i dont belong in this industry. You have no idea about a lot of issues behind the scenes(unless this is james)...

If you aren't trying to violate him, why push for people to start talking about his personal life, especially those he chooses to date. Who cares who he prefers, whether its young girls, men, or older women?

I know you are trying to relate to someone with this ordeal, it happens all the time for sponsors and companies: expecting things from a driver that they can't deliver and then getting disappointed. Maybe you should reach out privately, research professional drift teams and email/call them. I'm sure most wouldn't publicly speak of it through Drifting.com because it is a private business matter... and if they did, some higher profile drivers would probably have a defamation law suit on their hands, because a lot of industry insiders do read this forum (especially when there is this much drama involved)- obviously, we all know James doesn't have a leg to stand on for that.

As for a driver search, I was under the impression that Forrest was your new driver? Why are people still trying? :-P
