First off, "I heard" means nothing. Even my closest friends stretch the truth or exaggerate when telling a story.

Second, when you stupid westerners realize that winning isn't the most important part of drifting, you won't have to deal with this. Drifting's roots came from people caring less about winning a race and caring more about entertaining a crowd.

Showing off is what drifting is about and if you don't let drifters show off one more time, you piss them off, especially when they just traveled half way around the world for you idiots. Why is that so hard for you to understand?

What was D1s official answer? if the J drivers were upset because they thought judging was unfair then the judges have to explain. If the judges are sticking to their decisions then the result is what it is. If you are paired up with Forrest and for some reason you dont want to run then you loose. I dont get it what is the problem?

"stupid westerners" dude you need to chill with the Japanese empire mentality, this *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* is in USA not in Japan so stop being a Japanese beggot (I dont care what race you are but calling people stupid westerners in USA is *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*ed up), if you want to exploit the westerners market you have to do what works here, if not stay home.

I wonder if the japanese drivers thought there was a technical infraction that would require a OMT.....

What?


This was a COMPETITION, not an exhibition.

Sorry dude, but you're not making any sense.

Nothing personal, I just have no idea what you're talking about.

Although I was not at the event I spoke with several trusted sources from drivers to fans who gave me the information in my story below. I think Kumakubo disappointed the drift community and the fans who had to spend a good $30 to come see him drift and not perform. I know speaking against the J drivers won't earn me much popularity but I think it sucks regardless of who is doing it. Stop throwing a hissy fit and go drift, you know, that thing your sponsors pay you to do.

CONSPIRACY!!!!!

My friend is at the event, he said that the japanese drivers are acting like babies. After Wang beat Tanaka, all the Japanese guys got pissed that there wasn't at least a OMT, and they refused to keep driving. Kumakubo was supposed to race against Wang, and refused to drive. So they gave Wang the win. Then Nomuken refused to drive against Wang in the final. After they finally drove, it went OMT, and Nomuken won, but it was all a bunch of crap. The fans were going crazy!

Also, Hakkonen was given 3rd place without a runoff for 3rd.

What a bunch of babies. DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAA!!!

D1 EXPLAIN YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
