LOL I'm out drinking all weekend and come back to see this lmao!

This was a mess. The announcer was a d-bag, swore a bunch with families/young kids present, 12 yr olds smokin cigs all over and mad underage drinking,

LMAO this sounds like a good time

Killen1t did not mention that drivers that did not make the top 16 were walkin around drinking PBR in their nomex and the another smoken in his suit in VIP, great way to get sponsorship!

LOL, dude chill out... you must have never been to a real fun drift event before.

Just because you didn't win doesn't mean your prohibited from cracking a bottle of your own and smoking reds.

But does this mean THERE WAS FREE LIQUOR!???!!???!!! If so I'm effing pissed!!!! Why didnt they have this in the OC.

This is really really wierd of this behaivor coming from the team orange guys. Kinda knowing them personaly, I wouldnt belive them to be unprofessional like that. Kumo and Tanaka are really nice guys. But nomuken is known in the drift community for being a little prick. How many grassroots J dudes you see rocking uras... theres a reason not many like that guy.

But seriously, one positive thing I can say is at least D1 isnt fixing this crap for the japanese drivers advantage. Thats a major plus, it seriously looks like a even playing field for the more talented american guys.

Rob today I'm wearing the 2005 enjuku/kumho T shirt that you autographed in 2005!

Thats awesome! Check your private messages, give me a call if you get a chance. Hopefully I didn't blow you off the when I signed your shirt (lols!).


Chicago had its issues and the staff will continually work to make the events better. Besides the problems I hope that it was a good time for everyone and you got to see good show. To everyone I spoke to at Chicago it was great to catchup and get some input.

This was my first D1GP event. What a mess! The VIP section was more packed than anywhere else, there was no place to wash your hands after using the porta-johns which is disgusting with 10,000 people in attendance, the concessions were a joke, the people at Will Call for tickets were totally confused most of the time, security ended up letting anyone on the bleachers since they didn't fill them up which sucks for those who paid extra for those tickets, AM drivers vs Japans top drivers? WTF! This was a mess. The announcer was a d-bag, swore a bunch with families/young kids present, 12 yr olds smokin cigs all over and mad underage drinking, mad amount of delays, *Censored**Censored**Censored* motorcycle circus show, no RC drifting like the magazine ad's claimed, man I could go on for days.... Whats with the Org team throwing a fit? Great sportsmanship there guys! I lost some respect for those dudes refusing to drive after that. I was disappointed in this event for sure. I've been to little regional car shows that were more organized that this!

Snow drifter I just sent you a PM regarding the matter. I sincerely apologize.

typing and working is hard but if you cant read it talk to your reading teacher

[slideways2004]

this has to be the worst event I have ever been to! miss managed crap VIP spot crap cars in the dirty thirty come on stock 240's who let these cars in and not 1 FD driver! FD knows how lame D1 PRO US is know I do too. and one more time when the drivers clearly lost drift. I think J driver forgot how to drift a parking lot or D! did not remember that the two bumps in the entry is why FD swithed course to the other end in 2006. and no axess to the drivers. I cant belive drift king let them use his name. and don't thy to try talk to rob fleming to offer him a ride he is to busy.

can you run that through your english teacher so the rest of us can understand?
