FF3 & Keeping It Safe

[s0nny80y]

Probably off topic but since people are worried how law enforcement might react after F&F3, here's something I read off Wiki:

-Some mountain passes, like Mt. Haruna (Mt. Akina), have added large speed bumps to the road. These "drift bumps" are placed to prevent racing on the mountains. They are usually placed at the entrance and exit of corners, like the five sequential hairpins on Haruna.

I hate to be the party pooper but I dont think this will accomplish much. I think you guys will spend alot of time and effort to "make it safe" with little to no results. Now, if you're gonna milk it for some exposure, then by all means. But I really doubt this movie is going to introduce drifting to anyone or influence what decisions people make on the streets. The majority of the people that go will already know what drifting is. If they've had the "urge" they would have done it already. Regardless of what happens in the movie, what messages people put on the screen, or what kind of cars you have out front, I honestly dont think its going to affect anything. I dont see people going out and "drifting" just because of a movie. If someone is dumb and they're gonna make a dumb move, they're gonna do it anyway. You can't stop them.

If you guys want to keep drifting safe then all of us, as peers, as a community, need to keep it safe. It starts with you. Some movie has nothing to do with it. Especially a *Censored**Censored**Censored* movie like this.

kids will always be kids and stupid but as a commuinty we have to be smart and get the loacl news behind us. If we can show that drifters are stand up people and concearned about creating a safe environment then we can make sure that there is no backlash. There is only so much we can do but atleast we can take the high road in this situation and keep the future of grassroots alive.

Here's what you do. Drive to the theatre early and park as close to the entrance as you possibly can. Throw a big for sale sign on your car then when the movie gets out your car will be worth so much it's not even funny.

I do really like the promotional ideas. A good idea would be to round up a few of the nicer looking cars from the local events and park 'em at the theatre and use the attention they bring to promote a drift event the next day. I would predict big attendance.

Agreed, it's been all over the magazines & the cable networks for a couple of years, and on the 'net for at least 5. So I wonder how many more people will be exposed to it that haven't been already.

Im hoping to get more information out about legal events that happen up here in the NW...hopefully it will work...but thankfully most roads up here to "drift" or "touge" on are to hardcore for most people...ie str8 drops no guard rails around except str8 ways...makes no sense...I just cant wait to sell my 240 for like 50k and buy a 350z and have money to put towards a house LOLOL
