I see you have spent no time in Hawaii in the past 4 years...
Lets just put it this way, there are "drifting taskforces" out at 3 of the major "spots". Unmarked cars, plain clothed cops, arrest you ON site weather you were watching or doing.
You guys just wait till the media comes out to your Drift Day or whatever event and talks all nice to you and talks about how they want to run a story on drifting, then uses the footage of that in a mix with footage of car crashes and street racing, oh, and they like to use catchy titles like "Drifting into Danger"
you will love it...good times had by all

Yep. the mainland shoudl have done like the 50th state. More development, growing, learning, etc... over here in cali you can get a huge hookup just how your car looks. Bah.
I think this is kinda funny... We have a "Pro cone dodging" series. Where are the drift tracks? Where is Slipstream orginizing competitions on tracks, not paved infields of Nascar short tracks.

hell, we have been doing it organized and on a track for 3 years now...and I STILL don't think anyone is ready for that kinda events. I'll be honest, I think our "best driver" could beat the mainlands "best driver", and I STILL don't think anyone around is good enough to make 10k for drifting. And your right, where are our drift tracks? Where are we supposed to hold said events? Oh, let me guess, big parking lots w/ lots of cones, right?
Ok, so they are gonna make a drift series... $10 says they don't come to Hawaii, mostly because there is no real money to be made here...
I would love for someone who runs the BM High events to come out and orgainze even a LITTLE track event here. I bet it would be 100000x different that how anyone runs it here.
As boro240 and I were just talking about, it seems they threw the SCCA name in there to fool people into thinking there is some kinda REAL deal going on here. Well guess what people... Chris (white drift Camaro) and another drifter guy were KICKED OUT of an SCCA event less than one year ago for "drifting"... let me say that again... LESS THAN ONE YEAR AGO! SCCA musta recently fallen victim to the "drifting = $$ bug"
but you know what, who really cares. what are we really doing besides just bitching about how "our sport" is getting way to over exposed? If they kill it, they kill it. Oh well. I say fk it. Drift like moneys no object and have fun like your doing this 10 years ago...
