TOUKE practice DRIFT! January 19, 2008- SATURDAY - Page 23 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

SUPERSTAR · 01-25-2008, 03:55 PM

The contest was really fun. It just needs to be organized. I saw people going like 5 or more times. I thought it was 1 judged run. If anything, it should be 3 runs max on the full course or the donut course and take the best judged run. I think people went home iffy because of this.

Agree, Thanks Karl for the input, Keep in mind this is our first attempt at this, but I will sit down with my staff and Touke's for restructure. It was based on first run and Judged by the crowd reaction. The other runs did not count and they just wanted seat time.
It will get better and so will the PRIZES.

well if you could do donuts ok, then move to the intermidiate gorup and do the JD course. No biggy.

vinhnumber · 01-24-2008, 09:47 PM

both of the touke's i've drove in, they were both great, lots of track time, and I had a fair amount of track time on the full course, even though I seem to run into problems everytime I go to the track.

fuck it, just upload them all. haha

*NemeGuero* · 01-25-2008, 03:01 PM

This is true.. I didn't drive hella miles for a skid pad. (I could do that up here)
I couldn't understand why people were driving on that thing all day.

Irukandji · 01-25-2008, 05:13 PM

Yeah the "competition" was more of a side show. Burn outs and donuts... ZZZZzzzzzz

I'm not complaining everyone was on the skid pad, MORE TIME FOR ME! har har

But yeah, the line for the skid pad was 8 cars long, while the line for balcony was 3 cars. Something isn't right

That back corner kills, always a lot of sand in some spots and its not really that wide. I was waiting for an open track for some fun time.

speed_racerx · 01-25-2008, 11:11 PM

too bad you left before we opened it up. i had a blast w/ the jd setup.

thanks for the sticker louis!!

Sliders562 · 01-26-2008, 11:15 AM

the contest i have nothing to do with that>>>

Touke next event:
less morning warm-up session, more JD layout
9:00am - 11:00am morning warm-up skidders & backyard sweepers
11:30am - 5:00pm afternoon JD or option sweeper layout

haha touke going on a lil vacation, im going to drift day this month stay tune for the next event

dope ass pictures dude! sorry for not filming this time... no money for a new camera... but expect the touke vs. 626 battle video...

if thats ok with you guys...

silsx13 · 01-26-2008, 12:58 PM

Whoa- I like how everyone is putting their own 2 cents in the discussion along with contributing good ideas and feedback which are all totally valid.

I think that instead of just having the JD course layout, why not also have the now "big" left hand sweeper open as well??? That would give drivers the option of doing either the JD course or just the sweeper itself, depending on how "saucy skilled" they feel. The left-hand sweeper might seem easy for some but i still see it as something that should be conquered totally at the balcony if you haven't done so already.

Besides that, I can see the merit in Jon's desire to have a grip session- I believe that before you learn how to drift, you should learn how to grip.

The left hand sweeper is always open. No one says that you HAVE to do the JD circle. Just do as you please I guess. Just don't be a track hog. =)

Yep agree with that Karl. Just wanted to bring up the idea of the left hand sweeper since it wasn't mentioned yet in the discussion of course layouts (if it was correct me, sorry!).

And about driftday Jon- What type of helmet do you have? I ask because DD now requires all helmets to be SA or Snell certified, no more motorcycle helmets (i.e. MSnell, etc.). Just looking ou for ya.

That reminds me, i have to buy a new helmet if i wanna do DDs!!! Darn.....

Sliders562 · 01-26-2008, 01:14 PM

i agree on the left hand sweeper and jd course yes indeed final.

Touke next event:
less morning warm-up session, more JD layout
9:00am - 11:00am morning warm-up skidders & backyard sweepers
11:30am - 5:00pm afternoon JD or option sweeper layout

i just thought grip/drift cuz i need the workout, but its kewl i'll go to other events to work out

haha im going to drift day WOO HOO! now to find a way to pass tech spec

EH???! Someone kicked your 240 Anthony??? That friggin' sucks! Let's go find the guy and kick his car and then kick it somemore!!! Then put sugar in his tank....

I myself wouldn't kick a car that I didn't particularly like- I'd just laugh and make jokes about it. Maybe this guy's jealous that he doesn't have a 240 or he wishes he'd own one but can't. Or it could be personal....

I believe in karma so he'll probably get his car damaged somehow someway, hehe. :hammer:

SoCal-s130 · 01-28-2008, 11:20 PM

I hit a hay bail. Twice!

Sliders562 · 01-28-2008, 11:53 PM

hunter8411 · 01-28-2008, 11:58 PM
