D1GP Anaheim...Opinions

[ericcastro]

Some things you people obviously don't know.

D1GP and HIN is owned by the same person.

All Models are hired by their companies they represent, except the D1 girls, and that red head with freckles was looking good.

The majority of ticket buyers for D1, FD, Adams track, are ricer fanboys that dont want to see real drifting.

We are lucky that D1 even is making a struggling effort to come back and totally didnt give up. (cause otherwise all we have is drag race start, bias judged, ugly car Formula D,..........or Nopi.

I think the drift box is Japanese invention right?
Namuru Ken didnt qualify because of the drift box score. Big meeting, Japanese are pissed, event goes further behind schedule. Ironic huh?

The drift box doing 75% of the judging is an attempt to make things an even playing feild. (no bias judging, no politics, everythings even). It also is there to help normal people start to get a grasp of the sport so that it can grow. Normal peeps dont understand it, kinda like your aunt watching skateboarding on xgames.

The HIN/DUB car show is there just to help fill the venue so that D1 can make some money, if not break even.

The Karts and Bikes and Gumball are there to keep things going instead of having an empty track the whole time. It was meant to keep people amused.
Im sure they could just have an empty track the whole time they are in drivers meetings and such.

Yes, Gumball's a bunchof douches, WTF you expect? I was actually waiting all day cause I was excited to see what douches they really are.
I wasn't let down.

D1 is made so people can come and qualify and give the Pro's a run for their money.

The course was a little smaller cause not all the local cars, and finland team, and SD guys, Texas crew, sanfransisco, hawia and all the other drivers that came out can afford cars with 720 HP and 285's in the rear like that Chaser.

That kid should have been charged with an offense for putting himself and drivers at risk when he jumped on the track. That was fucking stupid.

Alex Phiffer getting escorted out at the end was awsome.

BTW, anyone notice there were NO FD drivers there with the exception of one? You think the Pro Am guys and local pro's didnt want to run???
hhmmmm..........

Notce the Horseshoe was set up for really tight tandem, and it was. Cars were so close they looked like they were hitting, so good.
Tired of FD tandem, bumper to rear quarter, a few feet apart, and only for a second.
This tandem was straight Japanese style, Door to Door, under a foot apart for the whole corner, leading car trying to pinch out the chaser with the inside.
Best Pro tandem I have seen in the states in a long time.

Anyone see the 4 car tandem runs with the Japanese???? straight fucking MSC style!!! Sooooo good.

Line at will call is normal no matter what kind of event it is.




The parking fee was just over irwindales.

I can see why it sucked to not be allowed in the pits.

Some FD drivers in the mix would have helped.

Its Anaheim, the HIN crew needs those bail bonds shirts, lol.

In and outs were to probably avoid typical problems and intoxication it causes, but yes, sucks.

soda price was retarded.





I actually enjoyed it.
And I volenteered to work, so spent 14 hours there the last 2 days.
Im tired, exhausted, sore,
Didnt get to see everything.
But still was so glad D1 is back and trying to make it profitable so they can stay.
just saying
