Well, I don't know exactly how they do it, but there are a few people who really mess up the side wall on the tires so they can't use them after the events. It is always safer to have a few tires there.

blu808 · 06-21-2004, 04:58 PM

It depends if you are just drifting, or really drifting, I would at least bring an extra set. I only went through a couple sets at the last event.

yay, for a 2 day event

knghtryde · 06-21-2004, 06:03 PM

Yeah but some people are saying that you really don't need an extra set cause you won't go through them.

blu808 · 06-21-2004, 06:27 PM

I agree but what if you hit the dirt and your tire de beads, that happened to that e30 at altamont the day before the event

david i only said that for ncda because i dont think you'd get enough track time to burn up a set but it's always good take be prepared like luke said

blu808 · 06-21-2004, 07:46 PM

It sucks towing your car home, just because of a flat tire.

Var · 06-21-2004, 07:51 PM

freal...i brought 9 extra rims/tires i felt stupid but o well

kazuo · 06-22-2004, 01:29 AM

Chris managed to smoke a set at the Thunderhill event, and that had more cars than the Altamont event.

He literally ran 'em down to the wires and he was poppin' sparks everywhere.. :P

So ya it can be done. If you're paranoid bring an extra set, just in case.

knghtryde · 06-22-2004, 11:27 AM

Dude, without naming names. I know of 3 different people already who have been able to strip a set of tires in 1 lap. Now that's serious driving.

blu808 · 06-22-2004, 04:41 PM

especially if you use cheap tires. The day before the altamont event todd, some other peeps and i were out there setting up the course. One lap of drifting the banking in my car and the tires tread just fell off.

knghtryde · 06-22-2004, 05:16 PM

You talking about the tires in your Garage?

blu808 · 06-22-2004, 06:13 PM

naa, all the dead tires are burried in the back yard.

knghtryde · 06-23-2004, 09:18 AM

LoLz..........

blu808 · 06-23-2004, 01:04 PM

So anyways, Back on topic.
WHO IS GOING TO FREEDOM DRIFT???
I will be there without my car. Just hangin out and working my corner.
Come on peoples spread the word. Lets make this happen.

knghtryde · 06-23-2004, 02:20 PM

Yeah lets get the NorCal people to represent up in this biatch....

JackDrift · 06-23-2004, 02:37 PM

I registered for the 3rd, I will be there ripping some shit up!!! My car is about ready to roll I am just going to flush my power steering fluid with some fresh Redline synthetic stuff, makes a big difference from the old ATF that most people are running. Plus how many people do you know that change their P/S fluid!

I am rolling there on a new set of rear tires as well as one new spare set which should be good as well as one of each suspension part, t/c rod,control arm, ruca, toe rod, and a few other parts.
At Buttonwillow I bent a right rear control arm and had to go on a trek to Louies Auto wrecking in bakersfield to find that thing,It took their guy over an hour to pull that arm!!!!

but I got it back on and was ripping again!

blu808 · 06-23-2004, 02:42 PM

jackdrift,. awsome, if we get more people out there like you with all those parts we could just build a car at the track. lol
hope to see you out there, and spread the word. ill be the skinny white guy out there with the ncda shirt on

Raziel · 06-23-2004, 03:41 PM

Ill be there for the 3rd as well look for the guy in the Black FD

. Last event there my tires were missing big chunks in them. I hope the track is fixed by then.

Drunk Bastard · 06-23-2004, 04:24 PM

I will be there both days. Driving on the 3rd and spectating on the 4th. Hey Blue808, I saw you at the last event. I must say you have some skills. I was the guy askin you about your roll cage/climate control/custom gauge pod. I have another question for you though. Does the cage hinder you from opening the glove box, or using the controls for the sunroof? Any feedback would be appreciated, becuase I want that cage, but I still need my glovebox and sunroof.

Thanks,
Joe

I will be the tall white guy ripping the gunmetal s13 hatchback with the hyperblack FNO1RC's and Koukie tail lights and red sparco seats with Crow 5pt. harnesses, I will also be taking a bunch of people for rides, I love it when the girls grab the roof and the inner door handle like a cat over water!!!!!!!!

hey.......are they going to be serving BUDWIESER at the track this time!!!!!

Andrew Bohan · 06-24-2004, 12:15 AM

i hope they have lots of DRIFTAHOLTM

blu808 · 06-24-2004, 12:04 PM

The cage fits way better than the auto power i had in my s13, anyways, it doesnt hinder vision, and still allows the gb to open, im not sure on the sun roof because i dont have one, hope this helps.

Yea, add another white boy to the list.

awesome, thats the response I was hoping for. Somebody who DOESNT have the cage told me that it hinders the Glove Box, but I wanted to hear it first hand from someone that actually has the cage. Thanks. I will be at the Freedom drift both days and driving on the 3rd. Do you think you could give me some pointers?

blu808 · 06-24-2004, 03:32 PM

Yea no problem, the cage doesnt allow you to open it all the way. but allmost all the way. I wont have my car out there most likely, so i would like to take a ride with you, ill just be a lowely instructor that day. lol

Yea, that'll be cool. I can always use more tips/advice. Btw, my name is Joe. I met you at the last NCDA event, just didnt catch your name.

blu808 · 06-24-2004, 05:24 PM

Joe. Yea i remember ya. anyways my name is luke.

Also Todd wanted me to let everyone know that there may or may not be concessions open for the event. So Bring a shit load of water, and food.

No BBQ will be allowed at the track.

Bring sun screen, and money to give me because im cool.

neevosh · 06-24-2004, 06:59 PM

I'll be there too. I'll be the white guy out there trying to drift.

blu808 · 06-24-2004, 07:26 PM

Awsome, More white boys for everyone to laugh at. Anyways, Should be a super fun event, we will have an unexpected course change as well, just to screw everyone and make them learn new lines.
ha ha ha ha ha evil laugh.

tew photy · 06-25-2004, 02:06 AM

the only day its possible for me to go is the 4th, but only as a spectator. you guys think the event will still be in full swing on the 4th, or is it gonna be a lot better the 3rd? cuz its a long drive from union city up there, making sure itll be a good show

. does anybody else from the east/south bay want to caravan up there the morning of the 4th?

knghtryde · 06-25-2004, 09:51 AM

tew photy, I'm down.
