hey jon - nice avatar. i think vlade may have a job for you, a junior position has opened up recently!!!
freddie - sounds more to me like you pissed on your own battery!!! i am happy to "destroy" my car, cos its awesome fun! and it gives me a good reason to bunk work!!! *sorry boss, unless you come pick me up, i cant make it into work today*
gremlin - we know you didnt mean it like that, we just a little pissed at the lack of industry recognition. it seems to be marketing hype to me, they need to make a big thing of drifting because it will attract a crowd to the dome on friday night, but as soon as the show is over, then so is the interest in the sport. and us knobdonkey's who are actually involved in REAL track drifting seem to get less and less recognition when this happens!
at everyone else - have a grand longest weekend YO!!!

Yes VC, it sounds like the Drifting club has a big challenge here. Like to advertise the drifting club more. Some approaches to magazines etc, etc like you would know.

i noticed last night the crowd at wesbank are getting familiar with the drifting schedule. they started walking over to watch the drifting before it was even announced i think!
quite cool to see!!!

It was a nice event. My brother & I lost the guys for awhile before meeting up again.
The drifting was cool & the show was alot better then last years. A little better variety, but not too many places to buy stuff.
Will try & stop by westbank tomorrow.
