    ^ a bit random, but thank you for your input...

    As far as the smack talking from our shop employee, I apologize that it has been an ongoing unprofessional attitude from many within the scene...including those from our shop. I will talk to each employee individually and try put things where they should be for future endeavors. I will agree 100% with Chuck and say I have talked crap many times, and found that it got nowhere. It put customers/friends in a situation of choosing if they want to be 'cool' with us or the other end of the bashing. That isn't fair to the 'other end' that isn't there to defend themselves, nor is it fair to those hanging out and getting caught up in the conversation. I might not agree with the way things/business is handled elsewhere from time to time, but I would bet many feel the same way about us, and me specifically. There has to be those that want to try avoid the drama, and I have recently became unlightened to the idea of just doing business, and leaving other BS to those directly involved. I will openly say that I would like a business relationship with Nick and SLS, and hope that as things change (for the better I hope), relationships can be built and everyone else on here can strive from it.

    Talk is cheap, don't forget that either. It isn't the guy that can talk a good game that counts, it is how they truely act that matters. I will do all I can to make this "Days Of Our Lives" drama stop.

            Question in realtionship to the members online at any given time posting seems to be down some what as well. Or it very well could be my imagination.

              K, so back to my topic:

              When do we get to have drift events?

              Cheaper than drag cars, but just as fun!

                    Dude, it ain't gotta be just S13's. 😉 There's guys in the SE that drift Miatas, 3-series Bimmers, MR-2s, just about anything RWD, it's been going on at Drift Fury.

                    I just wanna see it happen before I leave the area for good.:icon_salut:

                        Yeah, we should just try to make a site meet or something out of it. Everyone should just come out. Set up cones, slick up the parking lot to conserve tires and just go at it.

                        Or just do it illegally like every other area in the world that doesn't have organized events.

                        Not condoning/glorifying it, but that's how it ends up when the kids have nowhere to go practice.

                        Fact is, people in the area do it. Maybe not a whole lot of it, but it DOES happen more than you probably think. Not saying I have or have not, or do or don't.

                        I'd love to have a place to go practice, even if it's 2 hours away. I mean, there HAS to be a large enough parking lot that doesn't get used much/at all in the area that would suit for what we would need. It's something I'm going to want to look into over this winter, because in all honesty, it's just another way to draw more people into the scene, and also create the comraderie among drivers. And it lessens the chance of me getting an exhibition ticket. I've had enough close calls with that in the last year.

                            i wasnt infering the import scene. the drift scene kind off like auto-x and drage scene u dont have to have an import to participate. domestic, euro ect if it rwd it can drift, some need alittle help in HP or removing stability controls but it can happen.

                                Nick said it better than anyone couldve. Jason said it about me and he was right. I, Jiust like a lot of other people, Unintentionally,end up trying to play sides when i'm at each shop. Why? because theres a lot fo it already going on 1/2 the time i'm there. Jason, Nicely said, U have big kahoonas for doing that.

                                  Drifting is lame. I know that you will never get most of the domestic guys involved. For starters, drifting is very hard on tires. Also, most people have cars that are set up for drag or road race. I know I won't drift with my car.

                                          fwiw, I'd much rather watch drifting than drag racing.
