The Homestead/FARA & The Drifitng Issue in South Florida

thats cuz most of the ppl in the stands haven't drifted a day in their lives, so they think its easy, the only experience they have is when they on on youtube and watch the D1 video with 100MPH entries, they think that if someones isn't drifting like DK they they suck.
atleast thats what ive seen at countyline

i like going up to those ppl and handing them the keys n telling them well show me how its done....They shut up real fast
 
I agree with alot of the positive post on this thread!

Ben give me full mod powers so I can clean up all the garbage on our forum to make it a bit more serious to the new people!

And another thing... It's hard to not have shit talking! We have so much negativity in south fla! My first dict event I went to was at the fairgrounds in 06 and all the shit talking I heard was coming from the microphone! Emil and abe were sitting with me that day and heard how upset I was at the announcer! Very un-professional. And even though I felt like I was in the twilight zone when I was at desoto back in dec I still didn't hear any shit talkin from anyone but the announcers in the booth! Even every spectator and driver that attended that night had nothing but positive things come out of their mouths! So when we had the mic over to someone we really need to make sure we know who and how that person or persons are gonna act!

lmao this gives me the evil idea of going to spectate where no one knows who you are and sitting in the stands and talking smack about FastntheFurious and how they are jokers out there... wait for a free car to go drive, and tear the course up with it.

would never actually do it, but man would it be funny to see them drop jaws at you killin it afterall.
 
The funnier part of that, is if they said, ok, lemme get them keys, you would backpedal your way out of letting them drove your car.

the funniest part was that emil actually handed the kid his keys and started to walk towards his car the kid gave emil his keys back and walked away...

Never gotten to that point i mean ive only done it once but i would probably back pedal out of it once i saw he was actually going to attempt it.

That's really dumb.
Just trying to get a laugh out of the situation thats all i mean put yourself in that scenario and its pretty funny... Or im just easily amused lol
 
I appreciate any help that can be done to help the situation
as well as the radio and tv thing will workon it.

I would like to meet with the pro-am drivers. Have a big meeting for all of us to throw around ideas.

If this sounds like a good idea for you guys let me know

My efforts will be shown
 

...
Compare SIDE-RUN to Team Orange.. Compare Chris Jackson and his helpers is not a TEAM.. SIDE-RUN is a group of guys that role together to event and slide all kinds of tracks. I follow them all the time.. It never fails to see how much dedication Bert and Finkelstein show every time they go to Homestead.

...



...are you serious... the #1 legit car thief's of South Florida compared "Team Orange"... oh wait, you mean how they both like to drive sideways. :rolleyes:

this has been done and i dont think it would help by having more news coverage. maybe more advertisements would help (think monster jam and more digital flyers in other forums)

why is the "new thing" to say all of a sudden, i have heard this same statement from so many different people. this is starting to get annoying.... yet i am waiting to see the spec actually grab them and drift/crash, how ever funny that will turn out to be.


ok I'ma come in since I personally have travelled more than maybe any other FL driver on my own...

...etc etc etc*droppin knowledge...

so in summary....
1/stop wasting money on shit that you dont have to have, then complain about no money.
2/make crowds happy from an event organizer pov. and stop conflicting the schedule so much.
3/tighten up the respect and professionalism in FL.
4/fix you DAMN CAR before the event gets here.
5/stop trying to be mr.2cool4skool

...etc etc etc*droppin knowledge...


GL ya'll, we need to fix this up.


yes... x2... end thread... but this comes in to my "yellow light theory"

The Yellow Light Theory = What should be done compared to what is done in reality...

"At a yellow light you are supposed to slow down for the red light when in reality you speed up to avoid the red light" -RichiePresto


Uneducated "drifter/dragger/racers/Fans" will always control the the success or demise of the sport(drag racing for example, and dont bother wasting a keystroke to compare the sports). The negative feedback from the fans comes from the negative feedback from the originating scene. I left after the shady aftermath just to comeback to see south Florida's BEST DRIVERS, in my opinion, end up in either the same or lower position from when i left. If the fan support was there(fans spreading the word of mouth of how great one was) then these drivers would be the ones who would be the ones who plug the spotlight onto SFL by doing what i think every world famous driver has done, dominate other drivers in others hometown(cali in example). This sport is turning into a revolving door because many people dont learn from our mistakes in history(http://www.complex.com/blogs/2008/10/21/historys-greatest-failed-sports-leagues/). if you were really serious about events.. look at the biggest events in every sport in WHEN it was in its time... and WHO made it happen... and HOW they did it.

Ed McMahon and Wrestling
Don King and Boxing
Irvin Feld and Ringling Bros & Monster Jam
Daijiro Inada and D1 & Option2
(your name here) and SFL Drifting


WHO is going to put there neck on the line and set the record straight for SFL? WHO is going to organize this and educate the fans? WHO is going to recognize the best driver to give him support to dominate world wide?











.... you are

Please do not start rumors.. I know the side run guys buy parts from me and they are a legit group.

YouTube- S. Florida Drifting in the News

We will see what happens... But I understand your point of view. Thank you
 
lol get better than nascar, you guys need to come down from mythical land of hope and wonder you guys live in.
 
Not trolling but with that statement are you saying that you rather watch Nascar than come out to an event if it's not D1 or that most people feel that all events here are amateurish skid pads?

Because if it's the first thing that I understood, then that explains why there's animosity between "veterans" and "noobs".
Why the hell am I going to cheer for you or admit you have any skill if you aren't willing to give me pointers and encourage me to get better?

I'm just saying.

i think he means as a general spectator point of view, they would rather see 40 cars touching at 200mph than a 1990 nissan going 30mph and spinning around.

its very hard to make spectators get the 'wow' factor until you are moving faster than they drive on the highway, sideways.
