You guys should upload this to a soundcloud account, you'll be able to keep track of downloads, plays, etc and have the ability to stream it.
 
Awesome coverage. Discussion was very awesome. It would be cool to have special guests as well on future podcasts.
 
Anything you would like us to talk about or change? Any constructive criticism? Special guests?

Looked into it but there are better alternatives, especially for podcasting purposes. A popular option is Libsyn. Amazon S3 is also a good option for storage purposes. I'm still doing research so thank you for the suggestion.

I had a blast doing this. I'm glad everyone seems to have enjoyed it....and like stated before constructive criticism is welcomed. And if anyone has any input on the topics we discussed; if your views differ from ours or concur with ours post them up. It would be good to hear everyone else's viewpoints and maybe it will help with future topics.
 
I liked the skidpad topic where Ben stated that he tries to assist drivers how to drift. I personally had help from Ben and a few others and it definitely helped out in the long run although at the time I thought "Wtf is this guy talking about??".

And I forgot to mention this but was Tim saying "ass spitting"? LOL

Lol, danke sehr.

Tim said "ass betting".
 
I also have an opinion about the hp limit, I don't agree with it. You are turning it into NASCAR at that point. You are leveling the playing field, which in my eyes is boring. It's awesome to watch the vast difference in cars and setups, and watch the little guy beat the big dogs (J. Lowe vs. JTP in Evergreen).
 
Also, as for the tire size rule topic, there is no way Aasbo's car is 2200 lbs with a 265.
http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/04/the-101-exploring-formula-drift-tire-rules/

2100-2399lbs up to 235mm
2400-2699lbs up to 245mm
2700-2799lbs up to 255mm
2800-2899lbs up to 265mm
2900-2999lbs up to 275mm
3000-3099lbs up to 285mm
3100-3199lbs up to 295mm
3200-3299lbs up to 305mm

Just thought I would clarify that.

Your tire and weight chart are out dated and incorrect

Here is an updated one

Those sizes are only 5 mm wider in each weight class then what I posted, and none of those widths exist outside of custom racing slicks. lol.
