[STIBungy]

[MKIII-Shoopra]

[STIBungy]

Fix that overheating problem first. :D

[S15SiLVia]

I am definately going!!!!!

[Kwando]

I'll prob go.

[Pang]

im going

[myshtern]

I'll go if its not too far

[aQuarius26]

Hrm, might have to go to that. HAI trip?

Great Idea, I think that someone should post a TOPIC in the next couple of weeks to set up an HAI trip for this event, besides its only about 1 hour away and its definately Going to be One of the best events ever to come to Co. If you have never been to a drift event beforeI highly reccomend it.

[Kwando]

Nice responsible caravan...

[albsjdm03]

I am going to this show I am pretty excited about it.

[celica man]

sounds entertaining....ill probably be there.

caravan = hell yeah

[MirageZ31]

I'll be there. You going to enter Adam?

[1998cc]

I'll definately be there. A caravan sounds like a good idea. How about we start the caravan in thw south metro area. Like at krispy kreme or something.

[S15SiLVia]

I'll be there. You going to enter Adam?
I don't know.. but the caravan sounds like a good idea

[STIBungy]

Hasnt it always been that way? :D

Nice responsible caravan...

[Kwando]

Hasnt it always been that way? :D


Um... YES!

[JustinM]

I'm going from the FT. Collins area if anyone wants to tag down to Denver and then meet and cruise to the springs.
Hopefully I'll have my DE swap done and the Silvia clip in place!

[S15SiLVia]

I wonder whats your guy's definition of responsible. :D :D :D

[taikahn]

I might be down to go... problem is that the PPIHC is the day before ... I bet I will be burnt out just from hiking around and spectating in the heat all day.

[Weston]

It would be funny to enter a FWD car in this... then watch everyone scratch their heads when it drifts without using the e-brake. :rofl:

[STIBungy]

I'm thinking of setting up a caravan starting in the north metro area and then head down to south Denver to pick up the rest of the crew. How's that sound?

[BlueFang08]

Any ideas on where we should meet up. Cause I am coming from the FTC.

[myshtern]

Think i could ride with you Hung?
never sat in an STI before

edit -

this is in 2 months!
my car will be driveable by then so nvm hung

I thought it was like at the end of this month or something

[damian9669]

damn.I didnt even know this was going down.Hell I live in the springs.Good thing I checked this section out.Or I might have missed this.It should be pretty bad ass.Im going to try and make it to the event as well.If you see a black rx7 without a wing and a blitz catback.Its me.Theres another black rx7 like mine but it has the jdm taillamps and a 5zigen catback.Where do you buy the tickets from anyways?

[Mario]

Almost $20 just to watch...? Argh. :(

You can purchase tickets at www.SHOWOFFCAFE.com

[aQuarius26]

Considering an average import event at Bandimere is $15.00
it's worth the extra $5 especially if you have never whitnessed a pro drifting event.

[Weston]

Driving sideways for no reason other than to show off is considered a profession now???

[sts2poc1]

i'll be doing the drift clinic, i think that the price is cheap, in cali its more then 100 to do any drifting stuff, but then again this is colorado and its slow to catch up to new things like these

[STIBungy]

The high altitude doesnt help either.

[sts2poc1]

the truth hurts huh? i'm just stating the facts that colorado is slow to catch up

[4BNGRBimmer]

Wow, I'm there- $100 is rough though, even when the most expensive auto-x is $55...

You guys know what kind of tech inspection is involved? The few drift events I've looked into required 4 sets of extra tires mounted on rims, other BS like that...

Gotta get my hachi roku up to par so it doesn't get outdriven by a BMW...!

[stu]

sts2poc1: Change your sig please, it's WAY too large.

Havent seen you lately at the autoX events ... still going to them?

[myshtern]

weston, check your pm please

[4BNGRBimmer]

Not really, I've gotten a little turned off by the huge number of people lately- not to mention I'm stuck in DSP because of a couple things on my car. I'm gonna try and run STS a couple times this year. (I hear my bud Mike Reiger is giving you guys a run, BTW... :D )

You should check out a BMWCCA event sometime- they're $55, but you get 8 runs usually. That's where I've been running instead of SCCA this year.

[damian9669]

so what do you think guys.Will they have tickets for the shows at the event or would it be adviseable to purchase tickets in advance and pick them up when we arrive? I dont wanna show up and have the damn place be sold out.That would be a total bummer.Especially since we dont exactly get very many events like this here.

[sts2poc1]

thats funny, i think there will be tickets at the gate. colorado stuff won't be selling out anytime soon

[Kwando]

is anyone participating in any of the events? or just spectating?

[damian9669]

ill be a spectator.If I had a little more time maybe I would be able to enter the car show part.But My ride needs some work as it is right now.Needs a body kit and rims.New paint.And I also need to have my seats reupholstered.

[sts2poc1]

i'll be participating, i just have to get some things from the junk yard and hopefully pass tech, then watch out cause i'm a drifter in training

[Storm Girl]

Hey guys...do you think that if the rain is still going, will the show still go on?

[STIBungy]

Drifting looks more fun when it's done in the rain. :D

[aQuarius26]

Hey guys...do you think that if the rain is still going, will the show still go on?

im gonna be getting in contact with the promoters about the rain issue , and ill post as soon as i get info.

[samssf]

[Th3Cleaner]

[STIBungy]

[Th3Cleaner]

[powder311]

And how much exactly is admission?

[myshtern]

$20 i think

[STIBungy]

$18.

$2 off with flyer. I have some flyers that I'll bring with me in case people dont have one or a certain someone named David who didnt bother to take his from BW3s.

[damian9669]

Whats wrong with wanting the car to look nice ? Especially if you want to win a car show.
As for dirt parking.Thats pretty weak man.Especially if it rains.

[Kwando]

it's prob going to rain tomorrow. does anyone know if it's still going on or if thye are going to postpone it?

[aQuarius26]

i have not recived any cancellation notices as of 8:00pm saturday nght, and their website dosen't show any signs of the event being cancelled. Also I beleve the show cars will be under the grand stands wich covers that part of the event, and i sure as hell would hope that rain wouldn't stop a drifting event. Im almost positive they are prepared for such weather and are going to go on as normal, weather it rains or not.

[STIBungy]

I highly doubt they'd cancel it until that afternoon if deemed necessary.

[myshtern]

do they cancel any events due to lightening there?

if they do cancel, will we be refunded?

[STIBungy]

I doubt they will give a refund.

[myshtern]

If they dont, we loot

[Kwando]

prob not going to drive down there anymore. can i hitch a ride with someone?

[STIBungy]

That means we not trading cars? :(

[Kwando]

We have plenty of time to trade. you going to the 4th of july party? we can swap then.

[STIBungy]

Hehe, you want to drive the civic? I have a catback to lug over there.

We have plenty of time to trade. you going to the 4th of july party? we can swap then.

[Kwando]

Sure, it's no STi, but i'm sure it's still fun to drive.

Did anyone gets any pics from today?

[aQuarius26]

PICS ARE POSTED IN COSR's GALLERY
well aside from the hard rain and wind for about an hour, definately had a great time and got to see drifting in the rain for the first time. Looked like all of the drift competitors had a great time and the pros were amazing. I especially liked the pontiac GTO drifting, sounded burly as hell and the driver was very good. The rear wheel drive integra was a sight to see drifting. Hope everyone who went had a great time.

[Kwando]

kyle how did you do in the show?

[aQuarius26]

kyle how did you do in the show?

Me and the team did pretty good actually. I got Top honers with Sport Compact Showoff, Javi(cougar) got 1st place Sport Compact), Nick(eclipse) got 1st place DSM, Aaron(3000gt) got 2nd Place DSM, Albert(Protege) got nothing because they didnt have a mazda or asian class, and a whole we got Best Team Representatation. We are supposed to get like $1000 in BOMEX parts for winning Team too.

[Storm Girl]

Congrats!!!

I'm confused...I looked around and didn't find you guys...and lost everyone due to the rain. What area was the show at?

[aQuarius26]

There were two areas for show cars, one was by the big FALKEN tire Trailer and the one we were in was over by the paddocks near the south side of the drift course.

[MirageZ31]

Yea it was a great event. We rolled down there with Enhanced Elements. Team Underground and Enhanced Elements did great at the car show. I wished that Ellen would of placed higher. I got pictures and a video of the event.

[STIBungy]

Damn, I didnt even know there was another area. Is that where some of you guys were at?

You know, I am starting to think the event organizers were stupid fucks

[aQuarius26]

Damn, I didnt even know there was another area. Is that where some of you guys were at?

yeah me and the whole team were over there, actually there were more show cars there then near the falken trailer. I'm quite surprised to hear that people missed the other show cars, if you were ever near the DJ all you had to do is look south and see that there were more cars. Maybe there should have been signs.

I missed them as well.Bummer.Got any pics of the other side?

[wild.irish]

don't worry, all nice cars were in the first show area next to the falken trailer. back there were all same cars you see at every import event in colorado

[RabidSTi]

Toby,

The red eclipse you offered to pull out was still stuck as I was leaving. However the two truck looked like he was about to pull him out. Bet he could have saved some money if he took your $20 offer.

Anybody have trouble getting out of the mud?

Stupid mud, got all over my floor mats.

[STIBungy]

After Tobi waited for me to make sure I could get out, I called the Alex twins and told them to get their cars out and tell everyone else in the group to do so as well.

[Storm Girl]

I got out with no problem...the trick is to keep going and don't stop, because if you do, you're only asking for trouble. Oh man, my car is ever so dirty!!!!

[STIBungy]

Yeah, and dont go heavy on the gas to get going. You'll just dig yourself in deeper.

[powder311]

One thing I thought was weird was that there was no announcer.. (was there??) It kinda let people b.s. and act like they knew what they were talking about though... um.. yeah.. and the trick is to keep moving... I seriously have mud in my engine bay..

[Storm Girl]

Yeah, and dont go heavy on the gas to get going. You'll just dig yourself in deeper.


Someone should've said that to the Z28 that wouldn't stop spinning. Idiot.

[damian9669]

I had to go heavy on the gas in order to move anywhere.At first I started out slow hoping to get some traction but at one point I thought I was stuck because the car started bogging down.So I kept giving it gas and I managed to get myself out.I was redlining the rest of the way in order to get out.But the rotary did alright.

[BluByU]

I had to have my co driver in the suby jacket and my street fighter push me out of a rut that I went through because Mr Tow truck decided it would be funny to move in front of my path. My car got FILTHY! But it's all better now.
