hey man, welcome to the site!
hope you can make it out, and if so look out for us in our "drifting is not a crime" shirts. also, we can only get 4 press passes which are already occupied and we have a steady supply of photographers as it is, but we'd still love to see any shots you take.

I won't be able to make this after all guys. Someone turned left in front of me today and I totaled my truck. I actually knocked her Durango completely upside down. My airbag didn't even deploy! Everyone is ok, but I'm stuck looking for a new truck. At least it wasn't my fault. I'm the world's safest driver in the pickup. Good luck though Andy! With all those press passes there better be some vids posted Monday. Give me somethin to smile about.

I am really hoping to go to the event seeing as though I live half hour away. If I go, I would be glad to take pictures and stuff for you guy or help out with anything if you guys think you need help. Keep up the drifting, your team is cool as hell, and hopefully i catch you guys at the track, good luck.

Hello Ruggid, and WELCOME!!!
Glad you found us! You should definitely come out! It's going to be a great event for sure! You're too lucky that you're so close! We've got quite a trek to get up there, but it'll all be worth it, I'm sure.
If you make it out... keep an eye out for my black e46 325Ci! I'll be doing the best I can on an open diff... hahaha!
Anyway... welcome again, and I hope we link up at DriftShowoff!!!

Keep it countersteered...

Well... the clock is ticking...
Time is getting closer. I'm trying to get everything lined up and ready to go here. Picked up a $240 sticker run... so we'll be armed with sticky freebies at the event... we've got shirts... and our tent (which they want to charge $40 to set up... ???).
I tried to make it over to Drive Line Services today to begin the LSD build... but alas... Atlanta traffic would not allow such commodities. I'll have to swing by there tomorrow, and pick it up when we get back from MD. I also need to make it by Gran Turismo East, for some used tyres for my stock rims. I killed off all the others at the Miami event, so I'll need some fresh(er) tread to burn.
Tomorrow will go by much too fast. There's still a lot to get done!
Eeeeeee!

I have acouple of extra folding chairs, I can bring down with me if you guys need them.

P.S. Here is the post by Ken Miyoshi from DG's board:

Hello - Mainstream Staff (Ken Miyoshi) here.

Let me clarify the Groups - The Group 1 was intended for REGISTRATION PURPOSES only. Cause there are car show people that is attending this event, we needed to seperate between drifters and car show peeps.

Right when you register... our drift staff will seperate you for RUN GROUPS. We have 40 registered and we plan to run with 20 cars per groups. So that means we have GROUP 1 and GROUP 2 at the day of the event.

Awesome! Thanks for posting the schedule-- now I have more of an idea of what's going on. We've got 3 folding chairs, but you can always throw your extras under our ezup! I still can't believe they want to charge anyone using a canopy a $40 "permit" fee. That is such garbage! It will be too hot to go without it, though-- that's for sure.

man, this really sucks. I really weanted to head out with you guys tomorrow morning, but Syn is saying no. Our plane lands at 1:30pm and we just won't have the time to make it. Take some good pics and have fun guys!

jo · Post by jo » Thu Jul 22, 2004 1:07 pm

awwww man that sucks:( Wish you guys could come! Where are you flying in from anyhow?

CodyW · Post by **CodyW** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 1:14 pm

sucks you guys can't make it

.

i'm still excited though, anything is there anything else we need to get before we leave? also, anyone know the plans for leaving yet? i'll be in class from around 4:00-10:00 tonight but if anyone knows what's up give me a call

.

jo · Post by jo » Thu Jul 22, 2004 1:20 pm

We should try to leave by 10:00-11:00 because it's a nice 8-9 hour drive and we want to sleep tomorrow night before the event!

I'd say bring money for the hotel and food [oh god plz have lemonaid!!!] and some sunscreen and any personal stuffs.... I'm not sure what the durango has stereo-wise, but we'll prolly need to have some cds because i guarantee it won't have my spiffy aux in jack for the ipod;)

I bought a huge cooler to bring to the event so if you wanna stock up on drinks or snacks, I'd say do that:)

CodyW · Post by **CodyW** » Thu Jul 22, 2004 1:31 pm

alright, sounds good. i can bring my iTrip too if you'd like so we can rock some semi-good quality tunes

. do you happen to have a car charger for an iPod though? i haven't gotten one yet so we might be limited to 1 round of the battery, but oh well.

i'll try to grab some fantas if i get a chance too (might have to run out tomorrow morning since i've gotta do some homework real quick and then go to class for the rest of the night

).
