Notes:
We knew you couldn't get enough, so here's a second helping of the 2007 Southern Fried season! Don't be the one who is late to the table for this second installment of ATL's favorite practice days.
TANDEM!! TANDEM!! TANDEM!!
Additionally, don't forget about our advanced tandem run group. You know who you are... those guys that have been itching to get out there with Myself, Toni Shorts, MartyMartyMarty, Sammy, and the others. Bring your cage, bring your fire suit, and leave your ego at home!
Well, now's your chance. If you've got the background, and you fill out your petition, you might just get it!
http://dgtrials.com/forms/tandem_petition.doc
If you are interested in volunteering -- shagging cones, registration, tech, security -- please contact Marty (jon.martin@dgtrials.com) as he will be coordinating. We hope to see all of our faithful and dedicated volunteers out there as usual! Also, if you've volunteered in the past, please email Marty with your ideas of some fun things that DGTrials can do for you as a "thank you..."

Don't forget, Festive Garage (www.festivegarage.com) sells all the gear that you need to get ready!

See you out there!!!

[Jester]

i dont have a car i can practice in yet. right now it would fall apart. plus i know less than nothing

I doubt your car would fall appart... Just don't rev the crap out of it. This type of event would be the best to learn at because its a really safe course. Cones don't hurt your car... I'll probably be bringing spares of all sorts of s13 suspension parts to sell to anyone that breaks something as well.

tech is reall basic, any normal street car should have no problem passing. this IS where you go to learn. period.

drift events aka revlimiter trials are a great place to find out how many cones you can hit in less than 30 secounds....

also cones hurt..... http://members.cox.net/weibcompact/CIMG3606.JPG

[1800DialKyle]

I hit a cone a drift atl. It was awesome. Went like 20 feet in the air.

[jbrown706]

Granted i have $$$ left over after replacing my head gasket to buy tires, I'll be there.

[Jester]

well i blew my engine....maybe i can get a new one put in before the 16th

[hellfire]

You can. ;)

[Dominic49]

[Tire]

[CodyW]

there will be tandem for approved drivers, and you also need a full cage, nomex suit, and other safety equipment.

also, event is now full, thanks to everyone for signing up!

[v-empire]

awesome,

good luck in St. Louis.

if someone wants your autograph, sign sexy pants. if someone interviews you , tell them you are SEXY PANTS.

you will do great. tell marty to stop smoking so much. and pull his pants up.


wish i could have gone, i need to collect some trash cans and i know st. louis have tons of them...damn it!

[flip]

Crap. Still workin on gettin the day off. Guess I'll have to try to buy a spot off of someone thats not goin or something if I manage to get the day off...

[CodyW]

thanks for the words of advice dave, and i gave marty the message.

and flip, one of the guys on the driftmechaniks board has a spot up for grabs, you might be able to get his .his name is marlow<12, and you can see the thread here for more info: http://www.driftmechaniks.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4300

[v-empire]

omg....did you see the driver's list for nopi drift st louis which is tomorrow? they are all in for a suprise....haha, first 16 drivers are pretty much all pro's..haha

drift fury nopi qualifier, st. louis was today. which is pretty much practice day for tomorrow.

Sammy from tiger racing just won it.

tomorrow is race day. i hope Cody and Marty, champion A, Jodin, sammy and all the atl drivers do well.


good luck guys. win! i need free food when you come back..haha

[CodyW]

haha...we're on the road back now and it was a really good weekend.

i had my share of car problems during practice saturday which gave me some trouble (car felt low on power so we changed plugs, and in the process discovered one was cracked and it broke off into the cylinder during removal, although we finally managed to get it out). that cut me way short on practice runs and i didn't end up qualifying for top 16, although i did hear that i only missed it by a hair. i also discovered even more that i have to get coilovers if i wanna progress any more, and my current setup is just holding me back a ton (marty noticed me lift a tire in one turn which resulted in a quick spin that majorly hurt my qualifying runs).

aside from my crap, the rest of the atlanta crowd did good. marty, dennis, dan, andy, erin, and sammy all made top 16, and andy managed to get 3rd, and erin got 4th. everyone drove really well and did an awesome job representing for atlanta.

[v-empire]

good to hear you are on your way back. the car is still together so its good...lol. see ya soon.

Sweet, I'll jump on that as soon as I get someone to cover my shift. Since they changed our shifts to 12 hours its REALLY hard to get anyone to switch... Kinda sucks.

That sucks about the spark plug. Good thing you still got to compete... Go get coilovers now!!! :)

[Andy C]

Wow thats next weekend already. I am pretty sure I'll make it. Not compete though.
