Which judge is Rhys sucking?

[Zane98S14]

IDK but i was so pissed about that shit. Sherman CLEARLY kicked Millens ass. It was funny to see him lead and sherman chase though. Rhys probably won becuase he was able to walk away from Sherman a little, but thats becuase he basically drove the track dori-dori-grip style kinda defeating the purpose. I think Sherman and Forsberg would have been a killer final round. But i like the Irish dude in the SR20 86 too..

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

Forsberg won right? They never said, or I never heard...

That Sherman thing really got me going. Almost ruined the whole thing. I don't try to hate Rhys Millen, but I just keep finding reasons to. He just doesn't have the right attitude, just to name one thing.

You know who else is getting robbed? Not that I'm a huge fan, but Hubinette got a horrible deal with the car he's in this year. He's a talented drifter, I realize that after seeing Nick Hogan try to drive his old car. Kind of a shame he's in that big ugly heavy Charger. THat thing just won't get any angle, and if it did, he'd be off the track on both sides.

On the other hand, with one of the big guns out of the way, its nice to see some of the underdogs get a chance. I loved seeing some new faces give the old guys a run for their money.

Which judge is Pontiac sucking?

[Joshua]

That's why turning fun into profit never works.

In the meantime...Haruguchi and Josh ftw!

Hubinette got screwed with that charger...I'm not sure if he just hasn't had time to figure it out or what, but on that first corner comin down the hill he had 0 angle and looked like he was trail brakin the shit outta it to get it to do somethin. After the first corner he didn't look horrid but then the car broke. Nick hogan is a fag who's only there cuz daddy has $$, hahah VH1 took video of me for Hogan knows best and i was bashin the shit outta the kid. But he's there and i'm not so i'm just jealous. O and Taka Aono is the man, just wanna through that out there. Mad angle, one of the fastest entry speeds and one of the lowest horsepower cars, he's the man ( 86 love).

well that cars been around for a year now so its had time for development. Seems like the suspension is set very wierd. When its up on it air jacks the wheels still touch the ground. lots of play in there. I dont know why its like that.

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

I guess there really isn't anything else for dodge to use in drifting. I don't understand Dodge and Pontiac's interest in drifting anyway. Seems like a futile attempt to tap into a market that is ruled by Nissan. building an appropriate car would be a better starting point.

I like how tire sponsors can offer so much more freedom when it comes to what their drivers drive. imo, they are necessary in pro drifting, manufacturers, not so much.

[down_shift]

who knows maybe they are just trying to say "we not your dads pontiac/dodge"

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

how about we're not Hertz rent-a-car's dodge/pontiac?

Besides, my dad rocks a sw20 MR2!

Yah and it sucked to have to wear pants :(

[Joshua]

Flip, I swear I seen you at McDonalds...Or at least your car parked beside Tyler and Carinas...

As for this crap, Bill Sherman was screwed over. Macnamura was doing well too, I don't understand their obsession with Ryhs, yeah he can close distance but anyone can close distance when you have NO angle.

[flip]

Some awesome shots! Those are Brady's right?

[CodyW]

it's a combination of stuff that brady and myself took
