D1GP in the rain?

LoL! Why... am I that bad? I'm fine until someone comes along and tries to be all BILLY BADASS... but we are way off topic here. No?

[Layla's Keeper]

You are a nuisance. And, for the record, eloquent speech is not one of my turn-ons. Naive large breasted blondes, on the other hand....

My track credentials speak for themselves; 1994 quarter midget track record holder at Killidare Speedway. 1999- test driver for Gary Griffs' 305 Sprint (dirt). 2001- test driver for Duffy Smith's 410 Sprint (dirt), test driver for Jeff Gibson's 305 Sprint (asphalt), test driver for Dion Parrish's supermodified (asphalt).

As for my knowledge, most of it comes straight off the track, and my father and I were both columnists for RPM Racing News out of Latrobe, Pennsylvania. So obviously I've been doing something right.

If you'd like to cruise your NA 300ZX out here to Nelson's Ledges or Mid-Ohio, I'll gladly race you. Or, if you'd like, let's strap you into a sprint or a supermod and see what happens. Somehow I don't think you really have the ability to deal with 800+ bhp, 1000+ lb ft of torque, and direct drive.

You throw around import rodder conventional thinking as if it's gospel. You preach about how bad domestic cars and American drivers are. You offer no sound proof to back up your claims and have even admitted there is no technical basis to your statements.

You say you were merely excited about the D1, well we all are. It's a great event and I'm hoping the best man and machine wins; whichever that might be. You, on the other hand, took it as a chance to bash both the Pontiac factory effort and its fans. Once more, proving your inability to think beyond conventions and general xenophobia about drifting. You're just as bad as the people who say "I'm getting out because it's getting too mainstream."

Mainstream means dollars. Pontiac means dollars. Dollars means higher payouts, which leads to higher car counts, which leads to higher attendance numbers, which leads to television coverage, which leads to more dollars....

When something goes mainstream, that means it's a success. If NASCAR never went mainstream, they'd still be a bunch of ol' Southern boys running around bullrings in North Carolina. If Indy had never gone mainstream, it'd just be a glorified sprint race. If F1 had never gone mainstream, Ferrari would be just another Italian car no one could pronounce, afford, or maintain.

And, by the way. You're four years older than me. Somehow I don't think you're exactly in the boat to call me "kid".

I'll be at the D1GP this coming weekend, rain or shine with my stepdad.

Hopefully it'll be a good turn out.

Soyo, please don't post 600 'blahs'. That's spamming. And it's not tolerated.

1ViaDrft, I've noticed you have a tendancy to bring threads off topic. That's not really a problem in general, but with you it turns into some sort of shouting match. Your attitude needs to improve if you wish to remain here.

Yes... I am warning you. Please keep the threads as close to topic as possible, If you've got beef with somebody. Whether it's a member of moderator. Take it to PM's.
