really? funny...cause last time i went to a drift event i was the youngest person there. everyone was atleast 20. ignorant response, automatically blaming "little kids" sorry dude i dont care if this is disrespecting but thats the biggest bull **** response ive heard yet.
the little kiddies who try to do the sport break their cars unless they're actually good at it, so that keeps the young'uns away.

We have left cones out before without a problem. It only takes one incident to loose a venue.
But thanks for the suggestion I am sure the people in charge at other venues are now pulling in their cones and doing twice the work because some stupid kids cost one group their site.
As said before I like drifting a very talented drifter, Taka Ano is also a multi national champ in Autocrossing. I feel I can learn a lot from it and it can help me improve in Autocrossing.
This suucks for me because instead of driving 1.5 hours to an SCCA event I have to drive 3 hours.

When its a 2 day event its a real PITA to have to pull all the cones in just to set them up again the next morning.

Excuse me for being pissed. I now have to drive 3 hours to do what I like to do because of someone elses actions.
You seem to look right past the part where I say I LIKE DRIFTING and pick out the STUPID KIDS part.
Do you think it was a bunch of 50 year old men in their Corvettes??
Your ignorant for defending the stupid ***** that just ruined a sanctioned event for a lot of people. We regularly get over 100 people at these events including lots of "kids" that respect motorsports.
I want to attend and start participating in Drift events and was going to look up Taka at the National Tour next month and find out where I can practice and where I can compete. I dont know why I just typed this you will probably ignore this too.
Are you just here looking for a fight?? YES? Then leave.
