Pd round 1 afterthoughts

wasn there the wknd but have seen bad decisions at every event i go to and not jst in prodrift shit happens like the judges are only human and dont always get everything right as for favouriteism every drift series has it and there fuck all we can do or change to say that i personally think that drifting has got too big too quick and got way too expensive it would be cheaper now to go rallying than drift and think the wall riding thing is a joke in these times when times r so tough and money is tight most lads would be out for the year if they smacked there cars what was wrong with clipping points system like its motorsport there always a risk but telling lads to aim for a solid concrete wall is madness what wold be wrong with replacing the concrete with plastic more car friendly barriers
rant over

Some good points... ^^^^ But learn how to use full stops lad will ya :p :D

Obviously for insurance and safety to the public is the logic reason behind this, not much other options that i know of apart from the metal barrier either, both are not justifyable to a bang though

yeah but put a plastic 1 a few feet in front of the concrete wouldn break up cars half as much . and it would take the fear of wreckin ur car outta goin for the wall

Theres still downfalls to that though, your still goin to hit the wall, its not going to slow u down and u be draggin a plastic bollard with u!
Although if lads are aiming a few feet back from the wall for plastic ones, they're angles, speeds etc will be different and could help save cars going the extra feet giving time to correct.
Possibly an idea for amatuers in particular to help encourage and get the feel for their cars befone writing them off while learning...

But without a doubt spectators will be moaning that the cars are too far away from proper viewing :cool:

true true.. just keep it on topic lads! please no more bitchin about people...

these are all fair points about the judging, everyones free to express their opinions, we just wont tolerate outright abusing members...

Em, have they still got the cringe worthy stupid PD theme tune shite just out of interest? proper proper annoying 'put it in a ditch ditch ditch' or something along those lines :D

it would still reduce the chances of hitting the concrete and would be mad seein plastic bollards flyin lol. there be no spectators anyways if the cars are all wrecked as most lads are an a shoestring budget

Unfortunately for whichever car is out for the year if it's not fixable for wot ever reason, there'll always be more cars in the que behind to take his spot.

That wouldnt have anything to do with effecting spectators! They love karnage sure lol :rolleyes:

Barriers just test to see who actually has balls and consitancy, bbut not in a nice way:confused:
