Mondello Friday 30th dec

First day there aswel tiught it was brilliant.. Takes time to get used to the track but getting there.. Defo go back :)

Listen. I went as a spectator.
Mondello is a perfect place but fuck me something needs to sharpen up.

Bkiely there, first time out, and I'm getting the impression he thought he was the one that thought he should be sorry for holding people up...

Now this lad, who goes to a 'drift practice day'.. and in fairness lad, you did no wrong. You might have thought you were spinning out a bit much or getting in peoples way, but thats bullshit. There were lads driving like they were fuckin Chuck Norris when they couldnt drive there finger up their hole.
They were doing more in terms of holding people up and just being a danger to themselves as well as the rest of you than any novice could.

(Incase anyone thinks i'm on about the two lads in the 86's being up in round peoples business into the first corner,... i'm not. They can drive, and they need the speed into the first corner, they know what to do and what not to do... unlike others.)


I am however on about the people believing that its a race day and the first one to the finish line gets to be king of the castle.

There is putting people under pressure, thats alright, but then there's just being a gobshite.
Don't know how some people were let drive a car, nevermind be on a racetrack with other people.

Does'nt matter what power you have if your only starting out been in front of PD/mondello regulars is daunting and you will make mistakes tweek, think everyone who has done mondello will agree that there should be a novice and pro group..

When it comes to drifting we're all novices! Not about seperating really, just need to keep an eye on people and stay back if you think you can't react fast enough.

There was one person that stood out. Everyone else was fine.
The heur just needs to chill the fuck out and quit being a lunatic behind the wheel.

the day is for practicing, novice or pro everybody needs it,one or two guys were not thinking of anyone else out there,on more than one occassion when a flag was out on pit straight the dude in the black s14 with blue visor went past us at the speed of light,this is not on,maybe your the best drifter in the world but a bit of common sense and heed in breifing may not scare the sh1t out of others,the 2 cars in front of me had to go of track at honda corner over you,learn to be patient behind the wheel,and the guy in the white twincam saloon,you ar exellent at what you do manji and all that ,but just check your mirrors every now and again as there was a tail back behind you for 5-6 laps.i aint looking for enemys just being honest,as for the new guy fair play first day out an it was well wet there,everyone spun there on friday,and go at the speed your comfortable at,great to see amys car run well fair play
