Age out shining talent

[s13-ste]

im getting a bit annoyed reading "that 13 year old".
Dont get me wrong Dwayne McKever was on fire all weekend and 100% impressed pretty much everyone there.

but is the fact he is only 13 and in 6th class in school the reason he is been talked about instead of is mass amounts of talent?
it was the same story with James Dean. "oh he is only 16 and able to do that".

it will be a real shame for him to be known for his age over his skilz

one thing for sure it aint good for no 13yr olds confidence to be in such a lime light that young...he;ll think he's king shit by 18!!! fair play to the young lad to put so much pressure being the following driver in tsuiso this weekned but if we all had rich daddys well we could be like that too....

He may be "that 13 year old", but as he's only into the drifting a matter of 6 months or so, he has the talent to back up the hype, which to me levels it all out..

[Dunnedriftin]

one thing im still stuck on, thought the minimum age for prodrift was 15...

did they change the rules this year?

Bit harsh there lad, considering the fact that the young fella went ones earned on his own accord to seek advice from 1 of the SWRC Division 1 drivers on how he can improve his driving, something which money cant buy...

its no doubt the young lad has talent,and the thing i admire most of him is what i said above,the fact he can apply pressure being the following driver in tsuiso,take takes serious skill but its a fact he wouldnt be there if he wasnt from wealthy background....

think you have a green eye there mate.
if you want to be able to put in the seat time work your ass off and find sponsership.

i do work my ass off,and pay for all my drifting habits,same as alot if not most people,what im trying to say is alot of us were probally well able to drive when in our early teens and if had wealthy backgrounds would love to be in the position he is now but couldnt....the question your asking is the hype bout his age or his talent ya?? in what im saying above the hype is his age....

good thread...

[Stevo]

Gud thread ste
Well i think the hype is because he's so fookin gud FOR his age... The lad can slide as good as any semi pro can and he hugged that wall both ways and not even bon got anywhere near as close to the wall
