Foam Blocks??

[gem-s13]

This is pretty much the response I had expected.

I was just wondering what other peoples views were on the subject.

So to sum up this thread " Foam is for seats and sofas! "

And the 2011 must have sticker is Going to be "Run the wall"

Boom!!!!!!

yes as i said to you earlyer!!!!


id say the saying will be "get some balls and a spare bumper!!!!!"

i think there should be more wall's. one of my best memory's of drifting is scrubbing the rose green wall, such a rush, and even when i messed up and binned it into it, it was still a rush. yeah i had to fix my car but it was a cheep adrenaline rush if you ask me. ive raced Mountain bikes for years and to get that rush you need to go big, but when shit goes wrong your in A&E. no roll cage on a bike... like the guys said, you know the risks going into it, you either bite the bullet or back out, simple.

i do think there should be more learner based tracks and events tho, with proper track time, not 3-4 laps. good seat time makes a good driver.

hahaha very well said lad

i just understand the heart break after stepping out from your car after a crash and thinking that this could end your season

I know this goes against my previous post, but that does sound a bit Gay alright

I suppose i may just start buying up rear bumpers and 1/4 panels and get practicing

make lepu and bernie proud and make your own quarter pannels with sheet metal, everyone should learn to weld

[lukeworx]

think the foam should be used for practice, beginners etc.
your going to have some offs when your learing its a fact so save the cars for the events

if you covered them in pvc banner & truck curtain material theyd be weather proof.

if i was (trying) to drift my betsie think the foam would give more confidence to go balls out into the corner known that when i mess up itd be all good
& save some expensive on the repairs

but for events no foam you need some carnage makes for good entertainment

just my input

at the end of the day,amature,non seed,pro, whatever class your in doesnt mean a thing,for instance there is drivers in the amature/non seed well capable of running just like the pros,and in some cases this year,better than them,as an example Jay rockett is amature champion,well able to ''run the wall'' just a good as some of the very best in the pro class and he was classed as an amature,

if you dont wanna rub the wall dont,run a safer line,and to be fair you can run a line that isnt far from the wall but isnt on the wall either and progress at your own level,thats the different in being top qualifier and putting in a decent qualification lap,and at the end of the day the pros didnt just wake up and go out and do it,it takes practise,,,


PD keep the walls,dont bother with foam or bales or whatever,remember lads its also goning to end up giveing us less driving time if so,between moving them and putting them back

Prodrift is one of the best championships in Europe and has the best standard overall of any championship that I have witnessed, simply because they keep pushing the boundaries and making there tracks super technical which includes running walls etc. The tracks have to be like this in my opinion for the judges to differentiate between all the drivers and I fully support them for doing what they do in limited space!

If your not comfortable running the wall stay away from prodrift and practice more until your comfortable with the car and become a better driver!!
