I'll come if I get in free and can take your car around the track in reverse at redline for a little while (like an hour).

My presence isn't cheap, bitches be payin by the hundreds just to have me fart by them.

[johngriff]

If you make it out, you can sit bitch w/me around the track a couple times ;)

[rewplayff]

i'm ready, but i wanted to know how much the competition was and how thats gonna work out first. might not have enough for both and will have to choose my battles

[TRUENOCOUPE]

We really don't know until we finalize everything with our sponsors and everyone that is working together for this...

Hoping below or around $150 but being BW, $150 is a piece of cake.

If anyone out there interested of working with one of the film crew to make a DVD out of this, let me know...

Basically we need people and camera to set them up on peoples car. We need bulletcam, suction tripod etc....

We want to make a 2 hour DVD out of this thing!!!!!

[rewplayff]

we have a suction camera mount and a couple cameras maybe to spare for this great occasion. can our monkey-girls media for this one and we'll share the footage?

[Farzam]

If you make it out, you can sit bitch w/me around the track a couple times ;)

But my birthday is July 20th...

Make it my present to let me slut your car around the track a lil.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

(that means ill have the black beast open to anyone that wants to drive it...just dont blow up the motor and its all good). Let me know!

[CleanS14]

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

registration is $150+6.19 processing fee.

so 156.19 for the saturday event! i will be driving this event. never been to bw but looks to be pretty fun! will register in 1 week!

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

it says open to 80 participants. still very interested, but sounds like a reeeeeeally long wait between runs.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

I guess new people and people that has never been to Buttonwillow doesn't know how this work.

Its a real race track where you run all day non-stop. There's going to be groups but you dont get on the track one by one. Its a group of cars and drifting the whole track.

No such thing is wait for BW except for change groups.

And for 150 bucks at BW is a piece of cake. The track is super awesome!

Search on Youtube, you'll see tons of my vids there.

Have you ran an event at buttonwollow with 80 people? How many people on the track at a time? how long? Im not sayin it wont work, just skeptical.

I'll be there, good luck everyone.

[johngriff]

It has been done, many times before.

ButtonWillow is huge. Even with all slots filled, it will be hard for the average driver to use ALL of his track time. There is so much, you will get tired. Bring WATER, GATORADE, STRIPPERS, any thing to keep you full of energy!

Yeah your right, hah just never been to buttonwillow with 79 other drivers, been used to 20 max..:love:

[Andrew Bohan]

on a three mile track, a 40-car run group would have an average of 396 feet between cars. that's almost 1-1/3 football fields.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Yes. I've run the track with 80+ people in the past with 4 groups. It isn't that big of a deal. I've seen the track before with 100+ people. hahahha

Most likely we're going to split saturday between East and West.

All 4 groups will be switching every 40 minutes...

Do the math...:aw:

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

will camping be allowed at the track? (read: big drunken bbq party)

[johngriff]

+1

Rated this thread 5 stas!

[TRUENOCOUPE]

will camping be allowed at the track? (read: big drunken bbq party)

I've actually had a meeting with them today and I forgot to ask about that!

I'll ask again but in the past, we've done overnight stayed in BW and shit was nuts!

[SpdElemts]

You're not driving?

WEAKSAUCE!

Hit up Jared the guy with the S2000, he's looking for a car.

Al.....OF course i am driving. i wouldn't miss this day for anything. Im just debating if i should drive my coupe or the car i just picked up. And Jay, Your not alone, i am also surprised that the motor is still running strong. Oh well time will only tell. You know how the saying goes..."drive it like you stole it"

[rewplayff]

its official, i'm signed up and going. now i just need to not break my car by then.

[DUBCITY]

4 groups at 40 min each is kinda a wait. means two hours between your first run and second run. I think 3 groups would be ok.

[CleanS14]

4 groups at 40 min each is kinda a wait. means two hours between your first run and second run. I think 3 groups would be ok.

You obviously haven't run BWillow... hot lap drifting with your whole group on track... this isn't some parking lot event with single car runs :2f2f:

PLENTY OF RUNTIME GUARANTEED!!!

You'll probably run out of tires before you can complain about not having enough seat time!

[pr0ject TRUENO]

Trust me, that's plenty of time at BW. You'll run out of tires before the end of the day.

Ive done plenty of full track/hot lap drifting.

its the same way we run HTM at willow springs.

Im just saying, waiting 2 hours before running again can get boring.

With 4 run groups, i would guess 3 outtings per group throughout the day. (3 hrs to go through all 4 groups if everything goes super smooth, which it never does)

still plently of time, and most will run out of tires before the end of the day.

[CleanS14]

Yah I guess it could get boring... but shit there will be tons of time and cool peeps around to pass the time... I get pretty exhausted from driving for that long of a period of time... I guess I gotta get back in shape!

[Andrew Bohan]

mandatory breaks give you a chance to fix stuff, change stuff, swap stuff, eat stuff, take pictures of stuff, and talk to stuff (or people) without wasting track time, since you can't drive during that time anyway.

[DUBCITY]

yeah breaks are great. Not saying we should be running for the whole day.

but 2 hrs is a long time. and when you break something on your car or blow up your tires in the first 10 minutes of your run group, that means you only have 2 more times out.

im only speaking from experience.

charlie usually allows 3 groups max at HTM and we run for 40 min each.
that means we wait 1-1.5 hrs in between groups, this is more than enough time to fix anything that is fixable at the track, and still seems like forever sometimes.

I know this is the first time doing this type of event at BW, just trying to help out.

[johngriff]

This isnt the first time out at BW.

IT is HOT out there, you will appreciate the down time.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

This is not the first time. I've done 4 groups in Buttonwillow with my Private-Events, not just once but plenty of times. By the time lunch time people wants to go home since they run out of tires.

And comparing BW to HTM is like... I don't even know. BW is just a fucking awesome track. Nothing against that track but when I drove it with SV, shit was like ok... that was it?

Are you doing the math right?

If we have 4 groups divided in 2 tracks, east and west. Two groups switching every 40 minutes...

Do the math again. :)

People are going to wish that we have a 2 hour downtime when they are out there.

[Dousan_PG]

yeah serious
HTM vs BW

oh its too hard to decide which is better
both are definately bad ass

but east, takes the cake, imo.
HTM for elevation changes but overal...i gotta go w/ east loop at BW

ill be there!

by bad.

i thought it was one track combining both?

but if its 2 tracks thats a different story, ill be there for sure.

wasnt comparing the 2 tracks, only comparing the event type, hot lap style, not wait in line for your turn style.

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Well, we still have a lot to finalize. We might change it to 60 drivers once we get everything going for Sunday.

It's just not my decision, its between Drift Association, Drift Buffet, Just Drift and DriftxBattle.

[YUNG DRIF]

When u sign up for saturday does that put u in the event on sunday.....

will camping be allowed at the track? (read: big drunken bbq party)

Alright. I just ask BW, basically they would let us but I would have to be in charge if shit happens...

So! My solution is to hire a security guard for the night to keep shit in place. We can still BBQ/Drink but just to make sure no cars gets stolen and crap like that.

SO LET ME GET SOME VOTE OF WHO WANTS TO CAMP OUT!

[blu808]

[SpdElemts]

Hey Al, what is this thing i am hearing about needing a roll cage for this event? Well if this is true...ANYONE out there willing to lend me a s13 roll cage?

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Hey Al, what is this thing i am hearing about needing a roll cage for this event? Well if this is true...ANYONE out there willing to lend me a s13 roll cage?

You need a roll bar with a sidebar. This is for tandem rounds only, if you are confident that you will go on to top 8 for tandem rounds then I suggest you get a roll bar/roll cage with a side bar.

[SpdElemts]

i see, I guess im good then because i doubt ill make it into the tandem rounds. Alright....ill be sure to sign up then.

[Flybert]

Please set up a gangster initiation cone 2 miles before the offramp to separate the men from the boys. It'll give people a good perspective about what it takes to be a true BW gangsta.

Time to let your balls drop and do BW like it's supposed to.

So damn cool that it's a pro-am event because this one will have some good competition.

Not only will it be a ProAm event this is a Nationals qualifier so no need to participate in JD/DA(whoever has a west coast series) to get to Nationals. You win/show/place... to Nationals you go... correct Al?

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Sunday PROAM - KING OF THE WEST Registration is open NOW!


REGISTER HERE FOR SUNDAY PRO-AM | KING OF THE WESTCOAST! (http://www.myautoevents.com/pls/mae/frmEventDetail.Show?psevent_id=7660&psrnd=.13467527009218914446015687031206654346)

[TRUENOCOUPE]

you are very fast when registering but slow in drifting. :hsdance:

[mobilesuit818]

Everyone should be coming out of the works for this event.

I wil be registering shortly for both days.

No tandem for me though.

Could you put me in the newbie group.?

Drifters with big tires and big turbos scare me...

[cfrost]

you are very fast when registering but slow in drifting. :hsdance:

I'm going to slowly drift into your ruckus

[drift-it]

i think thats what proam means, for example last year all the west coast pro ams were nationals qualifiers. pro am means professional/amatuer, but i think if you called it a pro am and didnt have nationals qualifiers in conjunction with the comp it would mean it in a different sense. so saying its a pro am and you get to go to nationals if you place is a tautology basically.

[santacruisin]

Is there somewhere I can see the format/schedule of the competition day? I want to see if it is worth signing up to get more seat time. If its mostly just a comp and waiting around day then fug it.

[blu808]

Registered for sunday as well.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

Any word on 360vm covering this?

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Any word on 360vm covering this?

we nede manpower and cameras. :(

If we want to make a DVD, we would need at least 15 camera's there but yes they are covering the event but the DVD is really something we want to do.

Also, does anyone having trouble accessing the driftbattle's website?

Some people say it doesn't work.

[cfrost]

site works fine for me :stupid:

[worangejuice]

I need a DD. I'll make it out there though...fuck it

i think thats what proam means, for example last year all the west coast pro ams were nationals qualifiers. pro am means professional/amatuer, but i think if you called it a pro am and didnt have nationals qualifiers in conjunction with the comp it would mean it in a different sense. so saying its a pro am and you get to go to nationals if you place is a tautology basically.

Okay sure whatever... I really wasn't asking Al I was making a statement... just added "correct Al" cuz he always has something to say...

Just to be clear if you read the R&R for FDProAM...
+ Each regional organization will host their own competition series ranging from 3-6 events.
+ The top drivers from each region will be eligible to compete at the Pro-Am Drifting Championship Event held on November 10-12, 2007 at Laughlin, NV.

At this event you just have to win/show/place (maybe only the winner not sure) and you go straight to Nationals... no need to participate in the competition series events as mentioned above.

Not only will it be a ProAm event this is a Nationals qualifier so no need to participate in JD/DA(whoever has a west coast series) to get to Nationals. You win/show/place... to Nationals you go... correct Al?


the nationals has a ladder system.. so i don't know why you're saying the winner will get to the nationals by doing one event. they might get an FD license, that's up to FD. but for nationals, you will need to earn your invitation. i don't see how an invitation to nationals will be given in one event, where everyone else goes thru the series.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

we nede manpower and cameras. :(

If we want to make a DVD, we would need at least 15 camera's there but yes they are covering the event but the DVD is really something we want to do.

Also, does anyone having trouble accessing the driftbattle's website?

Some people say it doesn't work.

And...? Lets do this I have a hard time believeing that all the filmers and stuff in CA could agree to make this happen.
and 15 cameras for a DVD? come on its two days solid of footage?
maybe like 5

i think 30 cameras is more like it

3 at each corners and a few walking around the pits

gotta catch anything that might happen

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

oh jeez, good luck with that then.

We've already talk about this over the phone couple of days ago...
You know exactly what's happening and it seems like you are acting like its a surprise...

There's already a few with DD event that the winner will go straight to National. Since Dshowoff was canceled at AMP, it only make sense to make the socal vs norcal as a PROAM event, it was going to happen anyways...

It's only fair to have it anyways at a dopest track in california, middle of socal and norcal. It also gives tons of drivers a chance and an opportunity that can't make it every single event that a proam series are doing. Why not give a chance to other drivers from other organization such as DxB and DB since we/they are not part of the PROAM series...

Lets give an opportunity to everyone...

After all we're all about drivers right?

Seeing the same shit for 2 hours isn't exactly what I have on mine...

5 cameras for 2 hours DVD and 2 days event?

Lets get real, that won't be enough.

Doesn't matter what you know or don't know... it's done and you decided not to participate. Don't get your panties in a bunch man... we're doing this for everyone to just have fun and so that there is a replacement op/event/comp for Driftshowoff that was cancelled where the winner was supposed to get the invite to Nationals just like Al said. We were approached... not like we were out there looking.

The winner will earn their invitation by winning this comp... simple as that, if you don't want to support the event that's fine... then we'll just have it as planned with the people/orgs that are supporting DxB, DB and DA.

It would be cool to have your org reppin' but no big deal if you don't want to.

[CleanS14]

[sonnysmr2]

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

never been to bw. are there food stands there? also can we bbq at the track?

[moparwagonz]

There's a snack bar there, but I don't think it's open for every event. About 10 minutes North on the 5 there's a ton of fast food and that kind of stuff though. As for BBQ's im pretty sure they are allowed.

[Flybert]

I'm gonna try to bring an EZ UP and an ice chest full of food and drinks. Are people camping out at the track or are you guys staying at the motels in the area?

[deadpirate]

im going...gunna film again...are we allowed to set up camp at the event???

[blu808]

SDP will be camping out.

Food, fire, drinks, music.

[Flybert]

So you guys got approval to camp in the pits or are you gonna go outside the gate and camp on the road? If your camping in the pits, what time are they closing the gates because I'll most likely be coming saturday night some time.

I used to drive out early the day of but I'm over that shit nowadays.

[yaba94070]

see ya guys there the WWS camera crew should be out there taking pics for an event eclusive so hope you all can make it. I dn;t know if my cars gonna be done by then but we'll have to see

[markyboi]

[Flybert]

Good stuff, I'll probably be rolling in around around 9pm or 10pm on saturday night. Wanna wait until it cools off before I leave LA.

[MomentumGT]

Might cruise up Sunday just to check it out. Camp outs at BW can get real fun, NASA guys always bring out the margatita's so hopefully the drift scene will bring some shenanigans!

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

Serious man. It is going to be scorching hot out there. Like 80 degrees at 9AM hot. I'm trying to figure out if I can get an oil cooler setup done before then. I'm going to bleed the crap out of my coolant before I head out.

[sr20dets13]

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Now you should sign up and go!

We're still low on regs on both days so register now and tell your friends!

This is going to be one of the sickest events this summer!

[TRUENOCOUPE]

JUST FYI!

Competition will be on the EASTLOOP but we will open WESTLOOP for the competitors to practice so you'll have PLENTY of track time on Sunday also even if you don't qualify :)

[CleanS14]

Tons of track time guys... don't forget to tell everyone to register for these days... it's going to be fun!!!

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Two more weeks and there's still lots of room.

[CleanS14]

What's wrong nobody likes Buttonwillow... should fill up soon since DBuffet Rd4 is done... well I hope so LOL.

This is going to be crazy fun... plus mad cash prizes!!!

[cfrost]

i got a buddy coming in a STOCK RX-8! anybody who hasn't signed up has no excuse, this event is going to be the event of the year!

[MikeDeuce]

Really surprised that both days aren't full already. BW (especially the whole track) is a rare treat lately.

Maybe there's a car show scheduled that weekend :fruit:

[TRUENOCOUPE]

There is not enough regs for both days so we have to cancel one but BW has to make sure there's a replacement.

[hitman]

so can we still sign up or should we wait? what day should we sign up for? i take it youll just move it to the other day if its not the correct day? thanks

[blu808]

yea just register for what you would like too do. fd pro am, or practice. if they cancel one day then both events will be on the same day. so yea. if you want to compete then reg for pro am.

LUKE

[Hillkill]

[TRUENOCOUPE]

Thank you mister Colin and why everyone is so upset about not having competition anyways?

People that should be upset should be the only 17 people that registered for Sunday.

But alas, Saturday is still going to be AWESOME!

Ill make some shirt that says "I attended BW and all I got was this fucking lousy shirt!"
