YouTube - El Toro Dai academy Gold rx7 100mph + entry then someone was in my way
100+ mph 4h gear entry and almost hitting somebody that stalled out in the middle of the track. The flagger guy told me to go, but didnt see that the car before me that went stalled... scaryy

That was me!!!! holy shit scariest shit that has ever happen to me seeing flying towards me. i am so sorry about that. Lost all electrical power and was in the process of trying to roll the car off track when i heard u coming. we need to man a post at the sweeper for this very reason. glad every one made it home safe.

Hey everyone. I was out mostly posted by the skid pad towards the end of the day taking some pics. Here's a sneak peak (the rest are here: Dais Drift Academy 06202009 pictures by sheunderground - Photobucket).

Such an awesome event!

I think after the raffle, I heard Aug 1st.

Brian · 06-22-2009, 10:27 AM

Are there slower courses?

I don't want to drift in 4th gear.
Seems too scary.

turns101 · 06-22-2009, 01:40 PM

Wise ass...

So 100mph entry huh....

ScarredOne · 06-22-2009, 01:42 PM

It was nice to have such a short wait for the long course, medium length 2nd gear course took a while, and what was up with people understeering for 5 min.+ on the skidpad courses??? I rolled up to finish off tires/practice tips from the coaches, only to wait FOREVER for some :ghey:fools to finish doing about 30 passes each; with no concern for the long line of people waiting. If you're gonna do that, at least don't unda-unda the whole run

!

Hiro did a good job as usual with even more courses and drivers to keep tabs on, and a limited staff. The August 1 event should be interesting, when Ross unveils Dai's new sr20 Mango.

the sweeper is sooooo big there's plenty of room to pull it off. The SR powered cars were having fun on the sweeper. but the Brave KA's were still trying to put it down . My buddy didn't even bother with the switch backs in the begining of the high speed course . he just bombed the sweeper in fourth gear around 90+MPH to clear it! Shit was fun !!

dood, I'm scared to skip the begging and bomb it at 90 heh

for all you DOHC KA guys i was drifting the whole course in 2nd, and then doing the whole sweeper at around 75mph like mid 3rd gear, like without straightening out.

Ross Petty told me to try to skip the first corner, just to get into 3rd gear, and just try to take the whole course in 3rd. i cant wait till next time to try that.

o yea, here are some video and pics my dad took.

i think this is dkwasherexd

yay Jason!!

click on the pics to make them huge!!

Paul your car was my dad's favorite, WTT for SL500?? haha

me

me again!

*swayray* · 06-22-2009, 04:37 PM

awesome event! so much run time... this is the only place I can actually get my stock KA up to 90 MPH at the top of 4th gear on that sweeper...

btw thx for the pic rat240...

SlideKing92 · 06-22-2009, 08:31 PM

Does Yogi have a website or anywhere he posts normaly

foreverdark · 06-22-2009, 08:46 PM

Will there be another one next month?

turns101 · 06-22-2009, 09:04 PM

Where is there some 100mph entries?? I want to see some vid..

In my KA DOHC, I skipped the whole first section and my entry speed for sweeper was about 87mph. But I used the 949Racing race car(140hp, no powersteering) for the driver search, IMHO its impossible to link the whole course with the stock KA on 3rd gear manji.

I'd like to say Thanks again to 949Racing for all the support.

dkwasherexd · 06-23-2009, 12:09 AM

i was able to do 100+mph entry top of 4th gear, but no footy

shit was scary at first to clutch kick at that speed..but somehow my balls grew and I did it.. the one footy I have was my 1st time doing 100mph entry..is when I had to slow down and stop because Croan stalled out at the sweeper.. drifting at that speed feels like the car will flip.. damn i need more power... I want to up my boost, but i don have enough fuel .. I tried 8psi thaday and it was bogging my motor, so i urned it down to 6psi and itwas barely okay...

Time for bigger injectors and a standalone...

Cograts on the invite Jeff! Good job!

Flaco S14 · 06-23-2009, 01:43 AM

is the high speed course bumpy? or will stock suspension make it through there?
