hey joey, i know you sent me a message about this event but anyways i dont think i can go, gotta save $$$ and such... if i knew earlier i might of went with you...
sorry man...

ok laters..

 

dang it, i wish i saw this 4 hrs ago.

 

Just came back from it, was pretty fun. Pretty damn cold though lol. I will post pics up tomorrow, even though they aren't good.

 

the event was kick ***, i didnt stay for snoop dog though. ken gushi understeered into a wall at the end, it was so sad. i didnt want alex(i think it was) to win driving the RSR s2000. all the guys out there were very skillful and just put on a bad *** show. could you beleive first place won a 100,000 dollar nismo tuned 350z?!

 

Ken Gushi = over-rated

 

Overated?!? Granted there is a bit of hype but keep in mind that he is still in freakin' high school for Christ sake and competes at the proffessional level in both Formula D and D1. What where you doing at that age?

He was on his game yesterday until some car trouble during the final 4 caused him to drive noticeably conservative the rest of the time. I wonder what happened. Not to take away from Alex Pfeifer though, he can certainly rock that S2000.

 

Actually at that age I was driving slalom courses in The Philippines (much like autocross here, but with 180 and 360 turns, which to those of you who think drift is 'new' would be the same as what you'd call a 'donut') in a 200hp race-spec rwd Lancer SS... before I had a drivers license here.

And you?

Granted he probably drives better than you and I combined on a good day, but he's never made the cut at D1 (where you have to earn a license, therefore IMO that's higher tier competition) - Ernie Fixmer beat him to that back in Team Rotora days. If you think about it all of the hype and popularity of Ken Gushi is because everyone pays attention to the fact that he's in high school, where most people who follow drifting and auto competition in general who are in high school do not possess the skills Ken has. Not that many people pay attention to the extra part, about how his dad would take him out to the desert when he was young to practice practice practice. Hell if your dad did that with you at that age, would that make you a "prodigy"? or just someone who started earlier than everyone else?

Bah, enough about that. Anyways, It's kind of odd that they put on an event on a weekday, which might have limited the crowd since for the most part it's a work/school day. Then again it was DD last weekend, so who knows.

Come out on Tuesdays in Walnut bro, we could have long debates about this one

 

ken gushi = "tiger woods" of drifting ????

 

LOL ever since Tiger Woods hooked up with that white chick he hasn't been winning anything like he used to

 

 

Ken Gushi isn't a high school guy anymore. He goes to PCC now. Anyways, yeah, he does have skill, but he's just like any other driver. he just had an early start.

 

I go to PCC and have never heard anything about it from anyone. Who told you Gushi goes there?
