damn well guys i just may not be able to be in this comp. this time. these damned finals are stopping from practicing cote. i will post again later if i will not be able to join, but if i dont join. haha silviadrifter- it all yours. :D

damn finals :irked: :banghead:
 
I don't know why everyone thinks I'm going to win? There are some high skill drifters involved in this comp, as always. However, if Buswave is out, it will greatly increase my chances. j/k, I hope you can get some time to practice.;)
 
silvia, don't go putting yourself down now, trying to show modesty ;)

Only a couple of more days away from the deadline! Please get those videos in!! My PM box is like a deserted town so there shouldn't be any excuse for not turning your entry in on time!

So far, I have Sheron's entry as well as battle_stage's. If I didn't say your name, please send me a PM with the URL of your entry. Thanks :)

Well, looks like I'm gonna lose. ;)

A little warning about my entry when I make it. It might have some special Reverse tricks. :D And maybe like a 80-100 mph drift.

Reverse tricks are considered losing control by the competition rules. You will lose points, I'm afraid. The exception was the first time it happened, where Cuda did a 360. Nobody really complained :) but we made a new rule that we wouldn't do it in the future. It sort of distracts from the point.

*BTW, if I can figure out a way to mount my new steering wheel, I plan on entering too. I'm thinking about using my computer to play because I have a coffee table in front of my TV... won't work too good for a wheel... if I get around to it, it will probably be in an Evo VI. This course was designed to punish drifting. AWD works quite nicely on this track, especially with yaw control. Either that or an FC or FD, for an increase in usable torque.
 
I see that Thio hasn't returned my PM yet, so I'll ask here.

I'd like to join, but am not sure of the class I should enter. I will be driving a Trueno, non-Shigeno version. Just making sure that I don't enter the wrong classification.

Just enter the class, you think, you belong in.;)
 
Well, is there any base behind the "Race" series, besides just a different name. Reason I ask, How can you Race and drift at the same time?
 
hm... I didn't get the PM toyomatt. Sorry :(

Anyways, in the Race Series, the only points that the judges will focus on will be the speed of the drifts, how smooth the drifts are and how much control you have. In other words, it's mostly about speed drifting :)

Exhibition is all about show: how much angle the car has, how smooth the drifts are, how much control, and how much smoke there is.

If you want to look at the scoring, it's on the first post underneath each series.

Sorry again :(
 
Seems as though it was a good idea to ask. :D

It's ok Thio, I just wanted to make sure you got the note before the series was over, :D.

I'd like to join the pro. exhibition with my regular Trueno, non-ss.
 
Looks like I'll be competing in this one after all. I ran my GT3 CD through one of those CD cleaner kits and it seems to work on all but a couple courses. I got Monaco working so I managed to whip up a competition video. Surprisingly, it ended up being in the 180SX. So consider this my entry, in exhibition pro.

P.S. - I updated my settings page, added two new cars, including the one I'm using for the competition. See signature.
 
Deadline is Sunday. I sent my vid to Thio already but never got a response. I'm not even sure if it's still hosted since 19xx took his site down. That's really gonna affect this competition. There's at least half a dozen GTPDC vids on there.
 
I'd like to annouce that i am dropping out of the competition due to serious persional reasons ...That means i wont be pwning anyone this time but maybe next time heh...I mean **SNIFF*:(

Anyone who wants to upload a video for this competition can e-mail their video to me at:
pergatory@pergatory.net
I'll send you the URL and also send it to the judges. The video will remain up for at least 3 months after the competition as well.

If Thio still has mine that I sent him, than I'll just enter it. I was going to make a new one, but I'll just stick with my first entry. I had them uploaded on 19xx's site, but I'm sure I can find someone else to host it. ;)
 
TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL DEADLINE.

If any of the participants do not send any videos, then their names will be taken off of the first post. Results will be updated in the first post.

Good luck drifting!

battle_stage: I have people's entries that they sent me through PM. I got yours ;)
 
I only got the URL of your video, but since 19xx took the files off of his FTP, I think it'll be best if you upload it to pergatory's FTP.

Same for everyone else who's video was on 19xx's FTP.

Do you still have my vid, or do you need me to repload it? If so I'll probably upload it to Pergs host, if that's ok.;)

It'll be best to upload it onto pergatory's host so that the other judges can download it also.

I'm on a 56k so it would take me a long time to upload videos.
