Readers Rides>>getting Colorado Excited

Slava hails from the great state of Colorado and comes to us with a simple request – to help him fire up Colorado's drifting community.

In his words –

"So the drift scene here in Colorado is starting to die off. Me and a
few others are trying to keep people excited about this s___ again so
we can all have more than two events a year. A lot of people are
quiting for whatever reason and less drivers just means that we cant
hold as many events because of lack of moneys. Posting some of CO's hard hitters might help
get people excited about drifting in Colorado again just from seeing us on Speedhunters"

Here are some of the cars he's talking about -

Slava's own FC RX7.

Alex S14.

CJ's FC.

Travis' FC drop top.

No info about the cars, but the pictures are more than enough to send the message. So, are you CO boys excited yet?

I know I am.

@InZanity: that last bit made me laugh! "until then its fwd+e brake+snow=fun"

8

9

Eh? I never knew Colorado HAD a drift scene.

I've been living in the CO for 8 years.

Where the heck have I been? Jeez!

The last Drift session of any sort i went to

was NOPI Drift but even that was so-so due to the

layout of the course where it seemed like they had difficulty

with the course itself. Car Shows? Mediocre.

Maybe if Speedhunters or any Mainstream

Car Shows stopped by to liven the place up

a bit it would kick start things more? (say YES :D!!!)

Hopefully something good happens.



Hey did that 240 used to be white? I might've known the

dude that had it before he sold it.

Nice FC too! Props son! PROPSSSS!



10

CO cars are dope. Hope the season is good for you guys. You can always come to the midwest =)

This page brings back great memories, when times were good and I wasn't sleeping in the gutter. Ah, memories.



Oh and also, splmode.org/HotMustard is where CO events have originated for years, definitely worth checking out if anyone wants to get in on some CO events.



USS represent.

35

They are Work XD9 and you're in luck as they are available in 4 lug.

36

I'm a Colorado Springs, CO native living in WA state.



Running events takes a lot of effort and dedication. Don't give up and keep on trucking. Get creative and figure out how to network people to rebuild a stronger group of core workers.



If you need help with resources to run events SCCA has a drift program that has the lowest cost insurance around ($10 to $15 per driver paid based on actual attendance after the event).



Check http://nwr-scca.org/drifting/ for details and use the contact info there for more information if interested.

37

Rad!

I'll be sure to peep that site and see what ya'lls about.

I would like to volunteer to pick up tire pieces too ):D!

IT'S ON!

Like Donkey Kong!

38

Thanks for the compliments guys! Speedhunters will have to do a new feature after my car gets paint and i powdercoat the regamasters!

Travis is single-handedly responsible for killing the Colorado scene. When he sold the convertible, it was the end of an era.

49

And we all kick him in the nuts daily to this day for doing so.

50

Thanks Alex, love your ride bro!!

What are dropped on?

51

Lots of beautiful machines. Love the convertible FC and Alex's 240.

52

Colorado had a Drift Scene?

Since when? All i see are domestics and theyre looking...ehhhhh >_<

I did see a RED S14 with Gold Skyline wheels tho. Tiiiiiight!

But no scene.

Yo where do you guys hang out anyway? I would like to check out your rides.

54

Tight.

Tight.

55

First event is Sunday, April 11th at PPIR. Be There.

http://splmode.org/HotMustard

56

The reason the scene died is because no one wants to drive 70+ miles just to go to PPIR for a few hours or pay over 100$. It used to be cool before NASA got involved and this fence crap and paying $15 to get into the "pits" sucks. When there were no fences, up in Greeley in the rodeo parking lot was where it was at. Don't get me wrong PPIR FTW, but seriously it's bs with all the money involved and regulations now.

Everyone is too busy tuning out honda's with 50 foot rear wings still in CO, that's the problem. And about evryone and their mother bought every 240 up except for the ghey automatics and smashed them into cement barriers or turned their engines into melted soup by pretending to drift. CO's drift scene was never big to begin with. Maybe 40-50 cars ever showed up for a drift event(that actually participated and that's at the most)(more often like 20-30). People just got over it because drifting was just another fad here. I'm guessing it will move to time attack/lap battles based on what the mags are doing. I wished it had gone to Touge instead lol far more interesting and Riskey! That's why we have mountain passes guys! Unless you don;t want to fall 14,000 feet to an untimely demise because your e-brake got to fried from trying to be the next Tsuchiya........ I say tricycle drift down a mountain pass FTW !!!!

57

Word up!

If anyone wants to Togue a Moutain Pass besides Pikes Peak,

try out the Winter Park pass.

I'm not promoting wreckless driving or saying it's a good idea to

but seeing it in person and driving it will make you think and give you

an idea what i'm talking about.

Steep Grades and 30deg curves every mile ot two?

SHAZAAMMMMM!

Don't forget the Tofu :P

This post is not about bitching or telling people u like to drift the touge
