I Hate Car Bike Track Days!

[imdying]

Like Rugby........

To a lesser extent, but yes, Rugby definitely has sufficient elements to fall under that umbrella.

Drifting is bullshit. It's not motorsport,....... blah blah blah blah....... crap all over the track. Ahem.

Still beating that old drum mate?

I don't think you want a piece of that.

[diggydog]

they should be made to clean the track before you guys go on, surely theres someone must be accountable for a clean track before you start.

[Kickaha]

Screw those hippys leaving crap all over the track. Ahem.

When's the last time you went to a track they left crap all over?

[onearmedbandit]

Yes, that is a good question.

[imdying]

Yes, that is a good question.

You're the one that told me that that crap was a result of 'drifting', I have (had) no reason to disbelieve you. To be honest, my major beef with drifting is that judged event aren't actually 'sport', that they leave crap on the track is just another good reason to hate on them.

[Mr. Peanut]

Drifting on the street with a standard car is cool. But as a sport? Wasteful.

[onearmedbandit]

The shit brought onto the track that day was from guys drifting their std cars on days when no one is allowed to drift. When the drift guys go out to practice their SPORT they clean up after themselves.

Yeah yeah, see you tonight. You can reeducate me then Bring a box if you've got one, We'll gather up the last of the crap. I'll see if I can find an ice cream container for the little bits we don't wanna lose...

[Ghost Lemur]

Drifting is bullshit. It's not motorsport, it's a lamed judged 'event'. What other bullshit subjective loser sports can we compare it to... diving, and figure skating come to mind. Anything that can't be measured is bollocks. If it requires a judge which is open to bias, bribes, whatever, then it's just another crappy old boys network piece of crap that should be told to fuck off.

You mean like stunt riding? And FMX?

On the non bike related (not)sports. Surfing, Freestyle anything, Snowboarding halfpipe, etc, etc.

[trumpy]

Want some interesting track conditions? Try being the next race out after the trucks.........slipeeery.....

[Flyno]

I agree the drifters trucks watever, they can use the track they should not be botted for a sport they choose, remmember we can dump oil and everything else!
really aslong as all these sports agree to keeping the track in a good state, it would make better relationship between the two and we will all enjoy our motorsport!
Also its the car bike days that annoy me with the cirb hooping!

[quickbuck]

Manfeild may be getting bad, but I bet the 600's can do 1-09's this season, so it cannot be that bad! It really is no worse on the true race line than it has been for 10 years or more

1-09's! on a Six-hundy That will be good to see.

Yep, the track condition (Manfeild) hasn't improved over the years, largely to do with wear and tear.
I also get ticked off with the Wannabe drifters dragging all manner of stuff onto the track. I am not a pro, and it is more good luck than good management that I actually get the line right all the time (or any of the time), so it is a little off putting to hit a slippery bit off line.
However, there is much more grip to be had than on your standard back road.

As for drifting being a sport, well I thought it was a technique used in the sport of Rally Driving, and Speedway driving.
