Okay,

It seems everyone is still asleep from a tiring day today so its up to me to write a little something about yesterday. Pictures will follow soon, many of us made pictures, just need to find time to put everything online.

I went to Banpei early in the day and met up with Robokill and ThePrez at his house. Two Hachi's in tandom ignoring the speed limit a bit, drove towards Arnhem. Surprisingly enough we drove there without any wrong turns and were stopped by some nice officials who had no idea where we needed to go and pick up tickets. Its pay or not get in.. Huh??!? So we double backed to the macdonnalds and gave Kristian a call. He did his best to tell me I had to go past the officials, and I did my best to explain him that we weren't allowed to go past the officials, in the end he had to come all the way to the mcdonnalds to pick us up. Turns out the damn officials send us to the wrong parkinglot in the first place. All ends well there though.. but it was the first of escalating encounters with the fact the officials on the floor weren't very brieved when it came to participents and such.....

So we met up with Ivan and his friend, Kristian and his swedish team and I can't remember who elseSmile Hanging around the 'pits' most of the time, it was alot of fun. The driftworks guys were already there aswell, I didn't get to know them that well but they seemed like fun guys with a good attitude.

A little while longer Jasper came with his japanese blue Levin hatch and P-nut with his gray Hachi and wrote themselves in for the competition.

Everyone was doing practice rounds the whole evening, but terrible for photographing, it was all way to dark in the stage.

Then suddenly the bad news hit us. The practice rounds were being judged and suddenly Kristian got the word he wasnt in the competition. They guy drives 1000km on request of the organisation to join in only to hear that he's not allowed to compete, WTF?!?!! And his driving was alot better then some of the guys that did make it?? Man that sucks. Sure the hachi's were having a difficult time on the very sticky underground but common!! After alot of pursuading and alot of help from the guys at Toyo Tires Kristian was allowed to compete.

Then came the next problem. We had already noticed that the darkness was terrible for photographing. The swedish guys had gotten permission to go into the middle platform in the middle of the arena to do their photographing there with the rest of the press only to find themselves being send away being misunderstood because obviously nobody spoke a desent bit of englishSad

We didn't get much more luck. We had agreed with the organisation we were allowed to watch the show from a stand somewhot closer to the grounds, only to find ourselves being confronted with some fat bitch from hell who thought she was the person who organised this whole thing (just another clueless ground woman) and send us back where we came from. She got in our faces a lot of times in the event and probably grew to hate us more then we hated her. Maybe a good thing, I dont care...

SO most of the times we hung around in the pits.. The start of the competition went a bit weird, nobody really knew what was going on. The first round was a 350Z that had to compete with Jaspers levin. A really nice run but unfortunately the 350Z with 100x more power and no problems with the grippy surface of the arena ment Jasper was out of the game. The 350Z in the end became second, so maybe Jasper could have been 3rd, we'll never know (3rd was a white BMW that sucked ass).

Kristian went up to Phil (I think it was, sorry if I got your name wrong) from driftworks with his S14. A very nice and close race. With Phil in front Kristian was right up his bumper only to have the S14 spun out when they left the main track. In the reverse run the S14 lagged a bit further behind then Kristian did on the first run but Kristian spul out at the same spot the S14 did in the first run. We pretty much all agreed it was a close call but Kristian did win it. Even phil said so the minute he got out of the S14. The organisation however, called the S14 the winner.....

Then it was time for the recess... Being tired of not being able to photograph anything after driving 1000km from sweden we were on a mission to get these guys to the center stage. A very very nice lady who was directing things in the pits was finally able to help us. She directed us to the real guys in charge, we were finally able to say our thing and directed personally by one of the top brass to the center stage. Non of the officials were there yet so he went around the other reporters there to strengthen our cause. Offcourse the first thing that happened when the officials returned was that they kindly asked us to leave. So we nicely informed us that we were invited to be here and if he didn't believe us that he should radio in with the top brass. Obviously he had this going on the whole day because his reaction suddenly got alot more friendly and told me we could stay and explained some safeties and stuff. Turned out to be a pretty nice guy, his only fault being that the people upstairs didn't inform him very well.

So we watched the rest of the show from the center ring. Got a really nice close look at the almost naked girls chilling it out in the freezing cold (actually, looking at some from a distance was a better ideaSmile) and really started to wonder if this was really a drift event or not because most of the pass time shows had nothing to do with drifting...

In the end though, we really got the idea that these guys organising the show were a bit clueless when it came to drifting and twin drifting rules. The judging was questionable, and the people on the floor had little idea what the agreements were made by the people upstairs.

I must admit, I had alot of fun. Meeting alot of new people within the drifting world, seeing Jasper and Kristian do their stuff. Seeing the guys from driftworks. Man that was great. But the event itself.... My next agenda is crossing the channel and seeing how things are done there nextSmile Heck I'm even thinking about writing myself in. I've noticed the setup changes I've done my car are making it much easier to controll and put into a slide (all I need to do now is dare to keep it in a slide, I correct the slide instinctively before it even starts). So all that stands between me and competing is practiceSmile

Greetz,
