While at the ProAm Nationals in Laughlin, NV.... I'll be uploading pics from my phone directly the link above. The quality of the pics will be weak to say the least, but I'll do what I can.

I'll also be trying to upload cellphone vids to the following address. Im having a little trouble getting it to work. We'll see I guess. I apologize in advance if it doesn't.

Could I get a wake up call at 4:30a and 5:00a? And, in case I don't wake up, can you send someone to pound on my door at 5:15a? thanks!!

tino just hit the wall! passenger side wheels are toast and control arms snapped. his ability to continue is uncertain. will update soon.

Rhoad Racing · 11-10-2006, 04:24 PM

tino is done

car is unrepairable at the present time

brainfood · 11-10-2006, 05:00 PM

Damn I was really pulling for Tino! He loves those walls

How are Justin (Green FC), John (baby blue 86), and Lance (blue s14.5) doing? I put money on the them in the top 8 for sure, Hopefully take home licenses.

Vosko · 11-10-2006, 06:19 PM

this pic is crazy!

i feel bad for that guy

all of the above are doing extremely well! Certainly top 8 material IMO.
lance is the only 86 driver to link the course. but not only that, his entry speed is outstanding and very consistant.

nick hogan got the hang of it it towards the end of the day. however, I don't forsee him making it too far in the bracket.

verena is also doing descent. she's improved greatly but she'll need to step it up a notch tomorrow.

that's all I got for tonight. i'll continue in the morning. :: friver pratice in the AM, eliminations start at 12noon (central time)

brainfood · 11-10-2006, 09:30 PM

You mean John? Verena will probably pull out some good runs when it counts she usually does. Thanks for the updates, I cant wait to see some videos. Carnage doesnt look like its as bad as Qualcomm qualifier this year but after tommorow might claim as many cars.

Rhoad Racing · 11-10-2006, 10:02 PM

just got word that Tino has repaired the 350 and will be able to return.

A local shop is helping The Drift Truck with his broken idle arm, so he too should return.

And June (cant recall his last name) is the black s13 tagged the wall earlier tonight. wasn't too bad but enough to cause motor damage. his turbo assembly shifted thus pushing his exhaust onto the steering rack. he removed the exhaust and has full steering capabilities again.

Rhoad Racing · 11-10-2006, 10:20 PM

yea... john. my bad. I'm posting all this stuff from my phone and misread his post.

it'll be interesting to see who and who doesn't buckle under the pressure; especially between varena and yoshie. between those two I would give verena a slight advantage. verena understeers constantly but yoshie spins equally as much.

Rhoad Racing · 11-10-2006, 11:41 PM

just want to clarify.... some of my play-by-play says that those who've totalled their car are "done". that's not entirely the case. if that driver (s) IS allowed to use someone else's car if need be.

Joon Maeng

who do you see as top 8??

Rhoad Racing · 11-11-2006, 08:42 AM

Purely based on practice runs and in no particular order:

Tino (assuming he gets his car fixed)
Justin (Green FC)
John (baby blue 86)
Lance (blue s14.5)
Aaron Losey (silver twin turbo 350Z)
Cerwin-vega s13 (sorry, can't recall his name at the moment)
Ernie (rotora s13.5)
Chris krigarian (sp?) (lime green s14 w/skyline front and rear)

Rhoad Racing · 11-11-2006, 10:55 AM

drivers have all stepped it up today. nick hogan is looking smooth. drift patrol is kicking *Censored**Censored**Censored*. lance just made the best run I've seen all weekend.

on the other hand, tino and the drift truck have fixed their vehicles but aren't performing nearly as well as they were yesterday. in paticular, tino's alignment is screwed.

Rhoad Racing · 11-11-2006, 11:39 AM

sonny's car is no longer

Mike Peters · 11-11-2006, 12:14 PM

whats the track layout like?

nvm, just called boxmod, same 3rd gear entry to wall 2nd gear chicane.

add a jump or something for qualifying. it woudl be really cool if they put a krail perpendicular to the outside wall leaving a 15' wide hole you were forced to drift thru. make it happen.

i was gonna go but my pos truck and chrysler's awesome warranty are now telling me it will be several weeks before my truck is ready (its been 4 weeks already) because now the tranny is on backorder *Censored**Censored**Censored* *Censored**Censored**Censored* *Censored**Censored**Censored*.

11-11-2006, 12:53 PM

I hope Sonny get his *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* together.

BARRY · 11-11-2006, 01:11 PM

i was on my way to nationals 2 days ago...1/4th the way there the stupid suburban breaks down. leaves me stranded for a whole day.

anyway, good luck everybody! sucks i can't be there to compete with you all.

Rhoad Racing · 11-11-2006, 02:30 PM

b/c the # of FD drivers paricipating tomorrow is unknown, the top 20 pro-am drivers were announced instead of jusy the top 16. the object is to have a full grid in tommorrows comp which means theres a possibilty that more than 16 pro-am drivers could move on to the final round tomorrow.

Drivers who made the cut are:
20.martin roush
19.nick hogan
18.brian peters
17.aaron lousey

16.john wagner
15.martin cromwell
14.mark a.
13.amin r.
12.JT
11.gary lang
10.tommy s.
09.steven s.
08.jeff jones
07.david pidrone
06.doug van den brink
05.lance f.
04john russicoff (sp?)
03.chris mindoza
02.ryan clemons
01.justin pollock

we are in a small intermission right now. top 16 tandem will begin soon. top 3 drivers from the tandem runs will be awarded FD liscences.

Mike Peters · 11-11-2006, 02:35 PM

tomorrow all the 2006 FD liscenced drivers who did not accumulate points in 06 join in correct?

today was just new guys trying to get in?

Rhoad Racing · 11-11-2006, 02:35 PM

sonny jumped in joon maeng's car for qualifications but came up short. it didn't get a feel for the car until his last run but by that time it was too late. its a shame to see that...he was doing well.

its been an interesting day thus far. the tables have turned sort a speak. most who did well yesterday choked today and vice versa

Rhoad Racing · 11-11-2006, 02:44 PM

yea...that's correct mike

Rhoad Racing · 11-11-2006, 08:24 PM

on the way to the banquet where the winners will be announced
