OH NO, GOD NO, NOT NEW RACERS, OMFG Our Car club might survive in the future!!! 
IMO this could be way awesome. Might just convince a few kids that legal racing is where its @!
Shit 2 guys i bought out to the last autoX where in an RX-7, are way into JDM and drifting. my buddy Gabe actually did a bunch of drift competitions and he was running pretty close to my pace in my car when i let him drive it once. (.4 off?)
They didn't spin out, they stayed on course, they worked, they helped out a long time SCCA member with his tires when he had some issue with a lug that was stripped or something...
Retarded  really , Should we make flyers saying people into JDM, Drift are not welcome? maybe just toss in "no one under 20" for good measure... just don't blame me when one of those kids drifts into your car on a public street because they feel they have no outlets at all to drive fast...
well maybe that pecticular type of kid is a lost cause, but if you have half a brain you should have gotten my point by now. |
What are you going on about?
SCCA has had repeated problems with the traditional import crowd. Most kids are not like your example in the rx7 or like all of us Subaru people circa 2003 when we joined up. For the most part, the ricer stereotype holds true, and people that come out in unsafe cars with fast n furious attitudes (ie the street racer types) are liabilities to the SCCA. Keeping our sites and our insurance depends on running organized safe events.
The SCCA wouldn't have such a problem with having so many old geezers if a higher percentage of young guys weren't douchebag street racers with something to prove. People like you, me, and the rest of the folks here that participate in sanctioned motorsports are not the norm for the 20 to 30 year old crowd. The sad fact of the matter is that by far the age group is made up of people that dont have the humility to put up with the structured environment of SCCA.
