Oh Im sorry... Did I hurt your feelings?

You know nothing about my family...

Drifting is a judged sport, hence why I said it is the lowest form. Your not racing. The names you mentioned mean as much to me when it comes to cars and racing as the Taco Bell dog does.

 

i know nothign about your family because there is nothing to know. nobody here claimed it was racing, you ASSumed it. the fact that rod millen means nothing to you is a testament to your ignorance, and your racing "heritage". but please tell us about your familys awesome heritage, and for the record, sponsorless spec or open wheel formula series mediocre results do not count as heritage, no matter how much money your family spent on it over the years.

 

About my never was family heritage? Sorry but my brother alone has raced with Christian Fittipaldi, Scott Speed (who later came and asked "does he have the same kart as me?" - when he, Scott Speed, had a 15hp faster one and was getting beaten around the track) and F1 drivers in karting. He has a prototype frame which Christian personally wanted to have the first race on.

My father has raced Formulas, including test driving F1s along with test driving for major car manufacturers, stock car racing, road track racing, rally, motocross, etc... Sponsorless? I guess Dr.Pepper means nothing, I know European companies wont ring a bell for you. There are many F1 drivers I could name who were as close as family such as Hakkinen, Lehto, Salo...

Before f**king saying what my family is good at think a little. My father was the champion in his classes in Finland and held track records for several tracks even years after he left. I believe Kovalainen was the first to break one of his records. My brother was for 2004 Top-5 driver out of North and South America in karting and placed second for 2005 prior to moving overseas and raced for Fittipaldi. He has been offered a spot in F3.

I know drifting is not racing, but high-performance vehicles are usually intended for racing and push the cars limits. The majority of this site spends their money on making their cars hook, accelerate and handle.

Formula class names originate from FIA, all which require FIA licenses to participate in, and naturally have to be earned as my father has. Formula D as far as I know is not an FIA class.

 

besides the obviuos BS in your whole post, do you think my car will not accellerate or handle? 500 horses in a 2500lb package with more wheel/tire clearance than 3/4 of the cars on this board, yeah what a waste. also if its any consolation prize, several good aquantances of mine also do karting, and have sponsors, adn have raced against big names several times, often beating them. thats in karts, the difference is they understand carts is not F1 or champcar/IRL, and theres often a reason the sponsored kart guys arent donig anything bigger.

you are right on one account, formula d is not FIA, its SCCA. champ car / irl isnt FIA either, oh teh noes. neither is formula ford, toyota formula atlantic etc etc. the horror of fact strikes again. my series also requires a liscence, which i am one of <50 in the world to posses. who cares?

 

Formula Ford over here requires an FIA license. My point was over the name "Formula", which Champ Car and IRL do not contain. I believe Formula Atlantic is just another example of how the name is being used without being a FIA motorsport.

Theres not a single piece of BS in my post, not one. I have never had to bring it up on these forums before because no one else is as offensive as you. But then again to someone like you I shouldnt even have to prove anything.

My point on cars was, even with your 500hp your not racing the car around the track... Its a simple point.

 

wow all i have to say about the bitching and fighting. The car looks like it is going to be a handful all that power in that little car pretty damn cool.

mikespeed has been a pain in the *** before, read this to see his last conversation: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...9&page=3&pp=20

The car will be nice when he finishes it, and he is a good driver - just needs to work on his 'people' skills

 

Who ever said drifting is gay must not be able to do it.

 

speaking of that thread, Mr. Evans...and my kicking off of bubba drift, How come the Bubba Drift team was forced to retire after "sponsor trouble" , yet mr. horrible people Mike Peters, pulls in over 20 new sponsors, in addition to returning sponsors from 2005, in a 3 month time frame, meanwhile you manage to lose 2/5 sponsors after having one of the best seasons of 2005?

you want to talk ****, thats fine, but lets here the whole story.

sorry i was too busy building my car for long beach to read the other thread, but im sure everyoen would like to know the whole story.



some you people trying to talk **** is funny.

 

thansk for bothering to download my vid , im quite happy about how it turned out, we used lots of cameras in it.

why are you guys on ls1tech.com so much against drifting? i've searched on drifting here a few times, to see if i could find som camaros that does it, there is a few nice threads here, but in most of the thread you just talk about how gay drifting is. Lets talk more about the cars guys. anyone now about a site with more info on the car in the beginning of this thread. I wouldnt call that car a ricer btw, its got an LS1! , great light little car with big engine. thats what i want...

 

and this fits in wiht your "heritage" how?

nobody else is as offensive as me? please. you dont like drifting thats great, but dont give me some buttered up my brother beat scott speed in a shifter kart race that scott speed didnt give 2 ***** about and was probably only doing to pass time and try to pass it as some sort of heritage. my dad has driven scca trans am cars, doesnt mean he was good at it or my family has any sort of heritage.

please tell me more about my plans with my vehicle. do you seriously think i build a car like this to only drift it? you have got to be out of your mind. im a car guy. that thing will see many trips to the drag strip, mexico, texas world speedway, maybe msr, no problem raceway, and anywhere else i can go beat the **** out of it and get a smile on my face.

 

You keep bringing up heritage, but lets recap:

That was my original reply... as Ive already stated with examples Formula and track racing are in my family. But you wanted to go overboard and started being offensive about it. Im sorry your dad wasnt good, but thats no reason to say other people's fathers arent.

When someone builds a car for drag racing, they set it up for drag racing... When someone builds a car for the [road] track, they set it up for track racing...
When someone builds a car for drifting, its usually setup for drifting. You dont build a "drift car" with slicks and a wheelie bar, etc...

 

I've been nice in the past because i didn't want to start **** with sponsors around, now i can let fly. How many e-mails and other crap from you do you want me to post up?

I kicked you out because i didn't not want to put up with you. I was not 'forced to retire' and none of my sponsors left me. One of my major sponsors wanted to wanted to cut back their support, and since i was already on a tight budget i decided not to continue. I'm married, with a kid and a full time job - who was doing this as a hobby. I'm not a loser who lives at home with his mom and leeches off of everyone around them.

I know sponsors who you have pissed off and won't touch you. I know that you brought an never ran project car all the way to california only to embarrass yourself. I know most of you sponsors and your terms. You are good driver, but that is about all that you have. Come back after a successful season, right now all you have is blowing up your 'turbo KA' at it's first event and a non-running car at another.

There are only a few forums i care about, this one. Keeping posting your crap on other places.

American drifting = donuts and burnouts. Beyond that traction loss is meaningless. Any sport where a CRX and a Viper can place within 10 places of each other just doesn't make any sense. I see it kind of like the political correctness wave of BS. If your car can't drag, road race, hold up to endurance, or drive offroad, that used to mean you drove a shitbox. Now you can put some bald tires on it and you're competitive despite the worthlessness of the car.

 

do you konw what a drift car is? its about the same as a roadrace car, only drifting doesnt allow R compounds. d1 cars with sticky tires run very very fast times in japan, and 1/2 the d1 cars are also roadrace cars. its a street car, that happens to compete in the pro level drifting events.

you stated that formula racing runs in your family, implying you have some sort of awesome insight to the automotive racing world. i stated that i pitted next to rich rutherford, and rhys and rod millen were out there. you didnt know who rod millen was, which imho denounces any credibility to you, or your formula racing family. we also have an ex-IRL driver out there, and he has a shitload of fun in his 69 camaro, but i guess it doesnt matter because as you said, drifting is the lowest form of auto sport, because your obviously hall of fame material formula racer family must know everything.

 

please do. you kicked me off because you didnt want me around because "it was your team and creation and you didnt get attention" suprise suprise the driver gets all the attention. welcome to reality.

get cooper back then. they booted you. end of story.

you mean, aaron didnt get a liscence, so you had to figure out how to pay for transport, so when you called up cooper and pissed them off, they cut you off, and that was the end of your creation. you created it, and you killed it.

[quoite] I'm married, with a kid and a full time job - who was doing this as a hobby. I'm not a loser who lives at home with his mom and leeches off of everyone around them.[/quote]

haha, nice try. i have enough people who support me to do this season, and i give as much back to them as i can. this is the team concept you were so against, not letting anyone help you because it was your creation, and you wanted all the credit. tahts not how i roll, and i never will. teams suceed, individuals dont.

lets hear your insight. name one sponsor who ''wont touch me'', and ill go pick them up before atlanta. get cooper back then you have a right to talk.

hows your car running? oh wait its not. i put a 5 year old turbo that sat on a car, and the seals blew. suprise suprise. the best part is i didnt care, beat the **** out of it all day and besides some blown turbo seals it ran mediocre. not bad for a car built in a couple days and between customer cars.

that must be why your post count is so high. and if my post is indeed crap then why do you want it to go away? because its truth and you wnat people to believe your little story? nobody cares. you wanted all the glory and all the attention and you got it. some people were in it because they liked the team, they liked the bubba drift, the idea that a piece of **** car with some work and some badass driving could go out there and kick ***, no matter how much it wasnt suppost to. your ego got in the way of that, and you killed it single handedly, leaving derrick hanging, and everyoen who was ever a part of bubba drift with a big empty void in everything they knew as drifting. all because you had to go ******* emo and woudlnt let anyone help you, or do anything because it was your creation and your deal. good job.


this thread has gone down the *******, someone split this so i can set up some races with my new racecar and have some fun with it, and maybe by an act of god make some of you people lose your preconception aboutr drifting, and that it is here for one purpose, fun. fun does not include drama, or jelous car owners who didnt make it, or family formula who thinks drifting is the scum of motorsports. its about scaring the ever living **** out of your passenger knowing they will walk away and it will be an adrenaline rush they couldnt repeat no matter how much they paid, tearing the **** out of your car and doing everything youve ever wanted to do but shouldnt on a racetrack, making tire smoke, and having fun.

 

I always promote my drivers, not myself. I put your name on the shirts i made, not mine. I've always been last on my site on the drivers info, etc.

I still have an offer from them, you either don't know or are lying.

It passed inspection today, and i'm about to go to the local hangout with it in a few minutes.

You spent a lot more than a couple of days on it. You didn't have it setup & tuned right and you blew the rings out of it.

You post a lot of spam, you have almost no tech to offer. Anybody can do a post search and see that. How many forums have you been kicked off of?

You've got so much crap in your post. Who are you trying to impress? No one on here knows the real truth - so it would be you long posts vs mine.

Maybe i'll make a page on my site giving all of the dirt, including e-mails and references for those who care.

I'm going driving,

James

 

Wow Mike, just wow. Seriously, wow.

This is turning into a classic case of "he-said, she-said". I'm pretty sure if/when it comes time to substantiate each others accusations to the crowd, James will let loose a flood and you'll be scrounging to inflate inconsiquential blurbs as you always do.
Wow, you expect people to believe that? Weeeeeeeeeek! What's far more believable is that you were more a pain to put up with that James cared to withstand, and within this thread you are corroborating this truth to others with a glimpse of your full personality.

He-said, she-said -- everyone, who you gonna believe?
Again, wow. Why are you making this **** up, Mike? Oh wait, dumb question. You are simply tying to discredit James with unsubstantiable drivel and distortion. See, in this case, only the sponsor Cooper can clarify what happened, but Mike knows well that that's not going to happen. "Damn the truth! No-one will find it anyways, so I'll just make **** up to glorify myself and discredit my foes!"

It's understandable that you feel ill toward James for removing you from the "team" and taking your car, *ahem* I mean HIS car away from you (which you were privilaged to drive, and nothing more), but the extreem malice you've displayed toward him is highly repugnant to those who see it for what it is.

He-said, she said, who you gonna believe?
No, nice try to YOU. James wanted all the credit? What? Link please? Sorry, that's not what James was looking for, even through the tens of thousands of his own dollars he spent toting you're no-job-havin *** around the country last year. He did enjoy managing the team, and that's what motivated his involvement, but you have no business making false claims about his intentions to try and save face on your own failing. Forget it and move on goddamn-it! James is out of your life, he's no longer a part of your precious little "racing career" you're trying to build up, neither you-him. You are absolutely free to say things in his regard, but pay some god-damn respect where it's due!!! If that means suppressing your pathological lying for a minute, then that can be a start. . . .

Another he-said, she-said, who you gonna beleive?
I'm 10 miles away, and there's only ONE ego that I can clearly see from this distance. . . . .
I was left hanging, yes, but don't be so quick to put words in my mouth. I made it clear to James long ago that I was concerned with the emotional and financial stress he was facing with the Bubba Drift effort, that he needn't feel obligation to me on anything. HE decided to pull the plug on everything, but not before consulting with me first. The timing was unfortunate, but the circumstances were highly justifiable. You don't know what those circumstances were, so STFU damnit, and quite trying to spin it for your own face-saving agenda!
Thanks to you're passion for deception and just plain being an ***. Way to represent those sponsors. . . . . yup. . . . .
Sorry everyone for the drama, I don't much care for it either. I'm just here to defend a friend. . . .

 

You guys are rediculous, all the guy was trying to do was show you something he thought was cool, something he's interested in, and you shot him the **** down. How bout this instead of fighting, if you dont like whats posted then dont read the thread, if you like it comment on it. It's a simple concept, BTW I think thats a bad *** ride ricer or not thats still an LS1 under the hood and that will bring out the beast in any car. And if i remember correctly drifting was invented by bored rednecks with high powered cars on some back country roads. Just my .02
