Well what can you say put RIP hachi
I have already emailed the old video and now this link to as many Automotive related people that i can think of to hopefully gain some sponsorship for simon . Maybe the board members can approach the following sponsors of this forum : http://www.toymods.org.au/sponsors.php
As for the reply i have already received i think this will not be to difficult as long as people get that video out there .
Simon's driving speaks for itself , the comments i have received back from people related to track racing are mostly center around the corner speed that Simon carrys the drift . There comment that most of the other cars are simple power-sliding out of the corner . There entry speed isn't even close to Simon's which the video footage easily shows . That the first time i have seen the runs of the last final and i can think is how ripped off Simon was , but this shows his never die attitude to the sport since i haven't heard a bad word from him on this . That show's a true sportsman no matter what the competition is , not blaming others . I guess thats how self secure he is with his own ability of driving .
But this brings up no matter how good you are in driving there is always the car . When i spotted that car in the F1 hotel carpark at the last Calder event i couldn't believe what a shit heap it was , or that he could drive a shit heap so well . The lack of preparation for a trip interstate compared to other people in the sport was amazing for myself , and why is this so , easy he is one person who is trying to do it all by himself . I am sure that most of the other drifters had workshops or where working full time on the vehicle before a event . I know after dropping in at Chaser's before the SA event my friend Brad was flat out preparing his car in a full equipped workshop . Not just a driveway which Simon has had to work on , the level of work which anyone is capable of in that environment no matter what there skill level is low . You take the best mechanic , give him not the best tools , and materials , and the out come will be less than perfect every time .
I finishing my long rant about this .
All i can say that no matter how persistent in following you dreams sometimes things don't go to plan and you never get to achieve what you might have . And i think i could safely say that this unlucky patch Simon has had would have had most of us throwing in the towel a long time ago . I know i have rarely see someone pursue any competition with the level of intensity which is Simon does .
So please do all you can to help Simon in the future .
But on a lighter note
"pay your dues" ? who is paying me for me unauthorized footage And since when am i a part of the Adelaide AE86 community ? or was there some ceremony like handing over the key to the city which i missed
