I was a promoter for this even and ask to upgrade my seat for 5 dollars so
I didn't have to stand. They said I had to pay 35 dollars because they were not upgrading seats. I was helping them out and that's what I got in return. Very disappointed. I left at 430 because I was so pissed off.

I am not hard to please, but there weren't many cars in the car show. Yes some of the cars were well built, I guess I'm tired of seeing the same cars at shows lol. Trailer queens don't impress me. You don't think there are tight circuits in Japan? I've ran my car on e-town, and it is a bit narrow in some sections.

JDMuscle, I heard the MC say that, but I didn't hear what you said lol.....that's hilarious. I was over in the half ass VIP section. I was so disappointed with the event as a whole I wrote a complaint to D1....not really expecting a response though.

The way they had the car show setup was pretty wack, I expected it to be in the lot where you enter at by the white shack since it was a D1 event. I did expect something more on a better level. I spoke to a couple of drivers and they only had 20 minutes each to get runs on the track with some having new setups wasn't enough track time to get used to the cars.

I paid 30 bucks to "stand" and i ended up sitting on the bleachers anyway.

I couldnt tell what was so good about the VIP section... looked just like where i was sitting at.

PM me where you can write complaints, I have like 50 people from Driftpa that all want their money back

Yeah ViP seating and over zealous security guards is wack. I tried to get a beer and because I didnt have a yellow band I couldnt get in but I had a purple and pink but guess that was useless. I walked over to the ViP and took 2 beers out to the track with me

The event as a whole was a complete joke. Anyone who has gone to any professional event would have felt the same. Honestly, it felt like some local track day, not a professional series. The MC was annoying and terrible. The "VIP" was a joke and a waste of money. I think the better seats were the cheaper seats to be honest. The judges seem more worried about ending the event then anything else (no one more times). The car show small, you would think at D1 there would be a lot more cars.

I have never been to a D1 event before, but I have been to other events (Hyperfest, SCCA, NASA races etc...) and they were much more professional then what happend at e-town.

I went with McVicker, and a bunch of other people who all felt the same, and after watching the dvd of e-twon in 2005, I was complete disbelief. 2005 was on a completely different level of an event, and it was only an exhibition!!! I felt cheated out of my money.

I think E-town was over booked and D1 made due with what they had available. They had to end the event because there is a 10pm limit at E-Town and cars have to be off the track. This is good info from you guys because basically I am planning on calling D1 and writing a formal email so when they come back next year we can have a better event. I enjoyed the driving for the most part at this event over Formula D. I think the drivers did good with the time they had and the horrible lighting they had to deal with. Friday nights practice they only had 4 -6 light stands out there and more were bought over Saturday morning. I really couldn't hear the MC from the track but I guess it must of been real bad.

Just imagine an Over caffeinated Chipmunk with ADHD trying to talk about a sport that he has absolutely NO idea whats going on, couldn't pronounce anything.... he kept calling the Toyota Soarer a "Soara" He couldn't say any of the J-drivers names... and wouldn't stop talking the entire event... he talked so much i couldn't hear the engines or anything. Just this retard saying over and over "The one and only..." Or he would keep talking about how he hung out with his best friends younger brother "the young buck" whos the best driver out there.... He was a ****ing idiot and he should be fired....

LMFAO.....we were saying the EXACT same things. His miss quotes were endless....I think the "asians can't see good" line was his nail in the coffin. But another quote was "get off your feet" and something about Formula D..... it's D1! I'm pretty sure the MC was the owner of the matte white and black SC300 or "Soara" ;)

that day was a big waste of time and money. track sucked.announcer sucked. car show sucked. the models were ****in ugly exept for one..$35 for a ****y ass bleacher seat. best place to be was by the bank.. the mc stunt show blew big time!! it looked like a club loose event and not d1. cuz that definetly did not look like a d1 event....now that i got that off my chest i feel alot better..... never again will i go to a major event at etown..i rather stay in town or drift the streets

[OBEEWON]

How we do not have at least one super sick road course in this area makes absolutely no sense at all. It would make so much money.

[RSX Type-Slow]

i remember old d1 at Etown back in 05 or 06 in the parking lot. THAT was a badass track. fast entrys. Formula D at Etown runs much better events than half assed D1

and obewon i totally agree. we need an East coast vrsion of horse theif mile for realz

Thunderbolt at NJMP is a pretty slick track.

Just getting around to posting about this, but damn...it sucked. My girlfriend and I left early because we were so bored. The VIP seats were horrible, you couldn't see anything. First the sun was in your eyes, then it was to dark to see anything.

Car show sucked, any form of entertainment sucked, there was almost no "free stuff" like at Formula D, and the drifters were amateurs. I paid for tickets, took a weekend off work, drove 4 hours there and back. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. Only thing I got out of it were some sweet NICO Club t-shirts for my girlfriend and I which I bought. I had more fun watching kids tear it up in the Etown parking lot on Wednesdays when I used to live in NJ, I think they're probably better than these guys too.

This event almost makes me hate drifting because of how much of a bad experience it was, but then I rememeber how good Formula D is every year at Wall. Somebody from D1 owes me money.

Thank God I didn't show up early, had to wait till 1 to get in as media? WTF? Club Loose is way better than this.
