I don't disagree that it was stupid of him. This just isn't the time nor place to call him on it. Trust me, you'll do stupid **** too in your life. And when it happens, you won't want people ragging you on it. You'll know it was stupid, and you probably won't do it again. Cut the guy some slack.

Steve

P.S. Let's keep this out of this thread, if you wanna PM to talk about it, that's totally cool. Again, my sympathy to Jeff and his family, and everyone else involved.

 

I hope he pulls through.

Dan

 

Me too, let us know when anyone gets an update on how he is doing.

 

Thats horrible, I will keep him & his family in my prayers. Miracles do happen.

 

this is sad best of luck for jeff...hope he recovers!

 

Man that is terrible news. I wish he and your family the best.

The Pacific NW seems to be relatively hard on rotorheads or maybe I pay attention more since I live here. Roads out here are fun but dangerous.

RIP Trey Jones (Portland area) and Trev Dagely (Washington state).

Jeff

 

sweeet!!!! drifting in public rocks!!!!!

and crashing intot innocent people rules!!!!!

hope he learned a lesson.

umm I got a question.....

like 1st rain of the year hell its amlost feaking OCT you me to tell me that it has not rained all year yet?

 

yeah cut the guy some slack, lets hear you say that then after his car come flying into your car head on with your family inside of it. becuase he wants to think he is cool and drifts.

drifting on the street in public is just pain stupid.

 

Thats not what he meant...

The point there is that his brother took the time to post what happened when you do things like that. I think that we are all in agreement that it wasnt the smartest thing to do, but EVERYONE here has done something that wasnt smart at least once in thier lives.

The point here is that a fellow rotary enthusiast is seriously hurt. His OWN BROTHER posted what happened and the consequences of the actions taken by his own kin. Pretty hard thing for him to do i'd imagine..

So if we all want to debate the pros and cons of Street Racing/Drifting, LETS DO IT ON ANOTHER THREAD!


Rat

 

Yes please.

 

Agreed, lets not fill up this thread with the politics of the situation.

Im really sorry to hear this happened...........................

 

hey 87 gtr wtf gives you the right to talk so much trash on my brother who is lying lifeless on a hospital bed with machines breathing for him. Another thing is his brain is starting to swell and they might have to cut off the sides of his skull to let his brain swell from the severe bruising and if they do that operation they will have to put him in a big refrigertor until the swelling goes down. So 87 gtr quit talkin trash.
P.s. I am not sure he was drifting, and we had something like a 38 day dry spell so it was the first real rain

 

anyone talking any trash in this thread is just a sensless *******. People make me so sick. I feel very sorry for everything that has happened to your bro. Really hope he pulls through, best of luck.

 

my sympathy for your brother and your family, having some one hurt in the rotor community is like a brother being hurt. we all have the same love, maybe everything will be ok and he can share his love with the community once more.

OMG, thats so terrible. My thoughts and prayers go out to your brother and your family. Keep us updated.

 

This is horrible news.
Greg, All my prayers go to you and your family with hopes that Jeff pulls through this ordeal.

This is not the thread for people to discuss whether what Jeff was possibly doing is right or wrong. He is Greg's brother, but he is also our friend. He is one of us and what we need to do is hope and pray that he pulls through instead of trying to kick him while he's down.
Get well Jeff.

 

Oye... this sorta stuff makes me glad my rear-sway bar is out so the back-end isn't as tail happy. Makes drifting nearly impossible but improves autox times a lot Doesn't understear, doesn't oversteer, quite neutral.

That's horrible, I hope he makes it out alright...

 

bumping to let the weekend forum visitors know about Jeff.

 

Any updates on how he is doing?

 

so far the only real change in his condition is the doctors performed some tests to determine if he has any feeling in his arms and legs, it turns out he has feeling but this still does not mean he will have full use. Only time can tell about that. Also they set his broken neck so ut seems that that should heal. But on the darker side they still don't know if he will wake up or how much brain damage is done. The reason for this is they scanned his brain and when it came back it looked like damage but this early that can still be a concusion. One more piece of good news is his brain did not swell dangerously so they did not have to perform the skull slicing surgery.

 

Get well Jeff!
My thoughts go to your family...

...good luck!

 

The message is clear. These cars are way fun to drive, but practicing high performance maneuvers can only be done when there is no traffic or obstacles near.

The price can be way too high.

 

i am very sorry to here this, but maybe this will help some of those kids that think its cool to slide around corners, not saying thats what your bother was doing, but i hope he pulls through, it would be sad to see any rex driver cut down in his prime.

-my thoughts go out to your family

Any more news?
