Do you occasionally race yourself and enjoy reading event recaps from like minded petrolheads? Boy, do I have a tribe for you!

To backtrack a bit- I got my invitation to join drivetribe today, and, after browsing for a while, couldn’t find a tribe dedicated to those who race themselves and do so for the fun of it. Sure, it is great following Loeb and other racing superstars, but it at least as interesting to read how Montegoman competed in autocross in a Mercury. Or how someone else scrapped together a budget to go out and race their car for the very first time.

My tribe, “We like to race” is meant for all of those who race and want to share their stories with like minded people.

There’s just one problem - the tribe needs at least nine members to become visible. This is where you come in - if you’d like to join the tribe, please comment with your name (if you’ve already gotten access. since drivetribe is not publicly available yet, it seems like I can’t add you otherwise) so that I can find and add you. Let’s see what drivetribe is all about and build something fun together!

DT requires FB. FB incompatible with HHFP

Time for a software upgrade? :D
You can always make an FB account just to see what drivetribe is about - you can’t get kinja’d there, for example.

Mine also came in this morning, cool!
Even though my rally post there is similar to the one here on oppo, there are actually two new videos to show just how slow I was in my first ever rally :D

Where did you apply to get such a link?

I signed up for the updates awhile back. I just went to check my email, simply search “drivetribe,” and found that they sent me the code this morning.

Same for me - also signed up for the updates.

The good news is that everyone will get access soon, even if you didn’t sign up for anything previously

Great! Looking forward to reading about your 323GTX adventures. I actually began my career as a co-driver (in a regularity (TSD) rally - no cage needed) in an AWD Mazda 323 as well, that was such a fun car :)

Just clicked register and it apparently needs a code.

I’m wondering if it’s easier for us to just set up a Kinja for this info?

Is there a way for you to invite me?

Some people are giving out access codes on oppo (try here: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/if-anyone-wants-some-drivetribe-invites-ill-stay-awake-1789258162 or here: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/oppositetribe-1789258819 ), but Drivetribe will go public on the 28th of November if you don’t manage to get a code before then.

The thing I already love about drivetribe is that we’ll be able to find the posts of members of this particular small group in one place, which is something not possible on oppo. Also, you can’t get kinja’d if there is no kinja :D

I will likely keep posting a bit on oppo as well, but planning to try and put most of my stuff on drivetribe, and hoping others join in and share their stories as well :)

There are some access codes offered on oppo every once in a while (here: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/if-anyone-wants-some-drivetribe-invites-ill-stay-awake-1789258162 or here: http://oppositelock.kinja.com/oppositetribe-1789258819 ), but Drivetribe will go public on the 28th of November if you don’t manage to get a code before then.

HMMM I’m awfully dedicated to OPPO though. And Kinja isn’t really THAT bad ya know! I kind of like the idea of a kinja blog for amateur racers.

drivetribe can serve as that exact blog, albeit not on kinja :)
oppo likely isn’t going anywhere, so it’ll still be a place to share your content. what I enjoy about drivetribe is that I can actually find and follow the content I am interested in very easily. here, I had somehow missed your posts about a new car and found them by accident yesterday :D

Ahhh, that’s a very fair point!

I’m just excited to get in the car and drive around, I was traveling the last 4 days over the weekend and I didn’t get a chance to drive it at ALL after getting it registered last week. I love the idea of racing a car that no one else is racing, even if it’s just a different body vs the other fox-body’s out there (mustangs).

driving something unique is always cool, especially if your unique car is compatible with parts of a more popular vehicle (as is the case here, from what I understand) :)
otherwise you are in deep trouble once parts are needed - a lesson that was learned when racing a Mazda 323 GTX. If the gearbox gives up in that car, you’re in deep trouble :D

Yeah it’s a huge benefit. I have a unique car that is 100% compatible with spare parts from any junk yard in the area. It’s a very free-ing way to own something “different”.

I may not be able to easily source a tail light or a grille, but the mechanical stuff is EVERYWHERE around here.
