Safety first.

This broke while coming out of the sweeper at ESN. Thanks to NSP for letting me borrow a wheel off their show car. And to Chad for letting me use his extra Momo wheel until I can get a new one.
Note to self: Stop buying cheap shit!

UnF-ck The Gulf

BP’s oil spill has really f–ked up the gulf. Birds, fish, dolphins & sea turtles are f–ked. Whole communities are f–ked. Together we can hold big oil accountable. Together we can unf–k the Gulf.

Ken Block’s Gymkhana THREE drops tomorrow. There doesn’t seem to be as much hype around this one. Not sure if thats a good thing or not. I hope he has better luck with the video than he did in WRC Rally Germany this past weekend. …

Cody Wellons’ S13 For Sale in Atlanta

Cody is looking to sell or trade his S13 hatch and move on to a new project. I’d really like to trade for a 1J/2J swapped SC300 with a manual transmission, although I may be interested in other RWD cars as well (350Z, GS300, etc).

All dressed up and now where to go.

Posted 07 Mar 2009 in Drift Events

Im not going to spend too much time writing about this because Im still pretty pissed about it. But as you probably read in my last post, I was planning on attending the SEDC event this weekend in Atlanta. Well, I had everything packed up early Friday afternoon. When I got in the Corolla to leave, the damn thing didn’t start. Long story short, the starter AND the alternator both went out simultaneously. This ultimately left me stuck at home.

My new seat that Chad and I were supposed to install this weekend

The good news, on the other hand, is that I heard the dM’s rep’d well at the event. Final results from today’s (Saturday) D1 Qualifier are still to be confirmed, but rumor has it that Drift Emporium took the top podium.

As of right now, I have two events in the near future that I’d like to attend. One of which is next weekend at Lowe’s Motorspeedway (N.C.). This will be determined how fast I can fix the car. If worse comes to worse, I’ll head up to Souteast Drift’s event in Nashville on April 4th (NSS). Its a little further of a trip, but Amanda and I have some local friends there we need to catch up with anyway. So it’ll be worth while.
