Next Event

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

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).

The shocks in the Corolla have been fighting a losing battle every since I bought the car. They finally gave out at the Elite Summer Nationals event.

Elite Drift Challenge ‘08 Recap

Posted 15 Aug 2008 in Drift Events, Drift411

Boy am I glad that’s over.

This was our, Drift411, first and only event of the year. I had forgotten how much work is involved with organizing these things. But also realized I don’t miss it in the least. However, it was still fun. The weather was much better than last year’s inferno and there was some insane tandem battles during the Top 8. Most notably would be the Andy/Marty battle which was ultimately given to Andy. All in all… it went smoothly. I’d like to thank EVERYONE who came out. More specifically, all the drivers, Marty for helping with Tech, David Adams for covering the Mic duties during the award ceremony, Dan and Anthony (aka LIghtning) for the tireless efforts with cone chasing, and certainly all the spectators. But the biggest thank you goes out to Holly of Elite. In all seriousness, this event wouldn’t have gone down if it wasn’t for her and her partner in crime; Steven. Thank you guys!!!! BTW… we still owe each other drinks.

So here are some pictures, but feel free to check out Amanda’s post. She goes into more detail about the event itself.

AM drivers meeting

Throughout the weekend, we ended up eating dinner at Fat’s twice. It was within walking distance so convenience superseded desire.

Tony Pants at Fat’s

Oh… so you decide to wake up for food?! I see how it is.

Chad bought us a round of Alambama Slammers. Delicious.

The next event is a private day hosted by Southeast Drift next saturday (Aug 23rd) which will be held at Turner Field. I’d really like to attend, but may not. Amanda and I can get a great deal on Bristol Tickets that same weekend. So if can gather up enough extra money, we’ll be heading to Bristol. Other wise… we will be Turner Field bound.
