This is what our house looked like at 1am this morning. Being from Charleston, SC Ive never seen this much snow in my life. So far we have about 4 inches and are expected at least another 3 by the end of the weekend. Snowball war will ensue.

Tribute to Muscle rocked my socks.

This past weekend Amanda and I made our way to Holy Springs, MS for Traction Optionals “Tribute To Muscle” practice event. We, Drift411, provided the insurance for the event so my roll was to stand in as more of a safety stewart, thus, the Corolla sat this one out.

Although we had the weekend all planned out and were ready for the trip, work threw a monkey wrench into our plans. SEMA is this week so I had to spend a few extra hours at work Friday night to help get everything ready for the XS Power SEMA booth. By the time I was finished it 10pm Friday night. The TO event was slated to start at 6am the next morning. So we ened up driving all night to get there in time. We finally arrived at Jerry and Michelle’s place at 5am where I was able to catch about 30mins of sleep. It didn’t help much though since I was all doped up on energy drinks and candy. Never the less, it was worth it. The Traction Optional crew made my job very easy and put together a great event at a great venue. As a matter fact, they did so well, the venue owner was extremely impressed by how well organized the event was and how professional everyone was. He ultimately gave them an open invitation to return anytime they wanted. And he would cover them under the venue’s track insurance! With the closing of Memphis Motorsports Park, this is a HUGE relief to the TO drivers and crew. Congrats fellas!

All in all we had a great time. The weather was perfect. The venue was perfect. Everything just flowed. Im really looking forward to going back. Hopefully with the Corolla this time.

Ive included a small gallery of pictures that I took below. But you can catch a whole slew of pics on the TO Forum.
