sunday was a very fun day with my car. entered my first drift event with a buddy of mine, matt froese - Cell Block D. WHAT A BLAST! it was so much fun! track was nothin special, an oval with 2 banked turns. the turns were decent size tho. you definately had to maintain the drift. awesome experience. a couple of our friends made it out and were cheerin us on. praise god neither of us crashed. walls were scuffed up from lots of other people gettin nasty already. i came close during my second lap of the day, but after that nothing too crazy. 2 other guys crashed. lots of nice cars there. skylines (r32's, gts-es, and one was a 4 door) were killin it! such amazing driving. couple toyoda 'rollas. an fc with a 1j in it. fun times for sure. car felt great. it rained the whole time but i like slidin in the rain, easier on the rubber/wallet. i ran the 17x9.5's in the rear with fairly fresh rubber. car handled great. mainly stayed in the top of second gear around the corners for sliding. it was nice to have an actual corner that was long and gave you something to aim for. scary cuz of the walls (didn't wanna smash up at my first event) but great cuz you don't gotta worry about on coming drivers/coppers/private property/security. so glad i went. hope i get to go to more.
