DMCC Round 1

This weekend was a blast!!! The weather was beyond amazing, the driving was unreal, Drift Squad was doing pretty good, and the atmosphere of everyone around was awesome.

The event seemed to go off without a hitch, it was pretty well organized, and it felt really good to be part of the ever growing drift scene out here in the west. The turnout was good too, NOS was out all weekend, giving away free NOS. I was hopped up on 2 Redbulls, and 3 or 4 cans of NOS on saturday hahaha.

Well the morning started with meeting Cody at the carwash real quick to spray my car down, then to the flying J to meet up with 3rd member Jack. Filled up with some of that premium, and some RedBull and we were off to the track. Got in no hitch, and since we were early we got our paddocks on the track, made it so easy. Went thru tech without a hitch, and before I knew it, we were in the drivers meeting and Tony Angelo from Drift Alliance was showing us the track layout. This year the bank was mandatory for us Am's, I was beyond intimated as I've never even attempted the bank. Outer clipping point was the wall, right into the second clipping point into the infield, and a horse shoe from there. Track was pretty technical especially with the bank added to it all.

After a run or two I said "fuck it" and decided to get as close to the wall as I possibly could. I was having problems with my Powersteering pump coming loose and dropping so mid-drift I would lose powersteering and get shot straight, was pretty scary, but because of that I lost a lot of seat time, fixing it, and finally I put a locking bolt on the adjuster haha.

Well practice came and went, and then it was time for qualifying, unfortunately, I couldn't keep my lines clean, I span the first run, and the second run I got real close to the wall, but I hit the infield transition straight on, and it just shot me straight inbetween the cones. That was the end of my day..

All in all, Jack C aka Bonez came in 3rd!! Representing hard for Drift Squad. The next event is in Edmonton next month, hopefully there, the course will be a little easier, and I'll get all my kinks sorted out. Practice tomorrow night.. Just need that seat time right??

I'll shoot up pics as soon as I find some!
