holy it's been a while since I posted anything up, been so busy with work, life, and honestly drifting. The last few weeks have been crazy.
Well Drift Squad is back from a little hiatus, and were back and ready to rock 2010, new everything for us, it feel's good to be a unit again.
Last weekend was round 3 of DMCC Pro-Am competition and man did we have a strong showing. By the end of it, we had the crowd yelling out "Drift Squad". Getting our name out there and thats all that matters.
The track out in Edmonton is so good compared to Race City in Calgary. Bought some fresh 595's to rip on, and am I ever glad I did that. Well as practice went on, I was having such a blast, clipping the second point almost every run, like making it jump, or sway, crowd was feeling it, judges were feeling it, I was feeling it.
Qualifying started, and I ended up qualifying 9th.. out of 32!!! holy, I made it into top 16. I met my goal of just qualifying. Well I was put up against a Mustang, and was pretty nervous as it was my first battle match ever. Mustang threw down a solid run, and on my run, I went harder than qualifying, and it paid off. I made it into the great 8!!!! Holy so pumped!
Well after some technicalities with the tree, and the battles, I was matched up with the 1st place qualifier, I knew I'd have to go balls out if I was gonna advance to top 4, well he threw down a solid first run from what I could see and I knew I was gonna have to do something.
On my run decided to go a lot faster than I was doing all weekend, and unfortunately I straightened out mid-drift, right there I knew it was done.. 8th place 3rd competition for me? I'll take what I get right now hahah
Cody ended up on the podium in 3rd place, and Jack in his new cresta finished 5th. Drift Squad in the top 8? fucking awesome.
And then onto practice last night, oh man I loved it. Had some professional photogs out shooting us, and Jason who is pretty much a pro out too. Linked the whole course all night, got applauds from everyone, throwin up thumbs up and peace signs mid course full lock.. fuck it was a good night. Took Jason out on a run and was flawless, took Jack's gf out and she said I was bettter than bones hahahahaha jk, and took out Mikes friend for her first ride ever, and she loved it. I'm so happy I'm at the point where I'm consistent, can put on a good show, and have other people in the car feeling what it really feels like on the inside.. FUCK YEAH!!!!!!
PICS!!!
