Damnit, I couldn't go. I got stuock at work really late and knocked out when I got home, when I woke up I had a pounding headache and went back to bed after taking some advil and slept till 12:30 I was so exhausted.

I hope you guys are having fun! And sorry for taken up a space and doing a no show, I am usually not that flaky.

Recap:

Brandon gallantly attempted for the Advanced class, but since he was rollin on his stock 17s, the Superpowers of the Work Meisters weren't there! Only until did he bust a tire on his front 17" did he realize the tru meaning of Meister, so he went home, got on his bling shoes and drifted the rest of the day on his DAILY tires that's the spirit. then the bad *** brandon drift came out of hiding and he got sideways gracefully.

Anthony (daytona) drifted magnificently. He went through the course drifting and transitioning the drifts very well. i was wow! for his fourth time, that's bad azzz.

I had a hard time. I'm used to road course, but i was like what the heck. i'll give it a wack. My car UNDERSTEERS like a *****, but then again, i had the suspension setting to stiff up front and stiff rear.. All i had to do was get on the throttle and the back end just rotated so easily.... very easy to control, once i got the hang of it.. I spent the majority of the day doing donuts , figure 8s, and the mini track for beginners.

I had my pro friends drive the car and man, its actually pretty good drift car!!!

then i let Brandon and Anthony drive it. AHAHAH. well. lets just put it this way, they're not used to the HP yet.. give em some time! i had fun chunking up my brand new toyos on my LMgt4s... i'll post picts and video up soon, need to recoop.


oh yea. for those who want to Join Club Bob, please PM me or Brandon

Any of you guys start drifting in another car before your Z? Just wondering what differences you've noticed drifting the Z vs. ____ . I've got a base model Z that I plan to take to DD eventually but for now I just use my S14 to learn on. I noticed there were more Z's at DD27. Very tempted to take the Z but i'll wait till i'm better.

Z is extremely easy to drift, to be honest im worried i wont be able to do a thing in another car, im gonna try to drive other cars more because i think the experience could be helpful.

Glad you liked them... Next time I will be closer to the action I promise and consequently will get much better pics... Shooting through chain link fence from 100 meters isnt nearly as nice as when I am closer to the action...

Nice to meet all of you guys again. And thanks for the power steering fluid tip... I hadnt known about it till I saw it it bubbling in the overfill... sounds like its time for Redline... might even have to get some water wetter just to make things more comfy for the car...

So who's was the red Z with what looks like the new Stillen hood laying down all the rubber?

EDIT: Looks like the old Stillen 'power cowl' with a Cwest bumper...

That's Timo.. he used to have the silverstone Z with the Stillen blower and 19" polished CE28's that he totalled at the Driftshowoff a few months back... he then transferred all the goodies onto a brand new redline base model which is a track only car nice huh?
