| Fast week and drift practice |
| Monday, April 7, 2008 |
Time IS really flying sometimes. Went to Irvine a week ago to drive for a some cool Acura photo shots, then spent much of the week doing prep for the 24 hours of Nurburgring as well as various errands like stopping by Brian, John and Auto at CityTireOnline, coolest tire shop in LA, to get for drift tires for the weekend, as well as rolling down to Santa Monica to pick up a set of 18" tires courtesy of German Auto Art.
On Saturday I got new adjustable Hotchkis swaybars on my 350Z "stock drifter" w the help of RMJ Motorsports, to prepare for drift practice Sunday (yesterday) at the Horse Thief Mile, Willow Springs, hosted by 626 drift.
HTM is a really crazy (fun) experience to drift on, I am bascially going through a "crash course" in drifting and it's really rewarding to find that my car seems to be up to the task most of the time, so I can drift like I want to. The HTM might be on the border of what this car can do without some more expensive mods, but we'll see... I really look forward to the 2nd round of Federal Top Drift Cup in three weeks.Labels: Drifting, Misc, Precision driving, Racing |
