How is everyone!?

IT has been a LONG time since a real update to this thread. Let's get everyone up to speed.

Last season, I ran a lot of around town and local midwest 'fun' events and competed in half of the Midwest Drift Union series. In August I started law school. Then, coupled with an awesome, now 15th month old daughter, I have almost no time. That's what summer is for!

At any rate, the season ended abruptly at Midwest Drift Union in Kansas. I drove my way into the top 4. However, I could not compete for the podium. After a victory to push me into the top 4, the car developed a rod knock....AGAIN. I shut the engine off, called it a day, called it a season, and cheered on my best friends.

I have priced out may different options and have yet to pull the trigger. I tossed around the idea of parting the car out and taking a break for a while.

In the beginning of May, the car will make its comeback!

With another Toyota JZ engine, of course.

Enjoy the pictures everyone.

Take care!

This is a video my great friend Jay made with his Nokia Lumia cell phone... also my main pit crew at all events we go to.

We did a cool and simple vinyl setup. The car looked great last year!


Love this shot.
Gateway parking lot event.


Gateway last year.

Fun track in Iowa we drove for MDU.
The car had ALL sorts of gliches we had to work out for this event, but once fixed, it ran awesome.

Kansas, the last event of the year for me. The track is a giant skidpad. We were getting about 2 runs per set of tires!

The awesome community of MDU.
Can also see the custom fire suit that was made for me by Axcel. It is an awesome suit and fits me perfectly.

So long for now everyone.
