Drifting at Miller Motorsports Park

Finally time to drift again. Unfortunately neither of my cars are set-up to drift right now so I didn't drive. But that means more pictures for you.
This event was put on by Trackside Drift with a lot of help from drivers at driftutah.net.

A lil' snow on the track never hurt anyone.

I love this pic but I am so mad that I didn't get the focus. Ggggrrr....
I'm in Mikey's car during some tandem against Yasha.

Slacking

I have been slacking on the photos and the posting. Sorry. I bought the little red 240SX in the pictures below and have been trying to turn it into my new drift car.
I thought I had better get a different car to drift because I have already ruined 2nd gear, a clutch and flywheel in the RX8. Even with the warranty I will end up paying about $1500. And the new 240SX only cost $1000 to buy. Ha-ha.
I think it is almost ready to slide now. It still has a few bugs to work out. I am going to give it a go this Friday at Rocky Mountain Raceway for their Midnight Drift series that's sponsored by Drift Enterprise. I am also the photographer for Drift enterprise. If your local you should come watch and I'll take you for a slide around the track.

Drift Day!

We had the first official event of the season at Miller Motorsports Park, hosted by Drift Enterprise. And they have been kind enough to make me their official photographer for their official events. Thanks DE!

It was a hard day for so many cones.

My last set of tires.

You will want to look at this one bigger. Mikey is throwing sparks.

Drifting!

We had a bunch of paved acreage, tire and some cones. But what else do you really need to have a good time.

A few posts ago when I shouted, "'Tis the season!" I had a lot of seasons in mind. Not only do I get to drive on sand at the Dunes and rock at the Moab, but I also get to drive sideways on asphalt!

It's drift season again!!!

Our first event for the season was at Miller Motorsports Park in Grantsville Utah. They let us slide around in the parking lot till the dust of burnt tires was thick on my dash board.

We have several more events this year, mainly put on by Drift Enterprise, our local drift gig heroes. Click on their name to see the schedule for the year. Pick an event and come join us for some drifting. I'll take you for a ride around the track.

And if you need more pics of the event you can see all the cars from all the angles here at DriftUtah.com, our local forum.

This is what my stock RX-8 looks like going sideways. It is possible, just very hard.
I made brandon run it around the track for me so I could get some photo proof that they will slide.

This is a big day in the lives of all of my cars. The first destroyed set of tires.
He's getting so big.

I found one more zipper then anyone else.

Don't worry, it happens to Josh every event.

Mikebiker.

My very furry helmet.

Brandon hard at work.

If I were to stand on my car and take a picture this is what it would look like.
But why would I do that?
