A couple nights ago a good friend of mine, Sy Pham, went out and snapped some photos of Stewart Leask’s 2012 XDC competition car. WFSU is very proud to have him representing us on his car this season! Stewart has been on the podium back to back at rounds 1 and 2 at Arizona and is looking to go 3 for 3 in Orlando, FL this coming weekend. If you’re in the area, be sure to head out to Central Florida Racing Complex on May 20th and cheer Stewart on!
Mounted some wheels up to the Skyline this weekend. Next weekend the suspension arms and rear subframe go in and it’ll be ready for the track!
The weekend before last marked the beginning of the 2012 Lone Star Drift series. This series, put on by Fabricated Motorsports, is a pro-am series for the professional Formula Drift circuit. At the end of the series, the points leaders will obtain a Formula Drift license allowing them the chance to compete with the professionals.
On our way down to Houston, more and more drivers were registering and before we knew it, there were something like 60 drivers ready to tear up the parking lot of Gulf Greyhound Park. In addition to the drivers, this event also attracted around 1,000 spectators! Though an amazing turnout, this posed a potential problem of us being shorthanded to smoothly run everything.
Knowing that we had our hands full for the day, I gladly volunteered to help out at the front gate operating the iPad as the credit card machine.
These are two cars that happen to catch my eye while driving through the gate. Luckily, everyone was paying cash, so I could grab my camera and take a few photos!
After spending the majority of the day with Erin at the gate, it was time for qualifying and the main competition. I set the iPad down, grabbed the 7d, put on my very fashionable orange vest, and hit the track.
I’ve been up and down an all around lately, Just enjoying life away from the internet for awhile. To say it’s been refreshing is an understatement. Here’s a quick one of Adam Schubert’s gorgeous FD,
to get you through the day. More to come in the very near future…
It’s no secret that ever since I traded in my Volkswagen and moved out to Texas, I’ve lost some of my Euro roots and have since been quickly absorbed by the local drift scene. Out of my two best friends here in Texas, one organizes events and one drives in events. I guess it’s only natural that I be involved in some sort of way. (Hence lack of Euro content on the blog haha)
Last year, Aaron Losey of Fabricated Motorsports organized a Formula Drift Pro-Am series called the “Lone Star Series” for local drivers to compete for a chance to earn a Formula Drift license. Now it’s a new year and a new series, so drivers are busting their ass trying to get their cars ready and more competitive.
Here are a couple videos by Aaron showcasing some driver builds to help us get into the 2012 drift season spirit!
