The Car and a Bit About Me
Hey all,
This will be my first official blog on word press! I actually came across this through my sociology professors website, and thought it was a neat and easy blog. I’m online like 40% of the day (if I’m not working or driving or working on something).
I’ll be using this blog primarily to keep people updated on things in my life (if they care to take a gander). A lot of it will be for the uploading and my thoughts on events and mods that are related to my car during my pursuit of driving competitively in the future.
I’ve been driving RWD cars off and on for about 6years now and have had my share of learning experiences.
The car i’m using now is a 1995 Nissan 240sx Se. )

and a whole bunch of other misc. stuff i don’t feel like typing right now.
I’ve been to a few track events with the car so far, and hopefully many others in the next year.
Drift Day West coast Pro-Am (El toro)
Thunder drift October (Thunderhill raceway)
Ziptied All Star Bash 2 (Willow springs International raceway)
Thunder drift November (Thunderhill raceway)
Each event has provided me with a new goal to achieve. It’s kind of weird that after every event I’ve got to redo this or that on my car. I guess thats the case when doing something so demanding of a machine and a person. It’s only a matter of time before you have to sit down and redo the whole machine and rest your mind to gain a clear mindset.
I’ve posted a video from the Thunder drift November event (thanks to Boris for editing and compiling it).
Hopefully for next year I can get a tire and Aero sponsor. Until then I’ll be hitting whatever events I an afford and get exposure and seat time.
