So i was thinking of easier ways to update my blog.. I always take all these pictures but have a hard time getting it on here. I just dont have the time i wish i had…. Anyway, with my crying out of the way here is a new segment im trying out its called Blog 2 Blog… I realize i spend alot of time reading blogs my friends write when i should really be writing my own… But who cares about me anyway? So here is what im gonna do. Every couple weeks i will do Blog 2 Blog and show you the peoples blogs i follow. These are friends i have made and the story involved in me meeting them. I know “blogroll”on the sidebar —->
should be where i go but i have other friends and check other blogs. So for the first installment i give you the blog of Al Lagura….and the story.
When i first got into drifting for serious i got a corolla. I used to troll on Club4AG to find out stuff about the drift car i had. Back then the site was pretty small. While on there i started correspond via email and IM with various dudes who also had corollas. This was like 2002 ish so drifting in the USA was in its infancy. Al was a Cali dude who helped me out on many occasions.Al was ALWAYS getting into trouble on C4AG with the curse filter and calling out initial D fanboys. We finally Met when i made my Journey to Irwindale with Tony and Chris for the FIRST D1 USA… We were tired and cranky and al and I hugged High fived then parted ways. We still stay in contact as much as possible..But here is his how i stay up on whats going on with AL.
Well everyone is yelling at me (J-rod and Dan most recently) to update my blog with the events of ECB 2 as well as the debauchery of Formula D after party. Sadly i havent had the 2+ hours of free time to throw the 900 pictures i took of those weekends up on this computer. So instead of the past lets look to the future. ECB 3 will be July 11th. This past weekend we were at ClubLoose HQ and it was raining hard. So we took the downtime to make a Flyer for this upcoming ECB!. Here is the results of our hard work. Enjoy
So with things being mega shitty around here with the bad news i got yesterday…More soon.. i have been looking for some stuff to take my mind off of it. this video did the job.
I want to say how i love to see Norcal getting some drift events going after alot of trouble they were having with venues and so on.
So the genesis is the talk of the town these days. With Rhys Millen never going to make it look awesome we might have to rely on some more stylish “amatuer” players to make it look like a proper ass kicking machine.
UGH!
Its amazing what some TE37’s, proper ride height and clean paint can do for a car.
If i had to choose i would take the FWD V6 anyday.
Finding time to update this has been really challenging with the start of the drift season and other general time crunches. I just got back from Austin Tejas,where i was judging an FD qualifier. Pics of that to come. In the mean time i want to talk about my van cause i have been trying to mess with it instead of the corolla since i drive the van every day. Here are some pics of the crap that has been done to it lately.. Sorry for the rainy pics. Its gross here.
the door cards original fabric was all beat up and peeling off so i went to the fabric store for some crafting supplies and changed the look in the interior a little.
The exhaust on a minivan never really expects to get real low. So clearance isn’t really a top priority from the factory. After dropping off some parts at my buddies shop CF Performance we got to talking about fixing my exhaust since his entry is pretty bumpy and the van was scraping the exhaust everywhere.
While i was in Austin i had him master-craft me up a custom one using some spare crap he had lying around.. Designed for ULTIMATE in clearance.
He finished it up with SWEET Corvette Tips cause thats the only car he works on. It tucked up real high and is real quiet the only things i really cared about. THANKS CHRIS!
I just wanted to break my silence with some good news for my DA brothers from MD and PA. John Wagner
And Brian Wilkerson
Will both be smoking up those awesome Maxxis tires. It seems after they threw it down at Pro-AM with podium finishes they now rip on maxxis tires. Congrats brothers see yall at East Coast Bash!
