Randomly during the year, Just Drift and BH (brian harte) host a 2 day event at WSIR in the lovely Rosamond desert called ALL STAR BASH. It’s the least serious event in drifting, fun, food, nighttime sleep over party with 100 people, games, wii, dirtbikes, and oh yeah, drifting. This was my 3rd all star bash, kids came from the NW, Colorado, Utah, Mexico, and Florida for this one! Awesome! Some broad even came from Australia. We ran balcony the first day, and Horse Theif Mile the second day. fun fun fun!

After NJ FD, i had a chance to go hang out with New Hampshire gang for a few days, super-relaxing-fun time, all the time!

The Tuerck’s have the funnest house ever, pool, harleys, they have a FIRE POLE that goes from the 2nd floor into the basement! NH is beautiful, the lakes, and small roads, and tree canopies are amazing. All we did was kick it, ride motorbikes, hop in the pool, bbq, ride the fire pole, and got some tattoo work done by dave(edge). House party at the house the first night, tons of fun and food, and everybody dropping R’s.

Philly to NH flight takes about an hour and ten minutes, awesome~~~~~!!!

Went to spyglass tattoo, and had a bitchin soda, its sooo good.

Kate says this soda is number one! She wears pretty flowers in her hair.

Ok,

I am a blog slacker. I’ve been meaning to report on all the fun things that happened since we left off. It’s been such a daunting task, because there is so much to tell, that I’ve been procrastinating getting started. That stops now! I want to get this info out to everyone in the electronic wonderland that is the internet, so i’ve decided that i’ll be doing 10 min blog entries, and more and more of them. Here goes!

FD NJ

Formula D NJ was great, as you may know, i hadn’t made top 16 at the first 2 FD events, and that was not part of our plan for 2008. We were very disappointed after the Atlanta event, and worked really hard on the Rx-8, making major suspension changes, to make the car fast, and to make it smoke! John at JIC, and Kevin “the wizard” Wells, both had a hand in changing the car before FD, and we went into the event with high hopes!

The track was HUGE, 4th gear clutch kick entries, to a giant link, and then power through in 3rd gear. It took a day to figure out gearing, and spring rates that would let the car get around the course properly. We qualified like 5th on the Friday, and felt pretty good, scores were higher than they’ve been recently. Saturday found us feeling good, and driving hard. I would post up a 92.5 for top 16, which placed me 12th! woo hoo! All 4 DA guys made the top 16 for the first time ever, and in front of a massive hometown crowd. I had to run the JIC’/Hankook rocketship that they have stuck a Porsche badge on, consistently the fastest car at the track, I just went for broke from the get go. After the first set of runs, i was up 12-11, and we had to run a one more time. We w0und up hitting the clip, and Tyler advanced to Top8. All in all, a very successful weekend, and leaves us wanting more from Las Vegas. After the event, i was able to head to New Hampshire for a few days of fun with the Tuercks, and we screened the DA DVD for a packed house in Philly, which was lots of fun. Both of those blogs to come!
