It Been Some Time Know

Well its been some time since my last update. Well as of two weeks ago I started a new job and after four week of not having a computer I'm back. My car is good shap for the most part unfortunely someone tryed to cut my rear brake lines and ended up just cuting half way thru so I got new braided stainless brake lines for the rear.

Unfortunely I didnt make it to I.A. even thought I was offered a spot for drifting and a place to stay, but it was at last minute so I couldn't go.

As for the next Event I will be attending, it will be another DriftIdy Rage Event next Fiday. So I'll see you there and I will also be attending MDU Round 3 in Tennessee but I will be runing a 205/50/15 instead of a 195/65/15 which should help me out a little with this high speed track.

Next Weekends Events

Next Friday July 8 Drift Indy Rage Three at Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis in the parking lot from 4pm to midnight and on Saturday July 9 right next to the parking lot on the oval track Midwest Drift Union Round Three at noon.

Clutch

So I decided to work on the car a little this weekend seeing that DriftIndy Rage and Midwest Drift Union Round 3 are next weekend. I got the transmission off and the clutch was fucked.

New Clutch

Also

I got new side skirts and re-did my front lip with plaid duct tape.

This was Friday morning.

Drift Indy Rage 2

Let me start out by saying  DriftIndy Rage 2 was a blast! My friend Jimmy let me use his trailer to pull my car to the event so I did not have to worry about my car messing up. With that being said, I had a little too much fun taping walls, by the end of the night I tap the wall nine times. Which was fun, but now I have to pull my quarter panels out and need to get new taillights and that trim piece. I dont think I'll be taping walls as much! I also had my clutch go but I can't complain its stock with 107,000 miles on it and I've been drifting this clutch for the last year and I'm not nice to it.

One the way up

Updates

Well it's been some time since my last update on what is going on with TDiddy Drifting and its been crazy busy! Well I ended up not going to Road Atlanta, my ride bailed on me at the last minute, but I did catch some of it on drift stream. I give props to my friends Mike Feiock and Mike Skudlarek.

On Friday the 13th Drift Indy was back and had a small space in the O'Relly Race Way Park parking lot. I have to say it was a lot of fun just burning off tires, supposely there was a layout, but I didn't know what it was so, I just had fun taping walls and making lots of smoke (ka smoke).

I did hear that the next Drift Indy Event will have a bigger space so maybe even some third gear (keep your fingers crossed). As for Midwest Drift Union Round 2 it was cold, wet, and windy. I did good in pratice and was happy with the track but it dryed up right before qualfing and I only got two pratice laps before qualfing and ended up spinning both times, but I did not spin on my qualfing laps but still didn't have enough to qualfy in the top eight. I didn't have any car problems untill the drive home.  My exhaust kept falling off and I had to jimmy-rigged it with zip ties and wire. I also got a little hole in my radiator so I had some over heating issues. I have to thank Josh from Team One Way for stopping on the side of the highway to help me fix my car. I got my exhaust fixed and it's even a little bit quieter, so it won't be so bad on long drives to tracks. I still need to fix the leak in my cooling system.

The Month of May

As most people know the month of May ia a big thing in Indiana. As it will be for me too, I have made plans to go the the first Drift Indy Event of 2011. Its going to be at Lucas Oil Raceway (aka IRP). This is just a fun day but its Drift Indy, so if the drifting sucks there is alwas an afterparty that's dop. I am also planing on going to Autocity. I went to this track last year and wrecked, so this year i'm going allout.  Plus I have just enough power to do this track.

The drift Indy event is May 13 you can find all the information at http://mdudrift.com/forum/index.php?topic=5988.0

The Midwest Drift Union Round 2 is May 15 and you can find all the information at http://mdudrift.com/forum/index.php?topic=5926.0

I my also go to other events in May and if I do I will be sure to let you know, but as of right now these are the only events that I know for sure.

Road Trip

Went to Ohio with the 240 last weekend. The car ran great.

I stop by my friend Cody's house, he had just painted and installed his BN blister aero.

Looks lower then it is.

I crashed at my friends place in Lima. Liam has a huge auto school so lots of car enthusiast. That sc300 has a 1jz, the white hatch has a rb20, and that blue thing. My friend Jelani is building a 1j s14, full track car. We also finely installed my front main seal (no more leaks) and a fan switch so I don't have to pop my hood everytime I turn them one.

In Ohio looking at Indiana Sunday night on the drive home.
