Latest Video of my Turbo'd Drift Car

I'm not sure who shot this but he was nice enough to put a few of my runs together with some cool music to boot. Many thanks to the mystery camera-man. The shots are from the Elite Summer Nationals in Spartanburg, SC back in August. Unfortunately he did get any of the tandem runs from the competition where we run head-to-head with another car but the solo practice and qualifying runs are fun too. We were fortunate enough to win the competition that day so that was icing on the cake...

Hey Doug,

Good to see you on the forum. Man you were killing it, the car looks and sounds great! Any plans to come out to Cali again?

It is a really fun car to drive and it has been a great learning experience building it up from a completely stock street car.
BTW, it's For Sale.... after two last events this year at VIR and Barrett-Jackson, Las Vegas that is.... Plans are to lease it out for next year or sell it outright as I'm working on putting together a new chassis...

I appreciate it!!! Yeah we were pretty good that week down in So, Carolina. We were the #1 qualifier and were fortunate enough to get through the tandem rounds without any mistakes on my part

As for Calif..... man I really wanted to get out there this year but we have still not been able to put any monetary sponsorship deals together and (like most people) my pockets are only so deep. We're doing more "demo's" this year and the Formula Drift series is getting more notoriety and TV coverage all the time so maybe we'll find someone to jump on board soon. We have managed to become "the big fish in the little pond" out here on the East Coast and I'm very proud of that but I'd really like to be able to do more of the national events...

Are you going to be at SEMA? If so I'll stop by and say Hey! I'll be there all week.

Keep doing what you do, someone will jump on board. Can't wait to see the new chassis. I wont be at SEMA this year, I drew the short straw and have to hold down the fort this year.
