About me and what I do

I drive a 1995 Nissan 240sx, otherwise known as an S14 (Mine is white).
I have been drifting for about 5 years now, and have learned alot in that time.

Drifting for me is a passion, one of those things that never gets boring, its always exciting and different. The thrill of flying around a corner, tires complaining, cloud of smoke behind you and its such an adrenaline rush that once you do it, or ride with someone it gets into your blood. Drifting is not a cheap sport or an "easy" sport to get into. While there are ways to make it cheap and easy, the basic principle is you need a rear wheel drive car, a good suspension setup and a lot of practice. It also helps to find people who are into drifting and hang out with them and learn from them.

I am part of a car club known as Touge Spec. We are a mixed group that also does Rally, AutoCross and drag racing. We started as just a group of guys that love to take some winding mountain roads at a fast pace and really hammer into it. We evolved into a group of close friends who love driving period.

This weekend we are driving as a club in the Hillsboro 4th of July parade to show the communty what we are all about, and that yes we can go slow too. :)
