This was “the Driver appreciation/get back in the saddle/give drifting a shot/I just want to have fun/fuck you i’m drifting discount” event, according to Clubloose.com. The discount for this event was given to “help out all the dudes busting their ass to make it out to events and all the dudes who wasted a bunch of time and money building a car and to motivate the dudes who just haven’t been able to get out to events and to make it easier for the dudes on the fence to get serious and give drifting a shot.”
I took full advantage of the discount and enjoyed the lighter fee for this event. As is the case for every Clubloose event, this one was awesome and proved to be a great day of drifting!
As you can see by the photo up above, taken by Mike Griffith, there were some serious bank moments at this event! Even more so, the tandem runs I was involved went really well, too!
Need some visuals to catch my drift? (Ha!) Here’s some Hot Moves 2010 Media:
Summer Moves was hosted by Clubloose and took place on July 31st, 2010 – a beautiful Summer day for drifting. I participated in the event and had an awesome time.
As always, Clubloose put together a great event with a lot of seat time for drivers! Check out the Clubloose Summer Moves Forum Thread here for more details and comments about the event: Summer Moves 2010 Clubloose Forum Thread
The Wrecked Moves 2010 Drifting Event was perfectly described in short by WreckedMagazine.com:
“The guys at Clubloose threw a great event this past weekend called “Wrecked Moves” which featured everyone in the northeast doing battle in the HEAT at Englishtown. The winner was promised a very special feature in Wrecked Magazine which would be selected by the drivers/staff from Clubloose. The winner was Justin Tuerck (the older brother of Ryan Tuerck)…”
East Coast Bash was the first event of the season for me. I had issues with the bay, yes I do mean body of water, at the beginning of the year but R/T Tuning helped me get everything sorted out just in time for East Coast Bash 2010. After getting the car finished up the morning of East Coast Bash, complete with harnesses and seats, the car felt awesome. Petty, Tim and everyone that helped plan Club Loose’s 2010 East Coast Bash really made the event incredible. The track and the Beer Garden bar were awesome too!
Also, thanks to Chris Forsberg and Vaughn Gittin JR for promoting the event. We had a great turnout both driver and fan wise for the East Coast Bash 2010 event. It was great to have guys come from out of the tri-state area and get some new guys out on the track as well.
I had a really great time driving with everyone again and already can’t wait for the next event!

2010 East Coast Bash Drifting Event Specs
East Coast Bash 2010 presented by Club Loose, started on Saturday, May 29, 2010 at 9:00am and ended on Sunday, May 30, 2010 at 6:00pm. This east coast drifting event at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ took place on the Road Course and was a complete success!
2009 was a great season. This was my first year drifting since 2005. I think that it was a successful season overall. I attended all of the Club Loose road course events, qualified 7th for the D1 driver’s search and headed to VIR for an awesome three day weekend of drifting with everyone. This was my first year driving tandem and it took a few events before I was really comfortable. The event that I really felt like I started to be comfortable was the event before VIR. That was key because at VIR there was a team tandem competition and I was on an unfamiliar track. The team tandem competition was one of my favorite things about the season. I also noticed looking back at some videos I can tell where I was more standoffish in the beginning of the season with tandem and more comfortable towards the middle to end.
During the off season I have a list of things that I need to do or add to my car. Some of the most important things are an oil and power steering cooler setup. Without these it puts a big stress and unnecessary risk on parts, and is very hard to run without stopping to let the car cool down. Those are the only two engine related things that need to be done over the winter. For suspension and steering I will be swapping out my stock knuckles for a set of modified ones to increase angle. Also I will brace the lower control arms and the front tension rod bracket. For appearance I will be fixing the minor body damage from the season and adding a body kit. Not sure what kit yet but the car will most likely be staying red. Thanks to everyone that helped me during the season and thanks to Rob at CCP. I look forward to next season as I have set my goals higher and also look forward to driving with everyone again.
