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 7^th 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… Read More

Haunted Moves was the last Club Loose drift event of the year.  The theme of the event was due to it being near Halloween.  The event turnout was really good and this was the first event that we ran the road course backwards.  We have ran the back course backwards but the front course normally is run starting from the back and coming towards the bank.  This time we linked the courses backwards starting on the back course then coming onto the back and finishing down the course into the downhill increasing radius, which is normally an uphill decreasing radius turn.  It was cool to drive a different way on the course we like.  It was a needed… Read More

D1GP visited Englishtown this past weekend for the final round of the series.  Friday was pre-qualifying/driver's search for all of the non seeded D1 drivers.  It was crunch time all week to get my stuff ready and get all the things done I needed to get done for the weekend.  This was my first pro. drifting event and the first event out of the local scene.  My goal going into the event was to qualify and be able to drive Saturday for the pro. qualifying.
When Friday came around I was ready to drive.  My practice session was not great driving wise but I figured out what I needed to fix for qualifying from talking to some guys; and was… Read More

Club Loose has had yet another successful road course event.  The event went along smoothly with drivers from all classes A, B, and C driving again.  A group drivers were on the track alone and were allowed to hot lap the front and back courses. B and C group drivers went out together and B group would be driving the front course with C group driving the back course.  As some of the other summer events have shown the hot weather does not provide the best conditions for doing hot laps but we made the best, just have to let the cars cool down.
This was the third points event in the so-rad series.  Matt and Tim decided for this contest… Read More

East Coast Bash 3 kicked off on Saturday 7-11-09.  Another awesome day on the road course, and another hot day for cars and drivers.  This was the second event for drivers to earn points towards the so-rad competition.  The competition for this started midway through the day.  It was an early entry competition into the first and fastest turn on the track; which personally is my favorite turn on the course.  Results will be posted when they become available.  Check back for media and standings updates!
