I went drifting this past weekend. It felt so good to be able to clutch kick and make loud noises again.

The Midwest Drift Union held it's opening event at the Sportsdrome in Clarksville, IN. We left from Traverse City, MI on Friday morning to drive through 12 hours of rain.



The day of the event kicked ass. The skies were still overcast, it was cold, but no rain. Tires lasted forever that day.

I ended up qualifying 5th and destroying my bumper into a thousand billion pieces in the same process.


I got tied up against Peter Chriskopoulos in Top 16 and fucked up pretty hard on the lead. I only ended up moving forward in the competition because he blew up a half-shaft leading. Still rolling with it, I placed against Cody Toby in Top 8 and had an intense showdown. I got absolutely no pictures of this run, but from memory, it was pretty rad. I somehow knocked Cody out and went on against Tyson Schmidt in his LS2 S13 monster from hell in top 4.




Tyson ended up killing everything in his path and won the event. I gave him a good fight though, had a one more time against him. I walked away with 3rd place from the event and feel pretty good about it. Now all I gotta do is hold onto it and I'll see some of you guys in cali in October.

Edit: NO STAR BASH is next event. Ima stuff your shit in Leigh.

Risky Devil!
You all ruined drifting. All the fucking forieners and thier influance on it fucked it like a hammered bag of assholes. The whole point was to make it the worst handeling, eye catching machine possable and then make it fly.  The skill was controling the beats not fucking auto pilot.

Your all going to Hell.

Is that a good or bad thing?





This past memorial weekend I went out to Shawano, WI to do a bit of drifting at the No Star Bash. This was my second time going there, this time around I went through the Michigan U.P. instead of driving through Chicago. I've lived in Michigan for quite a while and never drove through there during a nice summer day. It's insanely beautiful up there. Not much up there, and that's exactly the point. I have no pictures of the trip because I wasn't stopping anywhere. If you haven't driven U.S. 2, do it before you die.

I made it to the track on Friday night to hang out and bullshit with whomever else was there. Stuntman was the first person I saw there, then Keith, then more and more. Sometime by 2 am Leigh Roto and the Breaking dudes from Fort Wayne show up.  They claimed a lifted stage as camp grounds and built Castle de' Breaking. Leigh was kind enough to offer me a hotel room in his tent, so it got all hot and bothersome in there.

Saturday rolled in drifting and more familiar faces. After a few runs figuring out air leaks, I blop on a GOPro and go out. I managed to drive for a few laps before rain hit and closed the track for the day. (The run where the Maita spins infront of me in the last drifting of day 1) Since the weather crapped on us, and everyone was planning on sleeping at the track anyways, the environment became a perfect place to breed new found relationships with other people that love the same thing. Matt Petty would be crying about how this point IS the sole reason drifting is awesome. It's true, I miss the fuck out of you guys already. <3

Day 2 happened and I shattered my second clutch in 4 events. Super sad panda. However, I feel great about the runs I did get on US Air and feel confident enough to be a solid competitor at MDU RD. 2. Just gotta get a new clutch.

Video and stuff
