I was asked by Formula Drift and Motormavens to display some local drift cars and promote FD Proam at the 11th hour at this weekends IRL race at Texas Motor Speedway, literally just before race day. *Censored*I made some quick calls and people jumped to attention when they heard Motormavens was going to shoot some cars, and we were underway. *Censored*Kenda had already sent me this awesome tent, Aaren provided a flat screen TV to go with my audio setup, and everyone provided some sweet cars to pimp our series. *Censored*With 80k potential race fans running around the venue, or some crazy number like that because I don't know how many there actually were, we started kissing hands and shaking babies! *Censored*It was hot as balls but we talked to the most awesome rednecks you have ever heard say the word "tit-ays", and learned mustangs are like crack to these people. *Censored*Stew recently built up his old S14 to be sold to a gentleman named Seth, who is going to start bringing it to Mineral Wells to drift. *Censored*Russell brought out his STI, which is now up and driving around. *Censored*The Essence boys brought out their low riders, Aaren the Mustang, Aubre the super clean S14, Sy brought his 5D mkii, and I drug out my S13. *Censored*We got to see some FD drifting at TMS, we had the chance to watch IRL racing, and we talked to tons of fans who actually had heard of our drifting at Mineral Wells and GGP! *Censored*Check out the pictures : )
