OK heres the deal. I figure it never hurts to be blunt, honest and straight up so...
I am at a point with drifting where i need that little extra help to get me into more events. I would like to find a shop or company that is looking to do something a little different then the usual 240 or Hachi.... for i have a Miata. Now i know that there really hasnt been many successful Miatas out there, but look at S2000's at first... they were in the same boat, with some determination and a little extra funding, they seem to be doing well, hince Alex. I would also like to say i am NOT just some new drifter asking for free stuff. I have been drifting before i even knew what it was. I have also been driving Miatas for about 4yrs now and know the cars very well. I think i can bring a good name to the sport of drifting and have something new and different. I also love dealing with and talking about drifting to people who dont understand it and have questions. At NOPI i think i did just as much interacting with the crowd as i did with my car on the track.
The biggist help to me would be tires/wheels, entry fees and a few other performance parts for my current 99 Miata which is already well modified. You can read a full list at www.cardomain.com/id/emeraldsport. I have a graphics company already lined up (sponsored my old car, http://www.evolution-autodesign.com/). I also had sponsors with my old car who helped me with some parts, service and entry fees for some events. After i lost my old car, i took some time to re-evaluate my plans about drifting and bought a new Miata and have been working on it privately until i feel comfortable presenting to any shops or potential sponsors. This year has really been about planning and tuning the car to figure out what it will take to advance to the next level.
I also have some older videos of my old car on www.cardomain.com/id/droptopdrifter when it was n/a. I had more videos but a recent computer crash deleted most of them and i am trying to start a new archive with more recent videos.
A few of my accomplishments include:
Winning US Drift Nationals at Lowes Motorspeedway in 2004 (car was natually aspirated at the time with 114rwhp)
Invited to attend the NOPI drift showoff 2004
Appeared in the Mischief V Dynasty video in the drifting section (white miata)
Regular attendence at SouthEast Drift Assosiation practice days
Attend DG Trials events on regular basis
My previous car was a 1996 Miata
and from NOPI Nationals 2004
I hope i have made a positive impression on someone , somewhere out there....even if it means that someone recognizes the car at any event. I am in the preocess of making my own website to showcase my car and other local drifters.
