              It was pretty high! haha....I think he just drove up the deck of the tow truck..without needing any kind of ramp or trickery.

                it's definitely really high BUT it drives 1000x better this way, if it wasn't a competition car it would be scraping side skirt on everything.



                i went into this event with the only thing on my mind was smashing the outer bank wall @ d1 years ago. i hadn't been back since. i also had only driven 1 time before this event @ balcony @ a test day for almost 3 years...

                i took it really easy all day and eased my way back into it and Ive never driven that track so well. i have a TON to work on in my driving,esp line/consistency but for me the weekend was a success especially qualifying 7th on Friday. The rest of the season is going to be an amazing experience with my car on the XDC rig.

                saturday i broke some stuff, an axle/the race's for the carrier bearing in the diff were toast and both rear wheel bearings were destroyed. we put in 2 new axles and joon brought down a welded diff. qualifying on saturday didnt go so well i really couldnt feel out the car with the welded. i'll get all that stuff fixed for vegas and be ready to rock.

                this weekend was more fun in drifting than i think ive ever had!!


                i couldnt have done so well or gotten the car prepped in 4 days without everyones help, especially my wife, buisness partner, DA Bro's, Kevin @ LS Auto/CFR, my roommate Nabil, Richard @ R.B Body and Paint and Victor @ Emergency Hooker Towing!...so many people. having such support was amazing.
