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.

[alex_kors]

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.
