Previous Ride: 87 F150 w/302 and 4 speed named "Big Red". Was a custom model with a stripper interior. It was slow but it'd go through anything and was fun to hustle around. It also ran to 175k miles reliably. To this day it's got 200k and still runs.

Drifting Style: I grip, the big MN12 doesn't like to break loose, but I use alot of drift techniques when I grip, like ditch hooking, feint and braking weight shift. The techniques I've learned from reasearching drifting have helped me improve my grip driving. I guess my style would be best described as a common-sense attack: push the car but not to the point of wrecking or shortening the life of the car, or endangering anybody else.

Specialties: Using drift techniuqes to get my heavy MN12 through the corners faster.

Preferred Tracks/Course: I'll take anything at this point, I have nowhwere to practice drifting. But I've got a 5-mile touge spot with around 30 corners just a mile from my home.

Motto: "Stick with God, he'll get you through anything"

Future Plans: Get a 5.0 Mustang for a future touge runner/drifter

Yeah the smoke was definatly blue, but it still was cool to see it out there with all the 240's and the fc
