So how much horsepower do you want to pull by the end of this month on the "HOT180"? What are the challenges and up sides of drifting?

[Noelle]

Seeing that we have a couple new members to the Drifting Pretty Program. What are you hopes for them and the new prospective members?

I'm rolling onto the dyno once again tomorrow. I'm hoping for 300hp...we'll see with a new fpr and actuator.

Drifting is probably the most rewarding thing I've done. Its really difficult to learn how, but when you finally "get-it" its something you never forget and its something that makes you smile, even when you're just thinking about it.

The new members and the prospective members the Drifting Pretty Program has are the woman drifters of tomorrow and of course the future of Drifting Pretty. My hope is that with all the resources we can provide for them, they will all learn way quicker and easier than I did and hopefully get out there and start winning drifting events and keep on beating the stereotypes of "stupid girl drivers" "drifting is for guys" etc etc. I wish them the best of luck and I'll be right here along side them every step of the way

Just saw this on Benson's site. How are you doing? Was anyone else hurt in the accident? Minor fender bender? Hope no one was seriously hurt.

Hey Dom~
Thanks so much for the concern

I don't drive my car regularly on the street, but today, for the first time since last Drift Day, I took my 180 out on the street. As I was driving her to XS Engineering to get tuned I got hit. I was on the right lane of a three-lane street, this guy was in the center lane and decided at the last minute to make a right from the center lane. He clips my car with his wheel and drags his rear wheel across my wheel, fender and finally my front bumper. It could have been a lot worse. My headlight bracket broke and now I need an new fender, bumper and alignment and I'm going to cross my fingers that no one notices the fat chip off my new Enkei RP03's!!! Who knows what else is messed up...I'll put her on the lift when I go to Alex P for an alignment All I know is that I'm driving Drift Day Sat and Sunday hahahhaa

I yelled at the guy and he actually already settled with me this afternoon. I was lucky he was reasonable and apologetic. Word. There are mindless drivers out there, beware.

Don't drive your bling drift car on the street because messing up your drift car in stupid fender benders isn't as cool as smashing it while drifting....

[Stannyboy]

Yikes fat chip on the enkei's.. man sorry to hear about your car.. Tell tobin that they shipped you a rim with a big chip on it and to give you a new one haha.. Hope thats all thats wrong with it.. see ya this weekend..
