I started this thread to find out more about this awesome drifter. All I know is that he's a member of Drift Alliance, He drives an FC with an SR20, and he's a great drifter. Now for some questions. How did you learn about drifting and what motivated you to do it? How long have you been drifting? What was you first drift car? What are you plans for formula D? What mods have you done to your FC? What's your daily driver? I'd also like to wish you luck in FD next year.

Raul, doubt you'll find him on here. He doesn't come here much. But if i'm not mistaken, he no longer owns the FC. Sold it to a guy on DGTrials. He drove the Endless 350 this season and far as I know, he is looking for an FD to do an SR20 swap on for next years season. Self taught driver, and one hell of one as well.

Maybe he'll pop in and answer Brians questions personally.

Tony will have a lot to say after SEMA.

Well, i learned about drifting, originally from initiald and option videos, sometime around 1998, that's when we were first exposed to it as a sport, i'd been sliding around cars a little bit for fun, but nothing serious, i met chris forsberg around the same time, and we just starting driving and working on cars with all our friends, and spending way, way too much time and money, and having way too much fun to ever take ourselves seriously....

How long have you been drifting? about 6 yrs

What was you first drift car?
My first "drift" car was my first FC it was a 1987 turbo2 with stock susp, intake, exhaust, and Fcon, it was sooo much fun, until i crashed it into a telephone pole. I've had 4 FC's and 2 corollas, the corollas are great cars to learn on...

What are you plans for formula D?
Well, lets just say, i'll be in a very well prepared car for next year, and i'm very excited about it, but i can't really tell you more than that until after SEMA!


What mods have you done to your FC?
My FC has a SR20DET, with a t28, Fcon Vpro, Exedy Stage 3 Clutch, Custom Vmount, and radiator setup, Supernow Tie rod ends, custom 10pt Cage, JIC FLT A2's (8k/8k), ATS Deftforce LSD, and a ton of other stuff i can't remember right now, it's still my car, i haven't sold it to anyone, it was chris forsbergs car, chris and I did the SR conversion in a garage in PA two years ago, and i wound up buying it for last year. This coming year, it will be used for DA demos, and videos etc.



What's your daily driver? I'd also like to wish you luck in FD next year.

For next year, i plan on being at the drift showoff events, and probably the D1 events, as well as some of the WDC....and as always instructing at the drift days!

And whats your thoughts about the new WDC?
I think that i speak for most of the drivers when i say that we all want to support one main drift series, a top level series that brings the most fans, and the most support, and we've all had a really good experience with formula D. The WDC is run by primedia, and will probably give us a good amount of exposure, but i'm not too thrilled that primedia decided to entirely ignore the formula D series, and hasn't really done much to cover american drifters so far, but that is already a thing that is becoming very political. I do hope that one series (FD, D1, WDC), emerges as a FAIR, popular, and well exposed series, and that we can all focus on that one series, as we all still have very limited budgets, and limited time............

And can you give us just a few little hints about the new season/car because SEMA isnt very far away! NOPE!!!, you'll hear about it soon enough!

Thanks Tim

[FC_RAUL]
