"Nobody knew what I was doing. It looked like I was just going slow and wasting tires." :D

Guess no one reads the paper around here.

some of my quotes sound funny. The "show, not sport" quote was in reference to not using timing that night. No biggie heh.

The corolla picture was shot by benyl.

The benz picture was shot by Ben with my HD camcorder. It's a still frame from the motion shot, so the quality isn't as good as from an actual camera.

its a 93 so its a 2g

i think that is a stupid article (not the drifting one, the drifting one kicks ass)

they give props to a kid with a stock talon and "blue lights under the hood" and "custom blue gauges" lol ooh :thumbsup: :rolleyes:

i could be wrong since i skimmed through it, i just found rage2's article much more appealing to read :D :thumbsup: :thumbsup: to the beyond.ca plug im like "woo hoo thats us!"

I thaught that was awsome! I think its about time that Calgary had a drift event. We need more though! BTW that 86 looked pretty damn good in the paper.

Devin was at the drift show using that car, so if you saw the article in the papers, that was your old car in the picture.
