Went to watch Pro AM yesterday, got there a lil late, but still managed to catch the Top 8.
Wes found out a dope spot behind the ticket purchasing building, there was a flight of stairs behind the building that he spotted and we snuck around and sat up there. This gave us a perfect view of the initiation and the bank and also the whole course =). Plus, we didn’t have to pay wuhahah.
This dude ended up getting 1st place. He was from Canada I believe. Nice R32 SEDAN! WAH000 MY FAVORITE!
I was kinda surprised by the outcome. Normally these events are dominated by SoCal drifters, but for this event it seemed like SoCal drifters were the miniority. Many drivers came in from all over, like Washington, Texas, Canada, etc. I am happy that some of the people I drove with in Pro AM last year finally got their licenses such as Kelvin Arreola and Cyrus Martinez. I will be looking forward to seeing how they will do in Long Beach =), now theres more people to cheer for hehe. It was cool being back at a drift event, saw lotsa familiar faces, lotsa people asked why I wasn’t driving lol. Blah.
This nice looking battle-scarred and beaten Cressida was one of the drivers, I think he was from Texas. Dude kept spinning though =\, but nice car. Wes was really happy to see that people were actually drifting Cressidas and etc since he had one as his first car =).
JTuned had this mini auto-show thingy going on and Ben spotted Gordon with his sick daily driven 120,000 mile Evo 8 MR.
Thing is fking sexy! It’s a really complete build, but its still not finished yet. He has an Autopower roll cage inside, along with Recaro Pole Position bucket, harnesses, etc. In the motor he has a pretty crazy turbo setup, an HKS GT3037 I believe with many supporting mods. He’s actually running a Apex’i Power FC ECU which is pretty rare to use in the states as most people just tune off the stock ECU these days. Suspension is legit as well and you can obviously see the awesomeness of the exterior. He has a super rare Cusco wing, I think he said only him and somebody else has it in the states. I still can’t believe this thing is daily driven around the streets of LA, and he still keeps it so clean and intact like this. Crazy! PROPS!
