Drift X
Attending Drift X was a pretty last minute thing for me. I ended up arriving at around 5pm after messing around with the teg in the morning (to no avail) and deciding that the S14 could wait till Sunday before I'd end up rage quitting and burning both cars.
I actually ended up spending the first hour or so walking around the pits with Maq and Henry before I ended up going to watch any drifting. There were a few cool cars around the pits that I spotted while walking around.

| I still have a soft spot for Zenki's, maybe one day. |

| So clean it got another shot |
Michael's 32 had retired for the day by the time we got there. It was running faultlessly till he snapped his handbrake cable and then blew a rb20 box the next day. Michael also discovered he was running Aragosta's after I pointed them out haha.
I then trekked down to the main track/the bowl to catch some drifting and rubber showers in my eyes.
The cool thing about this year was that the Thunderdome was running till 11pm for some night drifting. Sadly my basic camera setup was struggling with the low light - maybe time for full frame soon if I can stop spending on cars.
There was some pretty impressive driving too, some of these guys have no fear
I ended up putting my camera away to just focus on watching the drifting, there were some pretty intense trains going on throughout the night.
These were the only usable photos unfortunately as I didn't realise how noisy/blurry the other night shots were till I got home and loaded it up on my computer haha.
Hopefully this years event inspires a lot more people to enter for next years, there was an amazing atmosphere when the night drifting kicked on with even parents watching with kids on their shoulders.

| Jap tubs ftw |
Oliver's S13 is simply next level with the amount of work and attention to detail that has gone into it. The car also has coloured NOS purge NFSU2 styles :P |
| Oliver returning from the parking competition surprisingly with all of his kit |

| Doesn't have to be Type-X to be cool |

| The gold and green colour scheme reminded me of subway mmm eat fresh |
 |
| Plot twist - all the smoke was really from the Vape |
 |
| One of my favourite S15's |

| More grain than your CRT TV back in the day without a coat hanger antenna |
