drift indy rages, seat time is acquired.

while the Midwest Drift Union events of the 2010 season helped me feel out tuning on the car, the seat time was eaten up by the large amount of better drivers vying for the Pro-Am title. being that i could never quailfy for the competition i was regulated to getting seat time with the group B guys who were all wrestling with their own tuning. MDU is a showcase for the best of the best drivers in the midwest, unfortunately for me, i was far from that level. i opted on missing the last of the 2010 seasons events to concentrate on other aspects of my life, and i will admit i felt a little dejected, by how far i was from the top level of our drivers. i was searching for my spot in the scene i had left for two years, and most of my time was spent encouraging other noob drivers, and taking photo's.

Renton, chris judy AKA spazz, thomas lange aka tdiddy, oliver, we all fought against our cars and some of us excelled while others fought to keep up. Tdiddy found out that seat time made for bigger balls, and he quickly got good.

Edgar and the drift indy staff would not let us down for 2011 tho, they felt the gap left behind by the Pro-Am competition, and their commitment to helping noob level drivers get good shined through, soon Drift Indy was reborn, friday night rage nights at lucas oil raceway park gave them the chance they needed and soon low key no competition practices were back in our lives.


2 rage nights under my belt and my love for this sport and interest in getting good has been completely renewed! many thanks to edgar, jorge, tr and all my bro's...
