October 31st, 2009: It was wet most of the day. This is a short compilation of footage I grabbed. I hope you guys enjoy it. More good stuff at Southeastdrift.com.
“Southeast Drift spent Halloween at the all new Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson, Ga hosting “Drivers Only 3″. The facility is everything people have said it is. Perfect surface that gives stellar grip in wet and dry. With morning showers drying up in the afternoon drivers got a chance to really experience what the surface at GMP is like. The day was divided into 2 run groups of 10 drivers. Seat time was plentiful all day long. Course layout was changed throughout the day including flipping the entry and exit points to give an added challenge. We are very eager to get back to GMP to close our 2009 season with “Land of the Great” Nov. 28th.”
Garage Zero, along with many of our friends, will be runnin’ throughout the day. Come support us and have fun doing it! The Gresham Motorsports Park venue is really nice. I got a chance to use the restroom while I was there last time and was very impressed with how clean it was. You know how I am with my restrooms. Aside from that, the track provides from some really great layouts.
We will most likely be running the red ae86 coupe or possibly Larry, the te38 Corolla wagon–lol. Anyway, I hope to see you all there. Land of the Great is the last local drift event of the year.
Check out Southeastdrift.Com for more info. They really know how to set up an event and it keeps getting better and better.
…held at Gresham Motorsports Park in Jefferson, GA. BlackTrash Chris, in his s13.5 kouki front Nissan 240sx, is the one in the vid. You can catch him posting on 240atlanta.com. Enjoy…
It was a rainy day, but still fun, nonetheless. ImportAtlanta.Com, Mainstream Performance, NOPI, NOS Energy Drink, Thinline IT, Zen Motors, Traffic Jam Motorsports, and friends/supporters put on a great event. The food was free, which I heard ran out very quick. There was plenty to do and see. The turnout was great. The video only covers about half the cars that showed up. The Old School Japanese Car meet was held at TunerFest, as well. I can only say so much. You just had to be there. I added some screenshots. Enjoy the vid! It’s at the very bottom.
Equipped with a 20v blacktop 4AGE – Kelvin qualified for top 16 during the single runs and had to face the Batlground S14, then a boosted IS300 to qualify for Top 4. After moving on, Kelvin was able to take 3rd place against the Drift Emporium G35 (supercharged V8). He was later knocked out by George in the red s13, who took 2nd place.
It was the classic David vs Goliath theme. You have to give it up for all the drivers. It’s not easier following an AE86’s slower line when you have to control a car with way more horsepower. Congrats to all the drivers. Congratulations Kelvin!! I’m so proud you, dude!
Take note: There was a no passing rule in effect. Hitting cones and straightening out counted against the drivers. Spinning out, even if it was at the very end, counted heavily against final scores.
We [GarageZero] will have one of the corollas on the track. We’re shootin’ for the TE31 to be ready by Saturday. If not, the AE86 will have to do. If you want to purchase a GarageZero t-shirt, we’ll have them at the event for $15–just come grab one of us. We’ll be wearing them.
Come support your local grassroots drift events!! Click the flyer for more info.
$5 for spectators and $15 for ride-a-longs.
For those that have not heard of this monthly meet in Atlanta, at the Varsity, it’s something else. I, do, enjoy covering it from time to time. Every first Thursday of the month is when it occurs. There’s all different types of cars, bikes, and trucks. Pretty much anything goes. It’s becoming so crowded, all the spots fill up by 7 o’clock in the summer time. Well, enough jabberin’, on to the pics:
I got a chance to take some quick snaps of Jess’ hatch at the Riverside Sonic meet this past Thursday. Chris and Jess are a big part of the southeast grassroots drift scene. They put a lot into their cars and it shows. –only 4 shots. The cops were telling everyone in the lot to leave. Enjoy.
