Busy weekend...

So...me & Taka went to NOS Center @ San Bernadino on early Sat morning.



We had a promotional photoshoot thingy for Drift 101/102 before the Megan Racing Competition started.

And even before the photoshoot, we had to mount the Nexen tires to XXR wheels, change the tires, put the sponsor stickers, and blah blah blah...Taka, Hiro, even the student helped to put the stickers on the car! Thank you everyone!




I should get a bit more stickers...but didn't have time to make the matching stickers on time.





Me sitting in passenger seat explaining to the student...

But somehow, I look like the student listening to the instructor, don't I?! hahaha O well.





And...he was a good student! Tire smoke w/ stock KA power!




After the photoshoot, my Drift 102 car was displayed w/ Drift 101 car!




This is the president of Megan Racing, Calvin. He looks like...an actor in action movie...hahaha
Thank you very much for your loyal support for a looong time!






Anyway, I was gonna...just relax watching the event...BUT, I heard my great friend, Amanda was a ticket girl for the day BY HERSELF. So...I just decided to stay w/ her to annoy her. She is pretty, ha?






Anyway, we thought....this nice booth was the one we would use.






But...this was the one we used...At least, we got an A/C in the booth.
O, the hand-writing paper thingys were made by me. But...I forgot to take them off after the event.




Amanda told me to pose like a FOB...Did I do a good job?





And...one time, we asked Naoki to get changes. Somehow, he bought us some candy bars (?) to get changes, but it was warm...so I just cooled them down taping near A/C...This was how much I got bored...




And...I guess, I annoyed her too much to knock her down...





So...we didn't get to see any drift action at all...and we went back to the ceremony...but there were too many people in front of the cars...and ended up it became so dark.





Matt Powers got the 1st place! Congrats!
He is a Formula D driver and will be @ Las Vegas, so cheer him up if you see him! He is a really cute & nice person...and posed for me for many times...but I couldn't take clear pix as always. Sorry...





We went home like 12:30am...and had to be ready for Drift Day @ El Toro on Sun.




----
And...we arrived @ El Toro a bit later than 6:00am...and of course, no one was there...





Taka brought his competition AE86 to the event site to practice. Pic stolen from Club4ag.com.





There were several Formula D drivers came to the event, but I was too lazy to take pix.

Like, Chris F., JTP, Alex P. , Kyle M., Matt P., and the end of the day...Dai Y, Ryuji M., Robbie N., Eric O...and of course, Taka & Hiro...hahaha




Chris F & JTP...Pic Stolen from chrisforsberg.com





Unfortunately, Taka's car was broken AGAIN! The throttle broke. When he got a turbo system, the throttle thingy was broken 4 times.

Anyway, he couldn't practice as much again. So sad.

Taka needs to get the car's gremlins out. I don't know how to do it though. Sacrifice a chicken?

C.B.Leslie: If we can't find out how to rid of gremlins out, would you somehow help to make gremlins back to Gizmo?? BTW, chicken made me hungry...now I have to eat something.
