My First Sponsor

15,578 miles.Today I had one of my 1st video interviews for a upcoming drifting dvd. Me & Ben were interviewed, or should I say grilled!.  They had a lot of good questions for us that really strained our brains! I had a really good time. I’m finally realizing how big drifting is getting, they’re making DVD’s and me & my friends are in them. Its all flashing before my eyes.

I’ll keep you posted as to when this new DVD will be out, and don’t forget Grip Video volume 5 is coming out soon, they’re featuring BenLove on there. Thanks to the guys today, (you know who you are, thank you for giving me & Benson the opportunity to be a part of something so cool!)~

More news, I’m now sponsored by Yokohama Tires!  Finally, some support for my girl drifting efforts ;). I’d like to send a special thank you to Art Michalik & Kim Hernandez at Yokohama.  I submitted a sponsorship proposal and met with them and really had a good talk about my future in drifting.

I’m trying out their AVS sports at the moment. I plan to run AVS sports in the front and ES100s in the rear for drifting. So far, the AVS sports are quiet, smooth, and quite grippy (all this tested via my hotheadroadrageskills). I can’t wait to try them out on the track. My next drifting practice is October 19th at Irwindale speedway. It isn’t soon enough! My foot itches and so does my e-brake pulling hand.

Its been a couple of months since my last drive on the track, hope I still remember how to kick the clutch!  Next week I hope to go down to KAAZ and install my KAAZ 2-way LSD (thank you Benson love). I feel like I’ve earned the new lsd since I’ve had the viscous one on for this entire year! My fuel pump kept tripping its fuse, so Friday I picked up a Denso fuel pump (Thank you to Wayne at Phase2 Motortrend). Me & Ben installed it overnight and got high off the gas fumes, I haven’t ever looked inside my gas tank, pretty scary. My car runs smoother now and a little bit faster, it could be in my head.

I’m not so sure what color to paint my car now. It should be the end of October when my new wheels come in and I take my car in to get painted. I’m trying to decide whether I should pull my engine for the paint job or not. Decisions decisions…Anyways, make time fly so I can go make sure I didn’t forget how to drift. Take care, drive safe and don’t forget, you crazy boys, keep it on the track!
