<\/strong>18,308 miles.\u00a0 I’ve been cooking up a lot of stuff for 2004, but I’m back on track with this diary. Where do I start!?<\/p>\n

I changed to 5lug, z32 brakes, and put my new wheels on. I also got myself a Nismo power bar…and I got these really cute floor mats hahaha. I picked up a sorta sponsor\/magazine article thing with Apex USA, so I’m happy to say I’ll be boosting up and tuning in a month or so (thank you Scott, thank you Len, thank you Apex ;).<\/p>\n

Drifting Pretty<\/strong>
\nThe biggest news has been the birth of my new Girl-Drifter-Training program called Drifting Pretty. (the website isn’t up yet \ud83d\ude09 We’ve had two meetings so far and have gained about 5 new members just this past month. Throughout 2003 Yoshie (my drifting partner at all the Drift Days) and I kept asking each other, “Where the girls at!!?,” Learning how to drift just isn’t the same without having some other women out on the track that you can relate with. We wondered… what was the problem…why weren’t the girls coming out to track. Could it be the testosterone? The male egos? Or the absense of a women welcome wagon? So we created Drifting Pretty. If you’re a girl and want more info, email me (my info is at the bottom of the page).<\/p>\n

The program gives women a structured curriculum to train on and of course, introduce them to a new circle of girlfriends. We go to autocrosses, road races, go-kart racing, and drift events. We hold tech days and talk car talk over manicures. We have over 20 members now, and I’m excited and hopeful for our students. We hope that we all can get really good together, while of course having fun out on the track. I’m getting a lot of pessimism from men, but I guess that’s what I get for stepping in on their territory. Some claim this program to be a media whore, but really guys, all that matters is that we BRING IT to the track everytime. Watch out…the girls are taking over the track. I predict by the end of the year, 50% of drifting event participants will be women.<\/p>\n

Wish me and the girls of Drifting Pretty good luck!! We’ll ALL see you at the track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
