JDM Allstars

Drifting eh? What a wierd sport. Not as as wierd as street biking though. Street biking is akin to going out and buying a brand new BMX, and then smashing the shit out of it in front of a load of spectators. Saying that I'm sure they think the same about BMX.
Anyway I went to this thing in Newcastle last weekend with the Zeal lot. I didnt really know what to expect, but just went along for the ride really, nothing else fun to do. The event was basically a car show, but with some ramps for a bit of side show entertainment. The setup was quarters both ends, with a box and spine in the middle. Pretty basic. There was a little comp for the kids, and the rest of the time it was just there for people to ride willy nilly. Some people did stuff, it was ok.
The drifting on the other hand.....! Well that was pretty off the hook. I can't tell much about the cars apart from they were loud and wheel-spinny. Mad skills from the drivers who were just practicing for some time trial. They came out one at a time at first, round the small circuit just thrown together in a car park, absolutely caning it, then a couple came round together, then 4, bumper to bumper, literally inches from each other. Well good.
Saturday night we all went out to a bar where Ive never seen so much sausage, then moved on to a different bar with a little less sausage, found booze on the way, got drunk, hid booze, annoyed women, met Billy Mills off the telly, didn't see many orange girls which was dissapointing, Isaac got his foot run over, Ummm and probably lots more besides. Then slept at Tom Kirkbys house. Thanks Tom.
That's about it really, Sunday was a write off (for me) then we drove for 100 hours to get home.
Good times good times, cheers to Hitcher for driving.
