OMG, Just had Best call..SCION Drift Ride Along this Wknd!!!
 
I have followed Formula Drift here in NW since 2006, Monroe, WA has been a great NW Venue for them, nice Fast high banked oval, to tighter technical section in the middle.

Rick the Regional Scion shared a contest for 3 Lucky People a chance to go for a Ride Along....

I GOT THE CALL !!!! :thumbup:

Talk about Ride of a LIFETIME , SO PUMPED , I was litereally Speechless when marketing contacted me.

Once again, SCION has totally SHOCKED ME !! :thumbsup:

This year w/ 1st 86 Promo, Delivery at Dealership, Drive Event, to this, what a run!!

Just had to share, maybe I can bring my helmet w/ GoPro mount!

Disregard my Gitty cracking up and sounding like a dork... he is soo smooth, def some mad skills and shows potential of stock FR-S can do!! Fun stuff!!

Thats cool man! I used to be heavily vested in Formula D & if you havent had the chance to ride with a pro drifter you are missing out. It is like nothing else.

Who are you riding with Asabo or Gushi?

Ok, back to the Eastside of WA. state.

Another Great FD event in the books!!

Team SCION Looked Great, some tough early losses, but left Ken in Top 4 finish!!!

Since he qualified, they didn't want to risk the Greddy Race car, darn it! BUT...I did get to roll w/ Ken in a Whiteout FR-S fr the SCION Tent!!

Wow, he made everything seem soo easy, some 180's around cones, long drifts, to some figure 8's!! I was laughing like a Kid the whole time!! Nice guy, vid to come soon!! I had a brief interview w/ a camera guy..not sure if Scion PR or FD Person? They wanted my thoughts/reactions to the car, wasn't quite expecting that, but went smooth!

Once again, SCION Delivered !!!

I scored a FR-S Backpack, Sweatshirt, and Flex FR-S Hat !

Thats awesome man! Riding with a pro driver like Ken is the chance of a life time. Its crazy how they can make it look so natural - lots of skill involved there.

PICS!
