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 !!!!  Talk about Ride of a LIFETIME , SO PUMPED , I was litereally Speechless when marketing contacted me. Once again, SCION has totally SHOCKED ME !!  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! |
