I just got back from palm beach international raceway for SWD Pro AM Rd 2 at the Formula D Drift event, this was my second pro am event this year and first time to pbir, my goal was to qualify for the top 16 competition which i did at number 9, my first battle was against sami tigger who is a former pro drifter, sami spun on the first run and i moved onto the next round of the top 8, i lost the this round to a driver named thompson out of tampa who was very skilled and beat the top qualifier in the previous round, i ended up with 8th place overall, it was a very good trip considering, i also have the new t shirt out that has "girls like it when i hit it sideways" on the front and joe gorcesky drifting on the back with also slydestalkers,com on the side to represent my good friends and sponsor the showzone, the event before this was at myrtle beach for a practice, it was a great day with lots of runs, we even changed the course mid dayand i did something i never did before, i drifted the 5/8ths oval track at 80 + mph and it was insane!!!!, the event before this was the first pro am at Formula D road atlanta event, this was a national event like palm beach but would say it was bigger due to the fact they have been doing it there for many years, it was a great opportunity for me to get my name out and try bigger race tracks, I only got 10 runs there but by the end i learned alot and was doing pretty good compared to the field, i had transmission troubles but tried to qualify anyway, i had good runs but where there was a section to down shift into second gear i could not, next year i will be more prepared and think i will qualify but still overall a great experience, also this month my dad has got me a hook up with tire town in myrtle beach which they supplied me with a set of toyo tires which i am super appreciative for, i plan on going down there monday june 11th to personally thank them and show them the drift car, also another local buisness zero psi supplied me with tie rods and a trailor for the atlanta trip was super cool too, i greatly appreciate all the support from friends, family, and local buisnesses alike, thank you so much for helping me try to complete my dream!!
