Drift Safari heads to PGP!!!

Well for a nice saturday morning it started off a little bit hectic, The plan was to leave by 10:30 am...In saying that, we got to the shop by 10am where Ian had to change his oil, pack the car and get his insurance for the day.  This did NOT go as planned.  First off, his il filter must have been attached by superman, it really did not want to come off.  Secondly, Ian's wallet managed to walk off during all of this and we spent an hour looking for it so he could get his insurance.  Once we managed to get on the road, things went a bit smoother, Ian got pulled out of the border line and sent through the commercial line because the border guard loved his car...But who wouldn't!  After gassing up in Lyden, Wa we were finally on our way to the track.  The drive was great, it was a fantastic drive and I took the oportunity to grab a few shots of Ian rolling down the highway.  Unfortunately Trent kept driving on the wrong side of the car or I would have grabbed some of him too.

Trent was rocking Pat Lee's Corolla which was a whole new ball game, a big change from the SR powered corolla he usually drives!  Although underpowered for the track I have to say trent did fairly well with the little beast and looked like he was having fun tossing it into the corners to make it through them......With only a few off course experiences through the day ;)

Ian was in typical form, controlling his car very well and at one point during the day I believe he actually linked the WHOLE track...14 turns in once solid continuous slide.  It was a beautiful site to watch and I look forward to getting out there again with the video camera to bring you all some footage of that.

The day at the event was fantastic, I got to stand pretty much right on the track in controlled areas and really had fun.  Next time I will bring my longer lense to get some better angles off the hill there but in short terms it was a fantastic day.   Check out the facebook page for more shots from the day.
