"Widow Maker" turbo Ls1 RX7FC

Well i wouldn't be bullshitting if i didn't say this car jazz is financially worse than a crack habit,an angry x wife,and a gambling addiction all combined. but hey,better do something ya like than walk through life waiting in line for the next bird to shit on your head. 1 1/2 years and counting,and its still not done. no big sponsors,no big shops,no financial help,just me and my buddies trying to piece together one bad as fuck madza. Here's some more recent pics.

rd1 midwest drift union 2013 5/4/13

This year was has been all about change. Leaving the tattoo shop i worked for since 98, building a new car, and a tornado of other spices in the cooking kettle of life's mystery meat.sometimes we just gotta roll with the punches.so my rx7fc still isn't done.its been a long over 1 1/2 year process so far with enough back pedaling and money spent that i could almost just light the thing on fire,but as much as a pain in the tight one it is, one day it will hopefully b more than great.
     so since my own car wasn't ready, a local driver Rich Fisher was willing to be that awesome and let me borrow his car for the event. he's well over 6 feet tasll so i couldn't even touch the pedals.it had stock angle as well.(I've been spoiled with MA motorsports knuckles for years) So it was difficult relearning how to drive a more street feeling 14 chassis. Had great power but felt like i was jerking off with the wrong hand.it got the job done but it just felt weird.i managed to finish the day with 10th.not bad for not driving in forever,on my most hated track in the midwest,in a car I've never driven.but it reminded me why i love this sport so much.my buddies.seeing the guys that live so far that you only really see at events.chilling during and after the event.its not just about stupid cars.there is really so much more to it than that.

putting it all together

  Its been a crazy ride since i 1st got into drifting in 2007. Going from just a fan of the sport, purchasing a 95 240sx, street drifting,then to competing. 2010 NOS energy most memorable driver,2010 national pro am,2011 NOS driver of the year,2011 national pro am,2011 formula drift pro license. 2012 was a year of change for me.putting things in the right place, Life things and drifting things. Looking forward to making moves in 2013.Time to put it all together.:)

2011 midwest drift union

so this is how it all happened yuall....rd1 got 1st,,rd2 took 2nd,,,rd3 blew up motor in 1st session of practice,rd4 borrowed a friends car last minute cause the new motor wasnt finished,rd5 was troubled with wiring an clutch issues so couldnt compete.....not how i wanted things to pan out..but somehow finished 4th overall in season,so apparently got my formula drift license.i feel like i coulda ripped hard this season but the cards dont always lay the way u want them 2..working harder than a hooker in hollywood an spending every last penny like some gambling freak show,i finally have reached the next step...not shure what the plan is for next year.goin to take the advice of peeps that know better.a new car is in the works an a diff motor setup will also happen for 2012.thanks to all who have helped/believed in my funky ass.hope 2 learn alot more in the future,an make a new mark in the drifting world. sleep with the lights on:)
