On some real shit: Last summer Dayz (MAP round 3 drift pics)

As the summer days are winding down I took my last chance of taking photos at MAP’s 3^rd round Drift event at Elko Speedway. You may be curious why I say “last chance”, it’s because that I sent back the camera that was gracious lend to me for the summer. It was a fun trip while it lasted as I stood side by side with other great photographers snapping away at drift cars whipping around Elko Speedway. I enjoyed my time taking photos and may be time for me to suck it up and actually purchase one of these bad boys(camera). It really seem like the other day I was snapping photos for the first time and not knowing how to go about taking a car in motion but with the help of people like Neng(jmuag production) and Tou(tydus photography) I started catching on and believe I took some decent fotos for a noob.

Well, at this particular event and like others in the past there was always one or two who find themselves pushing the limit too far as they slam against the walls of Elko. The unforgiving walls left a local drifter’s 240sx in flames literally(look in pictures) but the driver was able to walk away and even had time to pose along with the car as the engine bay was engulf in flames. Hopefully the driver/owner can savaged something together and be out drifting again. Even though it seemed that there was a couple of new drivers to the track, it didn’t seem the fade them a bit as I watch these guys pushing along the banks and inner turns looking like they’ve been there before. It’s always a pleasure getting to see drivers getting better at each event and only the future can tell where the drift scene in Minnesota will end up.

This summer of drifting has been fun to spectate and take photos at these drift events. I can only imagine what will happen in the next years to follow. I just want to take a little bit of time to say thanks to those helped me out this summer Jmuag Production, Tydus Photography, my brother, and anyone who took some time to look through my pictures and gave me feedback. You guys are greatly appreciated…thank you.

So...on other notes and random thoughts, I just hope I can continue on with this blog even though I will be lacking a little bit of picture quality.  When I started this blog I wasn't quite sure where I wanted it to lead to but I think having a place to put pictures on instead of just posting a link on facebook or forums show a little more effort.  It might just be the writer in me but i enjoy writing about cars and my experience.  Even though sometime I just find ways to say shit and post pictures alongside it(lol).  If you're a friend or stranger reading my blog for the first time, it'll be nice of you if you can spread the word and repost this blog onto your facebook or other social site you may be part of.  Maybe in the future I'll do a tech post with a little more information and facts, but I believe that's why there's car magazines and forums like honda-tech for you tech needs.  so feel free to share the blog and just try ton enjoy the pictures because it's just done out of fun.

 but really...i can't believe it's August already.  It seem as though this season has gone by so fast and I havent took enough pictures or talk about cars enough. well...looking back, i guess i did but im really not looking forward to winter, i need to move out west or something so i can do this on a daily.  It would be fun going to different events and getting paid to cover.  That's the dream job right there...even if it doesnt pay well, but if they would pay for expenses and all i have to do is go shoot and do write-ups I would do that shit all day if i could. maybe one day....
