Busy busy weekend! First we started with getting the missile over to Apex’i USA to get the Power FC tuned… That’s right! Kevin installed a Power FC onto the KA, he is a wiring genius. We were having some overboosting issues, but we got them sorted out and Kevin finished up with 275whp. The setup it capable of much more, but since the engine is still stock internals, we do not want to push it.
Here’s the car as we got up to Irwindale for their first drift night with the Adam’s Motorsports Park crew. It has been a long time since Irwindale held a grassroots drift event so we wanted to go up and support!
The event brought out 98 cars total! The track also said that they turned away 38 cars putting the total of drivers that showed up to 135, but there would not be enough run time for that many. They are already working on what they need to do to ensure enough run time for that many drivers. Overall the event was a great success, NOS Energy Drink was out as well to support the Adam’s crew and Toyota Speedway. I was able to take our southern California manager Jean for a ride a long in the missile. It was his first ride in a drift car!
It drifts!
Daijiro came out as well as well to check out the drifting. He says he will have his personal car up and running soon!
On Saturday we went back out to Toyota Speedway to support the Kids Against Cancer fundraiser. They had all types of racing going on all night, from Legends to Late Models… They filled the main grandstand and gave everyone a great show to watch while raising money for a great benefit. We took our team rig out and set it up and displayed the car in the vendor area.
We took the NOS Energy Drink 350Z out for a quick demo right before the big race! We hit the track and drifted the infield and the big banks until the tires popped! The crowd was super excited as they were up out of their seats clapping and cheering! It was a great feeling to be able to drift the entire track and show another new crowd what drifting was all about.
Lined up with the Legends cars…
Waiting to go…
My favorite car of the night!
Popped the tire and debeaded it off the rim! No damage to the car though…
After the Saturday night racing was done… we packed up the truck and headed over to K&N Filters for their annual car show. They placed us front and center of their big meet and had a great display with the help of Jean and his crew who were giving out NOS Energy Drink to everyone that came by. We took the car out for all the fans to come by and check it out as well.
We met with many fans throughout the day as well…
We had a great time seeing everyone over at K&N and want to thank them and Toyota Speedway for having us out to their events this past weekend.
