Ok ok. That was a really mean trick! The headline is a line from the song in the video I am going to post below and the mean trick part is that I will be the only “bad” broad in this video. But hey, they say a good headline brings in readers and alas, I am way into marketing.
Anywaaaays, as I am sure most of you are well aware, the 2nd installment of South East Drift’s summer practice series was this past weekend at Turner Field. I have to admit participating in a season of local driving, after having been on a hiatus and then previously on a national driving stint, has been really frikkin’ awesome! It has been so cool to reconnect with my hometown peeps. For a while there, my drifting world really frikkin’ sucked. I was actually really unhappy with what drifting had made me into. In my quest to help the East Coast movement and to try to survive in the big time drifting scene, I turned into a stressed out and hasty little woman for a while there. I know my heart was in the right place, but all of that pressure is a lot for one person and my attitude certainly showed it! Hey! At least I can admit it.
It has been almost 3 years since Dan and I (and a variety of other cast members like Andy Sapp and Erin Sanford) were on a national tour driving in various series and demos. For dang near all of that down time, I didn’t drive. I was focusing on school and getting settled into that life for a minute. I was sort of afraid that I might have forgotten how to do it. It seemed like it had been so long since the last time I had driven. Dan was almost in the same boat. He had gone to a few events while I was on Bullrun, but that was few and far between. Thank goodness for good, old friends like the Drift Mechaniks, Tiger Racing/RIP Garage and Southeast Drift because they helped us remember how to keep drifting fun. No pun intended! But it worked out awesome anyways.
Ok. Enough of the blah blah blah and onto the the video sent to us by Roots Photography. That’s me in the video. Dan didn’t drive this weekend. We have decided he will compete and I will have fun!!!! Yay! Best idea we have had in a long time. I may do some silly little comps someday, but for now I am chillin and Dan is being a man and trying to go big still. Good luck babes!
