Smackdown II Drag/Drift/Autox
We went to a Drag/Drift/AutoX event that lasted all weekend put on by the NWAA. All the pics I have are from autox because I forgot my camera on the day of the drags and drifting.
It was nice to see 06SharkGT there plus bringing along some buddies which all seemed like cool guys.
Glad Sephlar and wife made it out for Sunday also.
Thanks to Paz from Northwest Kia Tuners and Paz's brother for showing up and helping represent the northwest Korean car tuning scene.
And to hell with wilburisthecoolest for co-driving the Tib with me and getting faster times than I did! Lol! But really thanks, it was nice to see someone else run the car. My driving style and the Tib's driving dynamics don't mesh well on the autox course but I've known that for a while now that's why I usually drive the Accent. Many big thanks for the use of the cabin also.
All pics here

I love taking mountain pictures. I have some I really love of another side of Mt. Rainier at sunset, some with the Accent silhouetted in the foreground with it's headlights on.

I'm just giving you a hard time. I had some trouble linking the course and the Chicago box in back scared me. lol.
But yes, next year will be epic.

Better late than never, here's a video of my first run feeling out the course:

Didn't even end up going in 09. sad.gif
Most of the people around here that autocrossed with me have quit too. Sad.
At least I'm still sticking with it. It keeps me from street racing or driving like a jackass as much as I would without a fun legal outlet.
