Last minute decision I decided to hang with my bud Waylon and head to California for the weekend, sounded like what I have been looking for. A hoodoo – Touge NW – Drift X clone once again a weekend of camping, a party, and waking up to burning tires camping once again. I loved hoodoo back in the 2010, opened my eyes up to a sport of the grass roots of drifting.
The Streets is an awesome first part of the track. This is a google map of the overview of the map below. This felt like an one of the awesome tracks I have ever been to so far, they ran the track counter clock wise Saturday and on Sunday they ran it clock wise.
Saturaday night they did drift teams competition, that was awesome to see 4 – 7 car drift train teams some awesome to see. Few wrecks, a few cars blew up out there it was purely epic weekend no one was hurt.
Spike Chen’s car did burst into flames, but it was minor and was repaired in time giving his epic super charged whining is back to the grind. I did see a few rear brakes get soo hot they ended up glowing really red and one brake system completely burst into flames on a 240sx as I was charging my phone.
One of the epic times of being out here was to check out an S12 with a similar build to Fairlady-Silvia.
Julian’s awesome s12, rolled once a while back, but epic times I had the honour to ride along with Julian, he’s very beast with his s12, taught me a few things with my car already.
As a day later, I drove my s12 with much more confidence now. It really feels good to drive my s12 with out the fear anymore. I even connected a small sweeper coming out of the garage at work today is how confident I feel with my car now. The vg30e isn’t an LSx nor it’s an RB motor, the VG is beast and cheap motor that comes stock in the 87 – 88 cars like my Fairelady-Silvia Project and Julian seems to have mastered his car very well, he has his precision driving down even learned a few techniques while driving. So when I get my z31 arms modded and ready to install, I will defiantly upgrade the E-Brake to an Hydro E-Brake System. I give mad respect to Julian with his driving skills, another inspirational s12 driver in I hope to one day tandem with.
Saturday night, was a huge party. Everyone practically except for me was drinking, I never been a drinker. Never will be, but anyway, everyone was getting shitfaced, stripper pole was setup but no strippers dafuq? music playing and dancing and other drinking games was happening.
The Horse Theif Mile is one Crazy Course. It reminds me of the Touge I would see either on the cartoons or in youtube videos of Japanese drift in the touge.
I am glade they opened this course up, it was amazing drift track setup. Only epic crash is someone going off course with their 350z and broke their front suspension.
Here is a videos I found on youtube.

Overall, even as a spectator. I had fun it is something I really need, it was a great weekend to get out of vegas too, for something I was looking for again since 2010. Check out the gallery here.
