Argh.

This is for you, fellow sicky:

AWESOMENESS.

december weather

Welp . . it’s FINALLY getting really chilly out and the snow is forming up above. *sigh*
I was hoping for 50’s until March, then 60-70’s unitl May, then warm summer weather until October. HA!!! In this state? Nope. But I know that by now. I can still dream though . . .

I still can’t believe it’s already DECEMBER 3rd . . I have no presents bought, very bald rear tires and no desire to shiver at work. Our office is a converted warehouse/garage “modern industrial workspace” – blasphemy!!! it’s freaking cold in the winter!!! At least in the summer we can open up the garage door and pull the grill out . . .

Good bye to tank tops, flip flops and no socks. Hello slippers, hot chocolate and quilts!

On Saturday some of the best amateur drifters in North America gathered at Irwindale Speedway for the Formula Drift Pro Am Nationals. With prize money, free parts, and the chance for an FD Pro license on the line, the competition would be fierce, yet the atmosphere was still that of care-free grassroots event. In total there were 24 drivers who had advanced through the ranks of regional feeder series, or at the FD Pro Am events held across the country in 2009. Although the stands were far from full, there were still plenty of spectators and supporters that came to enjoy the action on a beautiful fall afternoon in SoCal.

(smoking people all day long)

Compared to the madness of a Formula Drift Pro event, Pro Am has a much more relaxed atmosphere. No blasting music, no models – just the cars and their drivers. As fun as the pro events are to shoot, you just can’t beat the vibe of grassroots drifting.

After morning practice it was clear that Mike Pollard would be one of the guys to beat. On his good runs, he was displaying professional-like speed and angle through the entire course. Just look at that the steering angle on his S13!

At the end of the day it would come down to Mike Pollard versus British Columbia’s Ian Fournier in his four-door R32 Skyline.
Ian Fournier would end up taking the victory after Pollard tapped the wall in the final, putting BC and the entire Pacific Northwest drift scene on the top. Fournier, like many of the other drivers is now good to go for competition in the Formula D pro championship. Hopefully he and the other newly licensed drivers will be able to make some waves next year in the “big leagues”.
