When I go to a car show, I like to see everything, from custom wild builds, big power, clean exterior, right down to the things that are purpose built.
I understand that a lot of drift cars, are not always the clean'st, but when you are driving your car to its limits, and constantly breaking parts, its very expensive to keep ontop of things.. There is nothing I love more than to go to a car show, and see something that someone has driven hard, and is clean, but it has the marks of character.
I know the countless hours that have been put into a drift car to keep it operating and looking somewhat together is insane. Its a vast sport, and somethings need to be taken for what they are, a functioning purpose built car.
all that aside,
that "s13 from washington, with the miller genuine draft shift knob"
Is actually my car, It is a lowermainland car, it just had no plates, as it is constantly vi'd so I cant afford to insure it anymore for long term.
Needless to say, it was a good show! I was very suprised that with the hiatus that dtp had, the venue, and the weather, that there was the turnout of cars that we had, and the turnout of spectators..
Hopefully it was enough to make the organizers realize that we are serious, and we do want this to come back, and maybe next year we can get back into bc place..
