| Yesterday I had been driving around town when I saw Touge out of the corner of my eye, I pulled over and went to go look, It was a piece of paper stapled to a Street light outside of the festival. The paper/poster said there was a Touge event going on up in Red Rock, I had never done Touge before, I had my Evo. I thought I would try it out, It was a B Class Street Legal Event, With A few rules, but everything seemed pretty simple.
I went up and raced down the mountain for practice run for later on. I set a timer stop watch on my phone and started off, going through traffic seemed pretty easy except for blind corners, and straight aways, my car didn't have the best top speed. When I got to where the finish is supposed to be I glanced at my time, It was around 2 min. and 40 sec., other competitors where pulling 2:28's so I decided I would put a few things and take a few things out of my car to have a better time. I drove to Trents and he wasn't there, didn't know why. So I drove to the main shop I knew of down in the Horizon Festival. I had them put a few parts on, And Took some things out from the interior of the car for more of a reduction on the Weight.
Im also about to post Todays. | |

| Over-exposed., Bloom is a form of lighting effect, give it a quick google search. Photography I find is always like that, main thing I find todo is find something you want to focus on within it and stick to it and not to change too much (for me it's realism in shots).
There's a few photos in my thread on the evo (main post) feel free to check her out. | |

| Last night I drove home after they were done working on my car, went to bed for a good night sleep.
I woke up the next day, kind of the same thing every morning, Get ready, Eat, watch tv till I had to go. While watching Tv I noticed that this house was huge, I must have only been using about half of it for living...
After thinking for a little bit I walked into the Garage and got into the Evo and Raced it to the even, I hadn't beaten on my Evo this much before, But she didn't have any troubles, Everything seemed to run smoothly. When I got up to the top of Redrock there weren't very many people for this event, Maybe about 10 tops. There was a guy there that i heard about. TRK, He used to do Touge before someone ran him off the road one day and took off leaving him there. He seemed fine now, but he was back I guess. There were others also, haven't heard much about them.
The Competition started and they were running cars just about every two minutes, So I was thinking people were getting down to the bottom of the hill at around 1:45 seconds, which was crazy fast to my almost 3 minute run yesterday. I was up, there wasn't much of a crowd, more of a quiet fact of just me and my car. Once I had started everything seemed alright, Clean Corners, Fast Straight aways and the sound of a car. Everything seemed perfect, the whole run. When I got to the bottom I got my time. I Had ran a 2:28:943, I saw TRK ran a 2:26:013 in his little AE86, No wonder why I've only been in Colorado for a week and already heard his name.
Didn't much after the competition, It still wasn't a 100% of who won the Touge event, but I'm pretty sure A 2:26 is going to be the fastest. I guess I would know when the Results where passed around in the next few days, After about 5 minutes of hanging around at the finish I drove home and just chilled a little bit before going to sleep. | |

| Last Week was all just a pretty boring week, Sleep, eat, work kind of thing, Nothing has gone into the Evo because all last week all I could think of is that I wanted to get back into drifting, The whole week I saved up my money, yeah the whole week lol, and I was on Craiglists every night looking at different cars, but non of them suited me. All of last week just seemed like a huge bust.
Another update coming later today. It will be a lot longer to let you know. | |
