Mike's s13- Video: Drift Indy Practice/Comp at Converse Airport

Well i just went to the DriftIndy event this past Saturday in Converse, IN. It was an awesome event! lots of track time, pretty big crowd(locals supporting the event), a DJ, and some pretty cool vendors. alot of highly skilled drivers (amateur, semi-pro, and pro) driver were there from all over the midwest. I ended up qualifying 7th for the comp that they had. i would have been up against a guy in some red fc(qualified 2nd), but since i dont have a cage, i received a DNF for the first round. it still feels like a good accomplishment for me to be considered on a level...well distant level...with some of the best drivers in the midwest!

since the event, i incurred some minor body damage(due to hitting some damn tough cones at ~60mph), wore out my front tires completely, need to find more burnoffs for the rear, and need to do some other suspension maintenance.

its going to be tough to pay for the maintenance items while trying to save for a seat and cage at the same time since school will be starting soon... i'll have all winter..lets see what happens.

anyways, here's a video
