LOL - also - dont forget to shower straight afterwards, get arrested for corruption, and then you'll be able to run for president around here!

The event was awesome, especially for the sx club! Unfortunately the weather turned for the worse early on and spoiled the day. We all got soaked in the rain, had to abandon the gazebo, pack everything up and shelter under the grand stand. This didn't prevent the drifters from putting on a show, with Florin and Jayboy showing real class under the treacherous conditions. The SX club got our moment of glory when we did our parade lap and showed off our cars to the enthusiastic crowd. We had a new record attendance of about 18 cars! Maybe more. The event was cancelled after the drift show due to the bad weather. Hopefully the next one doesn't get rained out...

Toby only forgot 1 thing, thanks to Hotstuff for organising the caps/stickers/banner!

The rain made it challenging but as with all athletics that rain out the spirit of the crowd couldn't be washed away.

I hope our parade laps were caught on Video from the outside. Widowmaker was my co-pilot and also got some footage on my camera. Youtube here he come

The drifters were mindbogglingly good considering the conditions, with speeds still high enough to raise your blood pressure.

George it looked liked you were driving on a mirror of liquid metal from T2 with all that water.

Even tho it rained it was still great!!!

So when is the "get all the photos and Vids event"

hah, I would love to get vids of the drifting. But I culdnt take vids, cuz my memory card was already full

And, erm.. sum of my photos are a bit blurry

cuz I was taking photos with one hand in the rain

But the other photos that are clear looks great, and the club drive by and line up I got on vid. The popping headlights look awesome, and I think it shuld be a 200sx club 'thing' to pop the headlights up and down for an event

And thanks once again to qewrty for bringing braai equipment, extra meat, and chairs! They all came in very handy

Oh, btw... I was feeling like making a music vid of the event

so I'll post it up once its done.. though if anyone can sponsor more video material from yesterday, especially if anyone caught the drifting.. it will be greatly appreciated

Cuz it seems I only got enough for about 1:30 min.. lol
