Spent the weekend installing 4.30 gears and a Torsen T2 upgrade from my T1. Then proceded to get the car high centered in the dirt taking these photos: Big thanks to Malcolm for taking these pictures! Check out his MySpace page and check out www.coupesfail.com for more pics.

THE GAUNTLET

WHO: Trial By Fire in association with NASA Arizona, Firebird international raceway, AZDrift and Intense Motorsports

WHAT: HPDE, Drifting, Tandem, Competitions and Prizes!

WHERE:This is where it gets complicated;
SATURDAY 8am-4pm: HPDE at PIR!
SATURDAY 5pm: CARAVAN DOWN THE FREEWAY FROM PIR TO FIREBIRD!
SATURDAY 6pm-12am: DRIFTING at Firebird on the Skidpad and A FULLY LIGHTED WEST TRACK! that is 2 tracks for the price of 1!
SUNDAY: DRIFTING AT PIR! the mother of all tracks for drifting.

PIR REGISTRATION: https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/909

WHEN: September 12th and 13th 2009

WHY THE HELL ARE WE DOING THIS? I honestly have no idea. I already have an ulcer thinking about this.

HOW MUCH? Also a good question. TRIAL BY FIRE WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY MONEY FOR THIS EVENT BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE RUN AT 2 DIFFERENT TRACKS. PAYMENT INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED AS SOON AS ITS AVAILABLE.

COST:
HPDE: $75 (only with drift on sunday) https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/909
PIR DRIFT: $100 (must have completed HPDE1 school) https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/909
Firebird Drift: $40


IT IS NOT REQUIRED TO RUN ALL EVENTS! YOU CAN RUN WHICHEVER ONES YOU CHOOSE TO!

If you have the testicular fortitude to run all 3 events you are attempting to complete THE GAUNTLET. Its basically a tour of awesomeness and we will be handing stuff out to the drivers who do drive in everything.

Friends, I have no idea how we pulled this off. The cooperation NASA and Firebird have shown us is incredible. NEVER has drifting been received with such open arms before and its a testament to how far we have come in the years we have been doing this in Arizona.

Any and all questions are welcome! you can ask in this thread, or email joe or george. joe@trialbyfire.org, george@trialbyfire.org.

WE ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL EVENT SPONSORS! NO MONEY IS REQUIRED ONLY PARTS TO GIVE OUT DURING THE COMPETITION AND SPECIAL CATEGORIES!!! WE ARE LOOKING FOR MEDIA COVERAGE ALSO! VIDEO, PRINT, EMAG'S, ETC!

Paint is finally done!

The motor, s15 subframe, and super angle kit will be done in the next few days. Getting ready for THE GAUNTLET!

Project Blitzkrieg Making Progress

So the motor came out of the s13 today to get completely assembled and while it was out I thought it would be a good time to make the engine bay look a bit cleaner.


more to pics to come.

Firebird Raceway Drag & Drift June 6th rockin our Intensepower.com S13

June 6th 2009 was a great turnout @ Firebird Raceway in Arizona. Once the sun started to go down, the tires started to spin... worked for me in the Intensepower.com S13 as the temperature change got me amped up!!

Thanks to Dax Rodriguez from www.motormavens.com for the amazing coverage
