Finally got the Cress-ant out on the track for my first drift event ever in Indianapolis, IN at the Drift Indy Friday Night Rage on July 8, 2011 at Lucas Oil Raceway. As you can tell, I don't know what the hell I'm doing but I had a blast and learned a ton. From the pics you can see that my diff was slipping like crazy, which added to my learning curve. I have a long list of To-Do's to get ready for the next one on August 12, and I've been working like a madman trying to get the car ready. Overall, I am really happy with my decision to build this monstrosity over the past year. Every blip of the throttle and squeal of the tires makes all of the hard work worth while. Now, back to the garage...
