Motorsport Nationals gave us a huge lot to play in and the good people at ADVAN gave us the premium rubber to thrash on. The demo was a bit of a bust on Saturday due to the non stop rain. Knee deep puddles kept us in the paddock most of the day. Sunday dried up enough for the guys to put on a proper show before the rain rolled back in. Late in the day we were able to get in another demonstration but the track was still very slippery and greasy with puddles but we made the best of it tearing it up for the fans. The drivers all reported that the ADVAN tires held up extremely well and performed flawlessly under the entire range of surface conditions encountered during the weekend. We’d like to thank ADVAN, Motorsport Nationals, Gran Turismo East, and Southeast Drift for their support and all the drifting fans for coming out to the show.
