awsome event even though it was a little cold, the course was difficult but i definately learned a thing or two. The drift tandem expo was amazing, excellent finale for a great day of sliding.

Nice to see some of you guys again; congrats to the winners, and I hope Andy is OK. (take care buddy)

Thanks for the get-well wishes!!!

It was a rad event... I had a blast!!! The course was a little weird at FOERST... but as the day went on, started to make more sense. It was awesome!!! Aiming for Tylor was the secret to linking the back section! Hahahahaa!

ATL made a strong showing, and it was a dM 2-3-4 on the podium! I'm so proud!!! It was a really great day... emergency room and all.

We had a champagne victory celebration at the end... and I couldn't get mine open. I haven't opened a bottle of champagne since college, lol. Caught up in the moment... getting champagne shot in my face... it made sense to try and smash the end of the bottle on the curb to pop it open. That would clearly be the worst decision I made all day.

I knew as soon as it happened that I had to go to the hospital. I cut across the face of my thumb, about halfway thru it. My mom was put me in the truck, and we took off for the hospital. I passed out as we pulled out of the lot... and when I came to I freaked out. I couldn't see anything, and didn't know where I was... I didn't know what was going on. It scared the hell out of me. My mom turned around and called 911. An ambulance showed up and took me to Atlanta Medical.

I got stitched up, and all taken care of. They said my blood pressure dropped to zero... which is why I passed out and didn't know where I was. The cut didn't really bother me... but I never want to feel like that ever again.

I checked the atlantadriftexpo.com site... and there wasn't anything listed about a trip to triage for third place... I wonder what'll happen at the next event?!?

I cannot thank all you guys for your help in getting everything packed and to the house. That was really awesome. I love you guys!!!

Cheers to ATLMYHM and an awesome day of DRIFT RACINGGG!!!!!!1

werd, the dM krew kept it real which was awesome, with the exception of my gay ass car like normal. i still had a freaking great time though, and was really digging the track, especially towards the end of the day. i really wish the car wouldn't have decided to create some new wiring problems right as the judged runs started, but oh well, that's the way it goes. i've got a lot of renovation planned over the winter, and then we're taking constant 1st-4th dM finishes next year dammit
