Another nice event happening with Vegas Drift / SW Drift Series. This will be an interesting run as my turbo car is not ready and will not be ready by then as I wanted to be.
But yes, come out and enjoy I will most likely be the only s12 running.

Vegas Drift Practice – Bullring lot on 02/21/2015
About this night practice event, it was to bring back some old school tracks. Not fully sure but I think this is coming more as a closure from the announcement from last year in regards to bringing more of an old school and limit the competition with Spirit of the streets, as I have taken notice with South West Drift is starting to launch off this year. Recently the forums has been taken offline I believe it is due to the Facebook groups has more traffic then the forums. Or is t in preparing for the newly to be launch Southwestdrift.com? With little details it is not much more then a rumor mill.
I ran my car that night, I didn’t have much tires but I am definitely back in the groove of things, That day started out rocky as I had to get 2 tires to replaced the recently burned up from best of vegas last year.
The course was a bit different but it is a bit fun, I didn’t have to shift out of second gear, instead unless I spun out and I did so alot of times due to incorrect power or got thrown off by the misplacement of the cones. Starting off I was flying by the edge of my seat today, I headed over to LLantera to get some cheap tires and then from there I made it around 2:15 to check in and unload to get tech inspected, after the drivers meeting I head back to 7-11 on Craig and Las Vegas Blvd. From there I was greeted with 4 pan handlers asking for change and one was trying their hardest to get the 2 dollars in quarters that I had for air in my tires. They looked bad, looked like a witch from fairy tails all talking with desperation and with massive arm sores.
I had one great night of fun, alot of weight transfer and clutch kicking is my way tonight and multiple times I launched great but ended with a spin out or loosing my line due to a cone in the middle or somehow forgetting where I was located. I learned more with my cars control tonight, it felt great to have fun. Only issue I seen was how long it took per run. I was waiting at least 15 – 20 minutes per run but I had atleast 20 runs that night my gopro only got about 13 runs.
Also I want to shoutout to this guy, as it made my day to hear stuff like this and read it on instagram via #vegasdrift hashtag.

Vegas Drift Schedule – new mini series
Vegas Drift has split its ProAm up with a new focus called Spirit of the Streets mini series. This is geared towards the grassroots of learning and fun with out the full rules of ProAm and not as competition with the vast iconic cars with the LSx swap or high powered Toyota engine 2jz making even the great drivers to push their current configuration to the edge and no longer it is fun. VD staff sees this and their answer is the Spirit of the Streets this year for mini in Vegas events as they progress with the South West ProAm series for Formula D license race.
I drive the Nissan RPS12 1987 SEv6 200sx and for me I am excited to see the spirits of the streets, it is a great practice ground for both fun and competition.

Working on something new.
Working on a new design and new feel on this new business venture here.
- New design is live, just need to fix the colors.
- Store Front is coming
- A lot of sections to be filled.
No forums, we are directing away from this due to the massive amount of spam bots. I do have a private facebook group for TougeSW that I will publish shortly for anything social media related.
