Default Formula Drift '08

First time ever going to a drift event. It was pretty fun. Cool people, sweet cars, but crappy weather. Decided to leave a bit early because of the rain, but it was still a good time. Anyone else go?

Here's a few pics I took from the event:














More can be seen on my flickr:

Its Ken Gushi's new car. If I remember correctly, its powered by the Turbo MR2 motor. The car was having a few problems though. They announced over the PA that he had transmission issues and that he lost neutral somehow.

The Yaris was legit!
RWD and a bunch of high quality parts.

I think someone said there is video of it on mospeed.com?

Going to check it out right now...

From what I read on the mospeed site -
The motor is still N/A with a few custom modifications (header, intake, exhaust)
