Control Freaks

this one was an interesting event. tons of good drivers, lots of st. louis representation, and a lot of us qualified for tandem in Southeast Drift events.

this event also marked the start of st. louis’s own Sad Panda Productions, a couple who dudes who have since been filming and editing videos of st. louis drifting.

here’s their first video!

and now, piiiiiiiiiics!

thanks to everybody who came out to drive, photographers for doing what they do, and especially marcos at Southeast Drift for putting on an awesome event!

KCDA held their first event last july out at heartland park topeka. quiet a few of us made the short trek out there across missouri and into the wastelands of kansas to participate. don’t believe me? well look below for evidence.

dangerdan out there driving the course

and crangle out at his only out of town event with us.

in closing it was a rather good event. it was ran really smoothly for it being a first event. then turnout was somewhat low, but that just ment more practice for the drivers there. good times!!
