Well it was an epic night for us here in Miami as we drifted the night away. We may not have an awesome venue like OSW, PBIR, or CFRC but we make the best of what we have at Countyline and have some of the best events like we saw last night.
With Capt Ben on the mic giving a well informed commentary of the drift action to the local crowd ( mostly full of drag race fans expecting to be watching 1/8 mile drags which is the norm for Countyline Dragway), Capt Ben was able to help educate the captivated audience as well as point out even the smallest corrections by the drivers. No mistake was left unnoticed by the keen watchful eye of the Capt!
Also the local new drifters were receiving some expert driving instruction and coaching by The Legend Dr. Obi Juan Henao Drifter Extraordinaire, which I would like to mention is one of our # 1 goals at all Drift Session events. That is to help educate, instruct, and encourage new drivers in a chill and welcoming atmosphere, which I believe we do best!
Not to mention the highlight for many drivers, our special guest Mr Fredric Aasbo! Those of you that were there in time for the drivers meeting were able to shake hands with one of Formula Drift's top drivers. I had the honor of having Mr Aasbo at my house for a few hours prior to the event and all I can say is Fredric is one of the humblest guys I've met. Upon arriving at Countyline to start setting up the event, Fredric, Eikki (Mr. EstPerformance) and myself were able to set up the track and give it a few test runs as Aasbo took out the battered and tattered E30 for a few laps. When he told me he made the special trip down to Miami just to meet the locals I was amazed!
I would like to thank Fredric for coming down. We will be cheering him on next week:bigthumbu
And last but not least I wanna thank team Jackson Performance :rockon:
I would not have been able to do it if it wasn't for their help! Rich running the line and techin cars, Keith holdin down the pit area, and Chris for driving his butt off. I see a bright future for Chris Jackson and his crew, as he is finally taking the time to focus on building a solid car and show us that he is not playing around anymore.... Well maybe a little lol.
Thanks to all the drivers and be sure to support the local guys at PBIR next weekend! Till next time.........
