Crazy how much of a difference taking the wing off makes for snapping to angle. Definitely helped unlock some techniques I’ve been trying to work on. Wish I tried it sooner 🎥: @_owenko #sr20det #s13 #drifting taken in Stratotech Park by @nicdown_

Been a goood year, spent half of it in the shop but the end results made it all worth it. Thanks to all the sponsors and everyone that helped support me throughout the year. Excited for 2024, need more of this soon!@whothehelliszack with the fire set 📸 taken in Mission Raceway Park by @nicdown_

Couple more touge clips from @fulllockvalley This was my 3rd and last run of the day

Downhill flows a little better on some corners but others not, the extra momentum helps with connecting the longer sections but is definitely way more intimidating. Video really doesn’t do the elevation change justice. Was certainly not my best driving but still a crazy fun time taken in British Columbia, Canada by @nicdown_

Full run up the mountain from @fulllockvalley

Only 2nd lap of the day, cold tires and was still shaking out the course, few mistakes here and there trying to figure out the best line, feel like a 4.6 and 3rd gear next time would help with connecting the top sections. Crazy fun road though and a pretty long course, need to do this again asap and do more than 3 laps taken in British Columbia, Canada by @nicdown_

Crazy times this past weekend driving touge at @fulllockvalley

Was just starting to get warmed up to the course and only got 3 runs up / down in before the turbo coolant hardline decided to spring 2 separate pinhole leaks and end my day early.

Unfortunate but those 3 runs up / down was some of the wildest times I’ve ever had in drifting. Never thought I’d get to do something like this so close to home. Can’t thank everyone involved enough for making this happen and letting me be apart of it

Definitely got some unfinished business on the mountain and hope to be able to go back again sometime in the future! taken in British Columbia, Canada by @nicdown_

Finally got the Silvia in the shop for the first time since moving in over 2 years ago. Excited to start chipping away at this thing

For those who don’t know, I bought this shell within a week of buying my hatch with the intentions of making it the main track car, and while the hatch quickly snowballed into filling that roll this thing went on the back burner for quite a while. Been slowly collecting parts for this thing over the years and doing some chassis prep, with no driving planned anytime soon it’s time I focus on this thing finally.

Going to take my time and turn this into a proper machine

T1 Jams with @liljchan

Trying to work on staying close on entry and not just closing the gap mid corner. Need to time transitions / feints a bit better and match angle more 🧐

In / out car clips of some turn 1 solos and questionably chaseable leads 😂. Not sure what happened to my handwork at the end of the 2nd clip either LOL. Feeling pretty consistent tho, got lots more clips to sort through still, might toss up a compilation on YouTube

Thanks for the clips @hartsonn_ @rob.hartson

Good trip out to strato this past weekend, wasn’t planning on driving here this year but needed some redemption after super d so decided last minute to drive up and get some more laps in with the boys

Car had some issues and my driving also felt a bit inconsistent the first day out, but was able to drive through the car troubles and managed to get 2nd in the big entry comp. Was a little too focused on line and wasn’t throwing as much angle to be able to get the win, coming for ya next time @bstrong___ haha. By the end of day 2 I got some consistency up and had a bunch of runs I was stoked on. Still gotta sort through all the clips

All that being said, think I’m about due for a bit of an extended break from driving to focus on some other projects and life stuff. Glad I’m leaving it on a high note tho, hoping to come back stronger than ever next year 💪 taken in Stratotech Park by @nicdown_
