Memories of Drift

Formula Drift is coming up, this weekend actually. I'll be attending which brings back some memories. I haven't been into drifting as much as I used to these days. I recall playing Gran Turismo 4 hours and hours everyday, watching Initial D and Video Option, and anticipating the day I would go to the movies just to play the Initial D game. I was quite the driftaholic, It was a dream of mine to compete in real life, instead of just the fantasy of games and tv. And of course with the support of my dad I had plenty of chances of making my dreams come true, I dreamed of an RX7 just like the Initial D character Ryosuke had. I got my hands to drive quite a few of those. Of course after I matured a bit, I learned to love the car for the car not what tv character drove it. Anyway I haven't been drifting for quite a while, I did have a bit of a crash last year, but that's not really what stopped me. Actually I don't really know why I stopped. My dad put me into dirt oval racing, its pretty exciting! But I miss drifting a lot. I'm really excited to go to FD, I haven't been out to one in I think two years? I remember going to the very first ones when drifting was still very new (2003?) I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures to share with you all. This event might respark my drifting love who knows?
