As our team enters the eighth year of drifting, we look back at all the great events of 2014. We continued to pursue a Pro-Am license, continued to have a blast at local events, and continued to improve.

We started the year back at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, CA. ThunderDrift held a fun event on the original 3-mile track. We watched from the paddock as the West section continued construction.

Jose had the fighting spirit in 2014. His old S13 war-horse was showing signs of age. Although his SR20DET produced a respectable 320HP, even at a Pro-Am level his car was underpowered. The battered chassis did not produce the same mechanical grip as other competitors and left Jose at a disadvantage

We followed Faruk Kugay the rest of the Golden Gate Drift Pro-Am season.

Can't forget about All Star Bash!

Once ThunderDrift annouced their dates for Thunderhill West, we immediately signed up. The new 2-mile addition was a refreshing Thunderhill Raceway experience. There will be many more events here in 2015.

Of course Sonoma Raceway was a big part of our 2014. Summer Jam, Winter Jam and the numerous Wednesday Night Drift events, Sonoma Raceway has become Northern California's premiere drift raceway.

 

2015 here we come.
