1991 Nissan 240SX – Owned by AZlaoBOy
Around late 2001 I first discovered drifting when a friend showed me an Option video of some Japanese guys drifting on mountain roads. Thought it was the coolest thing ever so naturally I just had to try it myself. Bought a gray 1992 s13 hatch with extremely bad oxidation – AZ heat is killer on paint – but she drove great.
I was attending a lot out of state drift events because AZ didn’t have anything at the time. In 2004 Hankook Tires started a drift series in Las Vegas, NV. Which I placed top 3 six times and two first place finishes. Have done a few California drift events such as Falken Drift Showoff and Drift Day Comps but ultimately the goal is to complete in Formula D. Currently seeking sponsorship to compete in Formula D events. In the mean time I practice drifting with NASA-AZ out on our local road course monthly.
