whoaa… wasnt around for this…:frowning: why did this stop… from the pics it looks like it had a decent turnout

that event looks like good times

WOW, Im going to check this out hahahaha!! Haven’t seen him for years. After he sold his car, driftnation was no more once wayne and kendrick and alex left, or split up, i dont really know what happened. And he fell off the map!

Wow, some old school pics of Farms, Kman, and Marco.
That’s pretty cool.

What was the powerade centre called back than?

Looks like it has more history than I thought.

Brampton Civic Centre. When did they call it the Powerade Centre?

lol i rember these event like they happened yesterday !!, but i was 15-16 back then lol soo long

Thanks to my brother and DN, these were the events that made me want to be drifting today ( and day dream about it till i could) and prolly keep drifting part of my life for a long time lol,

Trip down memory lane! :stuck_out_tongue:

Still got 2 advan 19" R comps with team oranges signatures all over them and a few shirts somewhere lol… CHUNKY BAI!

wow. I m such a noob.

hahah was that bing at the son booth? baha>?

haha fuck, and farmer…and marco ssantos wtfffff!!! the number of familiar faces still to the drift scene is incredible. Im a fucking noob also fml :frowning: why was i not there :frowning:

oh man…where the hell was I? OH yah…didn’t have a car at the time as I wasn’t even of age lol. Weird seeing Haig and Marco over here.

that is one famous SON photo! brought me back just to comment on that. I got an autographed shirt I never wear also.

I posted about that awhile back :stuck_out_tongue:
He has a WRX now, we talked cameras for a bit, talked cars for a bit. He said he misses RWD, and that the new WRX is too soft.

chasing girls or drifting (back in the 00’ era), that’s a pretty hard choice.

but hey, at least i got a good taste of the scene :slight_smile:

i remember seeing one of those cars going in to the wall…was it a signal car? omg that was so long ago. I miss my black corolla back in the day…It was in a booth on that signal day at mosport for some mag.
those were the fucking days!

ouch.

i guess “if you aint crashing you aint trying hard enough” rules applies to the drift scene too… :smiley:

Yeah…sorta thats my buddy in the last pic! hes gonna shit when he sees this! But thats not his car lol

The day after DX1 I started looking for a 240, 6 months later bought a black S14 and still got it.

What I loved about that event was how close you could get to the drifting. No sitting way back in the stands. You could stand pretty much at the curb with the Signal cars getting as close as possible. I remember leaving I was just filthy from all the smoke, dirt, rubber.

hahaha holy shit man. memory lane! i was a spectator at DX1 and event staff at DX2. i have so many stories from both…

all my other pics are on the hard-drive of my computer that just crashed, so i still have to transfer them to my new laptop.

but i do have this one on facebook! 6’5 me trying to fit into 5’5 Kazuhiro Tanaka’s car.

Looks like a fat chick jumped on his car… how does that happen haha
