too fast too live too tired to fall asleep

I have been going crazy lately. Working,Nopi,Clubloose,House,dogs,finding a new car. I dont know how people get shit done. I need adderall more than ever. Anyway.. i have been trying to update and i get like 3 in a row and then lose steam. So i will add something every day even if its stu[id and even if you comment and say its stupid.. So tonight i talked on the phone with Vaughn Gittin Jr.

He said he liked the new DA shirts topics and i busted our asses on (more topics than me) So in celebration of our hard work go buy a shirt. Tell them i sent you so we can make more and i will feel like our hard work is getting noticed. . Its hard to go from like 20 designs and cut it down to like 5 hoping people will buy them..Especially since most of the designs i come up with (ideawise) i want to go to print.

DA clothing is a labor of love for topics and I and we try to work with new artists as well as our old favorites. I would love to do this shit for a living however its not to that point yet. I am an idea man so im looking for a few good artists. We are trying to get to 5 new designs a season spring/summer/fall/winter and keep around the ones that sell.. We will also be doing some limited edition shit this year.. So if it says limited you better buy buy buy cause once they are gone they are gone.

go buy some shit
THE DA SHOP
I am so sleepy its time to hit the sacek

Leave me some comments to wake up to

Aint no team like a DA team cause a ........

So its luke warm off the presses , but Drift Alliance rolled all competition in Long beach.... Yes ALL OF THEM..

Drift Alliance the most winningest team in American drift history (i will check and get back to you on that fact) killed it on "the streets" bro.

here is an amazing quote from urban racer

"Sunday's main event witnessed Team Drift Alliance put on a clinic, as the threesome of Tony Angelo in the Maxxis/Mazdaspeed RX-8, Chris Forsberg in his NOS Energy Drink/Maxxis 350Z, and Vaughn Gittin, Jr. in the Falken/Ford Racing Mustang GT significantly raised the bar in the budding sport's standards. The trio's flawless parallel pirouette through the Turn 11 hairpin, complete with smoky tire destruction, will go down in drifting history."


DEAL WITH THAT DRIFTING WORLD!!

This is your DA Class Of 2008!!!!!!

A sweet ad for Drift Alliance
Brothers forever!

Earthquakes, Monsoon rains, and a banged up shin cant stop an event.

Day One:
Thursday night
So after a terrible showing in Moroso, I wasnt going into NOPI St Louis with a lot of confidence.... The first thing to go wrong happened shortly after stepping off the plane in St louis. I was tired from traveling all day and excited to be hanging out with Rob Fleming (another NOPI Judge) again and wasnt paying attention to where i was going and BAM! i slam my shin into one of the rows of chairs in the Airport. Great 10 minutes in the state of MO and im ready to go home. Strike one.

Upon arrival i met the "new guy".. Jason Jiovani, Apparently Jason did the whole nopi season last year and drives pretty awesome. Jason is a ripping dude, knows his shit and works hard man.
You might know him from ripping this machine..

Anyway, so we are heading through St Louis and then bam we end up in Illinois. So im all "What the fuck i thought this is Nopi St louis... turns out the track isnt even in Missouri its in Illinois!
You can see the gateway to the west aka The St Louis Arch from the track we ran "Gateway Int Raceway".
Here is a picture i took of it when we went out for karaoke. More on that later.


Day Two:
So Friday we go to the track and its raining crazy off and on all day.. During the night we had an EARTHQUAKE! Yeah it was my first one i ever lived through.. and i woke up for like a second.. then went back to bed..

I dont get "Phased" by earthquakes man.. I mean like i cant believe how fast they are . California is a bunch of sissy's always crying about the earth trying to swallow them up..

The gang at Adrenaline Motorsports were running a qualifier and the track conditions looked terrible. All of a sudden the sky opens up and its pouring.. Like buckets and buckets, Cats and dogs, whatever you want to call it, its raining hard. Doppler says the end is not in sight and we cancel the rest of the day ... Sorry St Louis .
Here is a picture of the ground that Wrecked took... it was wet man.. and the wind broke a patio umbrella in half... thats a fact. I didn't take pics cause i like to keep my camera working.


Saturday:
Saturday starts practice it was cloudy and cold.. I was shivering the whole time.. All i had was this crappy childs rain coat with a fake fleece liner that we bought from walmarts. I was mega cold. I watched some practice then tandem practice... then i went to karoke in down town st louis.. Killed some of my favorites and hung out with this guy.. he lent me his chain for the picture so i could set my street cred meter through the roof! Then he karaoke RAPPED!
Thats how they do in the STL dogggg!


Sunday:
So practice is over. We went straight into qualifying.. after the smoke flew away the sun came out and the qualifying ladder looked like this.

To the Topics at hand!

Well the first round of Formula D has come and gone.. On the Podium, above the Number 1 stood CL legend Chris Forsberg. Chris has made all the right calls in the realm of professional drifting and being a natural hasnt hurt either. Congrats to the whole Forsberg Racing Team. Good luck for the rest of the season...
Love Clubloose!
Chris Forsberg Racing!

Dear Syn ... Thankyou.

So when i came back from Miami there was a sweet package from Syn Lee. He sent me a sweet shirt from his company Drift 411 Poke around on there the site is radical..These guys do lots of stuff but what i like about Syn is he loves skateboarding.. And this is the shirt he made. This little beauty is an homage to Thrasher magazines' "skate and destroy" shirt made popular in the late 80's or early 90's
Brilliant Syn... brilliant!

The daily grind!

So i said earlier that i gots me a new J-O-B. This new job has been taking a lot of time out of my day, but the good news is its fun. I started working at R/T Tuning in Lansdale PA. Its quite a haul (about hour and 20 minutes each way) but the shop is busy and HUGE! I have never worked at a shop this busy. Thats why i have no time to rap on the interweb. But R/T got all the sweet shit to build rad cars.
Dyno .....Check!
This is where i can find out my corolla is still slow as shit
Sweet alignment rack..


Check!
This is where i can find out that giant pothole on the highway knocked my alignment around like a battered wife.


This is the office where you can find me. Slaving away answering ?'s about what head makes most pony's when paired with a B20 Block.... i still dont know..

The best part of hanging around here all day is working with Pat Dulcey and his car.
Pat is awesome and does most of the hard/dirty work around here.(thank god)
You may know Pat from such shows as "I have the sweetest FC ever Built"

Oh yeah Pat Owns this gem of an FC..
Fucking deal with THAT!
Attention magazine dudes... get to this car before someone else does..... for real!
call pat at the shop... 215-855-5565 (or me if you are bored)

But back to my drive.. I drive forever to get here.. In passing here is some of the shots i see on my way to work.. I have been really into scenery pictures as of late. Bucks County is a treasure trove of old shit... houses,roads,broads, you name it .. Bucks county PA is old as dirt and its real rural still.. that means i see cool stuff you don't see every day if you live in the suburbs or the city.



These houses look to be American Revolution era..
Thats a horse... those hangout along the side of the road all over the place.

This is the Pineville Tavern.. which is on Durham RD in Pineville PA. Its in the middle of no where..According to Susans dad has really good Stew and a great variety of beers on tap.
So thats that... cant wait for motorcycle weather to explore PA a little more.

So i have been on hiatus

So due in large part to running crazy , getting a new job and trying to actually sleep a little has hindered my attempts at "bloogging" doggggg!.So with that said im gonna get to work on doing this every day from now on. Even if its annoying as hell, i will in fact do a recap from AZ to now. Shit is bonkers "y'all" , so gimme a break. This blog will rise from the ashes like a phoenix... lets hope it is back on track by next week.. Sorry!

But in the mean time here is a picture from testing at E-town in the RT Tuning 240sx
