Haha. The brown car is an '82 ke Toyota Corolla. It's running a forged CA 18 turbo'd motor. Makes about 270rwhp but soon to be about 350 with a new computer, cams and E85. Weighs about 700kg so makes for a bloody quick little car.

Who cares what the cars look like - that must have been a blast of an afternoon ! Anytime you get to drive the snot outta your car is a great day in my book !

I loved the tire smoke pouring out of the fuel door on the Sylvia. Bad ass action and certainly some skills there. Drifting's never been my thing, but I know a good time when I see one!

It wasn't a practice, just dudes beating on cars in a warehouse before it gets torn down.

Maybe it was short notice?

I race motocross, several times a year someone will call and say so and so is coming over to ride and he is bringing a buddy, do you want to ride? I usually load up the bike, still a mess from the last outing and head over. Should I have said I need to wash the bike first and replace the tweaked front fender so it looks good? Before I head over? I most certainly take the time to prep the bike before a race or a planned practice, but when the chance to ride comes up unexpected, I jump on it, bike a mess or not!

I think getting your a$$ handed to you by a POS looking car on the track will earn respect too
