What Did You Do This Weekend?

By John Coyle

On Friday, Rob, Sean and I bounced a little early, and went down to Pacific Raceways for a drifting exhibition. Bob from Drift Office and the Raceway’s Marketing Manager, Tracie Brandenburg, organized the event, which is set to become a series this summer. Some of the Northwest’s best amateur talent was on hand to tear up the track, and of course, there were a bunch of dope rides on hand. Matt Gehr and Bobby Rice both drove ’86 AE86s,  Earl Smith was behind the wheel of a ’90 Mazda RX-7—the back end was converted to a pick-up bed—and Victor Moore and Roland Gallagher each piloted wicked ’89 Nissan 240SX Coupes. We’ll have a bunch of photos posted in the events section tomorrow, and some professionally shot video posted in the next couple of weeks. For now, check out pics of all the cars after the jump. What did you do this weekend?

What no picture of the Mazdamino? The boys at Jalopnik will be sorely disappointed.

It looks like we had a similar weekend… I spent Friday and Saturday at Road Atlanta for Formula D round 2. Had an awesome time hanging out on the hill watching all the drifting. There were several full track races including champ car going on inbetween drifting. Awesome weekend all the way.
