Gateway has only hosted 1 event so far, and 2 small practice sessions, and they are very new to the drifting scene, so they havent caught on to the helmet rule yet lol So yea, no helmets for us.

welcome, and nice car!

do you know dmitry by the way? i don't personally, but he's done some shoots for the magazine i work for (S3). i remember his name because the spell check didn't recognize it and tried to suggest "dirty salesman" for an alternate. anyhow, that's really random. i need sleep.

kyle! you STL guys rock, thanks for the warm welcome and letting us get some practice time in during your event. it was a blast from start to finish, i didn't really want to leave

.

the video you took with tracy's video cam was awesome from what i saw. she showed me the part when i was playing the cone game in the last demo and that shit was awesome!

. i thought i got close but i didn't think i was that close... wouldn't have believed it without the video

. i can't wait to see what else you guys got.

it was great meeting all of you guys, i'll have to make my way over to your site to check it out

Right on man, im glad teh video turned out well on her camcorder. It was really awsome having you guys up here, and like i said ya'll are welcome anytime, we had a blast. And i appreciate the show because i had so many people come up to me and say "Man, i didnt like drifting at all until today..." etc. So thanks for putting on a show for us!!
