Events; 26 Apr Drift Outtakes

Happy Labors Day!

We know that some of the cars were not featured, reason being it was getting to dangerous out there when up to 10 cars were on the track at any single time. Sure, camping out on the corner apex isn’t safe in the first place, but when up to 10 cars come heading your way, its hard to react when you’re shooting and getting ready to run at the same time.

On the other hand, we’ll be heading to the first night GRA event tomorrow see ya there!
