Street Driven Tour X StanceWars – 2015

2015-09-26 15.51.17
Street driven was something random I never heard before or atleast came to Las Vegas, first off I tried really hard to get my s12 ready and yet when it came to I keep getting new problems. I have been working extremely hard getting my s12 ready and failed due to random problems that keep happening so never nor less my s12 did not make it like I wanted to and this being my birthday weekend it really has got me sad, I also got no family support so doing everything has been solo for me regardless how much this meant for me it was a fail. I can only do so much alone especially when I work during the days.

The event started at 10am, I showed up around 12 noon due to I slept in with very much needed rest. When I showed up, there was a lot of people as I expected a lot for the car show, others for the event. We had a few formula drift pro drifters out there shredding it up as I felt that Street Driven was a tour they put on in support for Formula Drift. I was loosing interest into the show mainly because of the mass amounts of LSx motors are running in this event, lsx swapped motor in a car is not a street legal car not in the state of Nevada that is unless allowed by DMV. Thus Street Driven was more of a show not about street driven cars.

Don’t get me wrong though, it was a fun show I wished there was more to it. I wished I would of had my car running in this event as I would of felt I would be the one S12 in the C class.

Stance wars was alright, alot I mean alot of BMW’s showed up in this one, it would of been nice to see like 4 isle of stance cars at this event though, as one time with Formula D when it was here in 2012 there wasn’t much and I went a head and took a sneak peak and parked my car next to them. 2015-09-26 13.42.46-2I was like notice me senpai notice me!

But as shown in this picture, there was a few nice cars out there I parked in the back out of the way as you may notice there isn’t a Toyota next to me or anything like that just chilling and thrilling.

There was a few nicely done VIP style Honda’s, 350z’s, and Subaru’s. A couple of datsun and a rat toyota truck.

I was actually stanced just in time actually for this event at least rocking new shocks and Canuck lowering springs all around. I was surprised the hits I got with my car how nice it was and so on. What was really funny was when the ae86 levin parked next to me they mistaken that as an s12. I kinda wished I would have had the time to washed her before I came to this event.

2015-09-26 14.47.13But still clean looking s12 sitting there I was trying to be off in the back away from others just to chill as it was my way to keep close to my car and chill.  The 86’s kept on showing up, as the day progressed there was 3 FT86’s and 1 AE86.

Back to the event, they had a few booths setup for selling T-Shirts and other “swag” as they call it.

They did a few parking sliding into the wall of boxes, and other MotoIQ Challenges with drifting a soccer ball into the goal, and around 6ish is when I left was the tire massacre where they burn out on a skid pad till the tires pop. That was when I seen it was a bit ok this is done with time to go before the traffic starts to get bad.

Overall it was nice to get out of the house and away from working in the garage for once. I wished my other s12 was up and running as I would have been getting some awesome seat time.
