Breaking in the Thunderhill West Road Course

On August 2nd 2014 I participated in the inaugural Thunderdrift event on the new west section of Thunderhill Raceway.  The new track is amazing for drifting with its many combination corners, blind crests, and hairpins.  This was my last day driving the Ford V8 powered Nissan 240sx.  I went out in style with the freshly painted and body kitted car pulling long continuous drifts in the top of 4th gear.  I spent one lap in-particular linking the drift through the entire course, even connecting the two longer straightaways in 4th gear by swinging the rear end back and forth (manji-drift) and timing the line to hit the turn in point of the upcoming corner.  The car is now in the hands of its proud new owner and I have plans of getting back into more road racing and some hill climb events once Alea and I settle into our new home in Colorado.
