Happy Anniversary Evergreen.
Next weekends Formula drift event at Evergreen Speedway, Seattle, marks a great anniversary for me and the Dynamic Autosports team. At this event in 2009 we struck silverwear with a 2nd place podium finish. The event wasn’t without incident. We had a major collision with Vaughn Gitten as well as some other moments during the course of the Top32 but we return to this venue with fond memories and a renewed hunger to finally kick start our season.
This year has been fraught with disapointment for our crew. We have yet to score a single championship point and have been hindered with a string of really bad luck. Following the East Coast stint of the championship all of our cars have returned to the Lake Forrest headquarters of Dynaic Autosport and undergone a comprehensive overhaul to iron out the bugs and bring us back to battle spec.
Seattle is easily my favourite venue on the calendar. The high speed bank really seperates the men from the boys. There is zero room for error, let alone fear. The Subaru loves banked courses and our Hankook Tires perform brilliantly keeping us milimetres from the concrete perimeter on an extremely abrasive surface.
Without any pressure for championship position I can approach this event prepared to throw everything at the Evergreen circuit. For the sake of our team, sponsors and supporters I hope that the luck of our crew will change and we can once again challenge for podium positions.
Dont forget to follow the event on the Formula D live stream. My luggage is packed, flights are booked , car is ready. All that remains is for me to find me some Irish four leaf clovers to try and turn our luck around.
Eric.
