September 6, 2007 What:Drift Mania Where: Toronto, Canada When: Aug. 18/19th What Happened:
I had heard great things about the Canadian Pro Series from friends who had attended in the past. JR and friends were headed up to do a Demo at the competition and JR had an extra spot in the trailer so i decided to throw the "Zombie Car" together real quick, mount up some tires and make the 11 hour drive with him and a couple other friends. Saturday was stricly practice. I found out quite a few things that day....1.) My car was fast as hell with the extra 60hp Ray had tuned out of it for me right before the Chicago demo!!! 2.) This track is bumpy as all hell and i was gonna have to soften up my suspension as much as possible 3.) Some of the Canadian Pro guys are pretty damn good!!!! 4.) I was the only american competing in the series!!! 5.) I was the only car on dunlop tires out of the entire field. It took me awhile to get the track down and find the right line through all the bumps, but i ended up nailing it every time by the end of the second and last practice of the day. I was coming in SUPER fast, with boat loads of angle, and my entry was earlier than anyone elses according to my "spotters". I left the track that day with confidence and proceeded to go out and raise hell in downtown Toronto with my friends.
Sunday comes around and im feeling great from all the partying we did the night before! . About 4 runs into my only practice sunday my clutch pedal starts intermitently going to the floor and not returning. "oh crap... this is my only practice for the day before qualifying!!!" I hustle back into the pits and start diagnosing the problem. After going through every pc of clutch hydraulics on the car Kevin(Chris Forsbergs mechanic) and I are pretty sure its a bad master cyl. Luckily one of the amateur drivers brought a spare!!!!! I swapped in back on in no time however i still missed all of the 2 hour practice pretty much. Qualifying..... well.... i ended up qualifying 4th for top 16. I think i was off line a hair here and there. Then i come through in Top 16 and run a Fellow named Trudel... who is very good and he put the pressure on me somthin fierce on the first run. Second run he wasnt so lucky as he blew a fuel pump fuse and i passed him on the outside. Top 8 here i come!!! Again.... i made it through... even though all day i was super inconsistent and couldnt really nail anything repetativly. I had a one more time with a Green Lexus that ended up spinning right in front of me. Luckily on that run i went around him on the inside and moved on to Top4. Top 4 round was when i went against the the #2 points leader of the series. He also Spun and that put me in the battle for 1st and second. I charged hard on my first run... i was leading this time and sadly.... my incositency kicked in and i missed my 2nd to 3rd downshift and straightened out right in front of the judging stands! Bummer..... Well, my second run i followed and was ALLLLLL over the guy... however it just wasnt good enough to make up for my mistake on the first round. Either way i was happy to come up and take 2nd place home with me!!!
