Event Coverage: NST 5th Anniversary Drift Competition & Car Show Part 2.
They say a picture says a thousand words, and if that's true, we have a ton of things to say in this second installment of our coverage of the Drift and Show competition held at Gulf Greyhound Park in LaMarque, TX.
Who's got dat ass covered?? MAYDAYGARAGE!
Let's get to it.
Drift with a dash of Class: Justin Rogers’ Kouki 240sx
It's not easy building a car that not only turns heads, but also can take a beating at the local drift events. It's not easy building a drift car that not only has matching body panels, but can also get you around town without waking up the neighborhood with a super loud exhaust. And it definitely is not easy building a car that can stand out in a city that's 5.7 million people deep.
If you've been to any recent drift event here in Houston, TX, you'd be hard pressed to not notice Justin Rogers' vibrant red 1997 240sx sliding through the cones.
A drift car on Houston's Main St in Downtown??
You may remember this clean car from our past coverage of the September 13th drift event. After the tire smoke subsided, and the dust settled, we asked Justin if we could shoot his car for the Mayday blog.
Houston: One Clean 240sx
In the last few years, 240sx's have been synonymous with drifting. Although this is still true today, many people also have an image of a busted, tracked, beat-down, multi-colored and big bodykitted car teeming with dents and "drift damage". To many, this look is desirable and even sometimes considered "cool", and for some others, it just won't do.
Stance is everything. Please take notes.
