Now that we have Import Reactor Drift behind us, it’s time for the main course, Import Reactor Unlimited 2010. For those of you who having been hiding under a rock, this is the show where the best of the best compete for the year’s show bragging rights, and it’s all held at the Marriot Hotel in The Woodlands, TX, just north of Houston.

Wow. What. A. Weekend.
The week started with Smoky Nagata from Top Secret Japan tuning Nissans from Monday all the way through wednesday late night, and it closed with Import Reactor Unlimited and Anime Matsuri. But before the official and epic weekend got started, Import Reactor Drift was to be the opening ceremonies to Import Reactor Unlimited.

Wednesday was the last day for Smoky Nagata to dyno tune the last batch of Nissans in Houston which happened to be open to the public as well. Fans from all over stopped by Secret Services Auto to see the legend doing what he does best.

Before you start making fart noises and jokes because of my less than funny tagline, know that Victor Sun is a rising star right here in Texas. Victor has been drifting since 2006, but actually started drifting in California where most of the US based drifting comes from. In Cali, he attended numerous Drift Day events, and even started his own Drift group, 626 Drift Crew.

Before the glitz, glamour and hot women in bikinis that Professional drifting provides, at it’s core, drifting is an underground, grassroots type of automotive sport. These underground drift sessions take place mainly at night, in secluded areas typically around industrial parks. Alex Berrios, local drifter and 786Motoring groupie, will be taking his shot at Import Reactor Drift 2010, and by the looks of it, he has a damned good chance with his signature Balls-to-the-wall style.
Name: Alex Berrios
Height: 6 ft
Weight: 215 lbs.

Preference in Women: Love my bitches
Alex Berrios: if you know him, then you know he looks like this 24/7
As I write this post at 3am, I had just got back from Secret Services Auto about an hour away from where I stay. The dyno sessions are going well, and Smoky is relentless, and a true perfectionist when it comes to tuning. As soon as Nagata-san arrives to Secret Services, he puts on his game face and gets to work. He is a tuning machine!
Dammit Smoky! I told you! I can't read Japanese!
