JV’s 512 Project Recap, Part 2

512 AE86

Continuing from where we left off… Jonas Velasco’s 512 recap.

Woke up with the chickens Saturday and pulled the “dynamic duo” around to the front of our sanctuary to outfit the corolla for the masquerade ball; a pair of flares for the rear haunches were employed just to fit the bill.

That’s what is known as poor posture due to a weak core boys and girls.

512 AE86-3

Saddle shoe on wheels folks.

After finishing up, we headed out for the 15 minute drive to our destination: Driveway Austin Motorsports.  The drive didn’t show any signs of 512 traffic or other signs of potential mobile hooliganism.

XDC Round 5 Dallas Flyer

Mark you calendars!

Attached in an email I received a few minutes ago, was the latest flyer for round 5 of the XDC national drift series.  The local Texas drift scene has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few years, and the pro and pro-am series have started to take notice.  As a result, one of the biggest events of the year is shaping up to be XDC Round 5 at Texas Motor Speedway, Sept. 25, 2010.  Mark you calendars everyone, and be sure to wear your NST colors!!!

Texas AE86 Day, 8-6-2010, Brought To You By NST

The 2nd annual NST 8-6 day, a full weekend this year!

It is no secret that the AE86 is an icon in the Toyota family, and is loved the world over.  We got word a couple years ago that people in Japan celebrate the sixth day of August every year, and so we thought, why don’t we do something like that in Texas?

This year, 8-6 falls on a Friday and provides a unique opportunity for us to turn the celebration into a three city, three day, affair.  Take a look bellow for our preliminary schedule of activities and check back often for updates…

Our road trip to the third round of the 2010 XDC in Summit Point, WV started in Houston, TX and we were excited to get our fill of “whips, chicks, drifts.”  A quick trip through Dallas, TX to pick up our good friend Stewart Leask( AKA  Steven Lusk) and his monster 240SX, and we would be on our way.  Thirty hours later and we reached our destination in West Virginia.
