Drift Posse + DMCC = :)

Last weekend marked the first DMCC Event of the season. St.Eustache would be the venue for a weekend full of excitement and I had the priviledge to experience it…Drift Posse style.

Drift Posse drivers Pat Cyr, Brad Carlton and Peter Chrisikopolous, fresh off the dyno were all prepped for a great weekend. Below are just a few shots of the action…

After laying down a few great practice runs, sadly Peter had a run in with the wall that lines the first bank of the course. As you can expect, any time you drive a car at 80+kph into a wall there is going to be some carnage.

Before…

After…doing some track side repairs. This was the pulling system we rigged up with a Suburban and a guard rail

After a full day of effort, we decided the car could just not get back onto the track for the next days events. Rather drag it home and fix it properly and safely. Not to worry…Peter will be back.

So…that was the bad news of the weekend…it only get’s better from here

On day two, the qualifying took place and while a number of the drivers were laying down some great runs, Drift Posse drivers Brad and Pat bubbled to the top, qualifying 1st and 2nd respectively. It was great to see and hear the fans going crazy when these two guys were on course, and when the paddocks opened, the crowds came to see the cars and meet the drivers.

So onto the big show…and Pat and Brad continue to lay down some impressive runs. Brad moves through the great 8 to the top 4 but sadly Pat gets knocked out by Dave Briggs (also a U2NDyno.com tuned car). Pat had a slight issue with his throttle cable that rendered his little AE86 motionless.

So Dave takes out Pat, but Brad defends his Drift Posse brother by serving it back to Dave in their battle that followed. Brad and Dave both drove their asses off but the judges ended up giving Brad the decision, winner of 3rd place and his first trip to the DMCC podium. Congrats “Bad” Brad Carlton.

Brad celebrating with his Drift Posse umbrella girl.

Other honerable mentions for the weekend are Mats Baribeau who was holding his own in his first ever pro event and Justin Forsyth, who found out that 511rwhp may be fun for him, but not fun for his Z32 tranny’s 3rd gear.

Also, congrats to Marc Landerville for the big win and Matt “the Wolf” Waldin for a strong 2nd. I’m happy to say I actually helped Marc with an ECU issue the night before the event and he went on to win the whole event. That’s cool.
