1992 Nissan 240sx & 1985 Toyota Corolla GT-S - Two To Touge

Sliding around corners and fast canyon runs-sounds like a typical day in LA, not the midwest.

David now spends the majority of his weekends at Origin USA messing around with his car, whether it's adding more parts or practicing drifting. Drifting became so much a part of his life that he requested a transfer at work, from Michigan down to Chicago so he could be closer to his friends (he had been driving back and forth every weekend he could). With each Midwest Drift Day, he's there; in fact, he hasn't missed a single event. Recently, he won his first Drift Day award at the fifth Drift Day competition. David remarks, "It was a memorable moment for me with my car. I didn't place, but it basically means the judges liked me." We're sure he'll start placing in no time.
