Zucru

The October 2008 issue of Performance Auto & Sound Magazine (PASMAG) is a big one for Zu heads. It features a DTP Winnipeg writeup by yours truly and pics of ZuCru friends:

Brent Mills’ G35
Dannie Riel
Danville’s Midori Green Civic
Tony Swartz’s Yoshio Pink S2K
Speedtech’s NSX
Lyndon from AccessWinnipeg

In addition this is also new ZuCru member Gail Tolentino’s(initial_gt) first set of published pictures. Gail shot local tuner Anthony DeGuzman’s (of local Twinz fame) monster G35. The article is written by my good homie Dave Pankiew and he throws in some good comments about Winnipeg.

Big ZuCru issue so you better cop it soon as the November issue will be out very shortly!

It was a great time in Edmonton thanks to my hosts.  I enjoyed the ride alongs and meeting all the DMCC drivers and Formula D personalities.  There is absolutely nothing like a live drift event.  Watching it on video does nothing like experiencing the sights and smells of being at the track. I must have gotten  the equivalent of a full tire in my nostrils and hairs from all the flying tire particles!

In car video of me inside Team BFGoodrich’s GTO’s.
