the more southern part :)

on our 1000 miles trip we both got a bit sick of the air condition in our mercury grand marquis ls. so we decited to take a brake in a small hotel near charlotte after we drove thru the sehnandoah skyline drive.




the next day we arrived at Andy Sapp´s house. Still a bit exhausted but the weather in Atlanta was awesome - around 25°C.

Andy took us to Nashville Super Speedway for the Driftoberfest and the see some more of the crazy Team Rowdy guys.

I felt really bad at nashville, we had no sleep because we were driving thru the night and just arrived 1 hour before the gates opened. Still having a massiv flu i decited not to drive Andys car in this condition i was in.




thanks again to all the guys of Team Rowdy and especially to Andy and Lieze for their hospitality and for make us having an awesome time in Atlanta!

trip to our friends in the States

Axel a very good german Drifter and me decited to hit the east coast for some drift action.

On my birthday we took a plane to NYC. The next day we joined the D-UP! event wich was held by one of our friends at the awesome Monticello Motor Club. What a nice track, and what an awesome event.

some nice cars, some of them went sideways too ;)


drivers briefing





After this brilliant event we hit the City and startet our route to Altanta, Georgia.

Thanks to Andrew for his hospitality, we really enjoyed it.

judging at IDS Hockenheim

The heads of the IDS (international drift series) asked me to judge their Pro and Street class round at Hockenheim Oct. 2nd and 3rd.

With me was Harry Müller, a well known instructor. We designed a small but nice track in the paddocks of the Hockenheimring. The track was not that fast, but due to a very bumpy surface pretty technical.



I had good fun judging the event, even tho some drivers went crazy because of our decitions. But missunderstanding happens, when you miss the drivers briefing or half of it.

Like usual we had some discussions afterwards, but most of the drivers were happy with their score. Drifting is a judged sport, if you dont get what the judges asked for in the briefing, its hard to get a good result.

All in all the feedback was very good, and i was asked to do this again. And to the drivers who still think they get better results by complaining: stop complaining, and start drifting!
