Mexican Standoff 2010

brockstar — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 02:03:54 +0000

The Mexican Standoff hosted by Fabricated Motorsports turned out to be a super rad event, with lots of prizes for the drivers, and some of the closest tandem action Texas has ever seen. Slide Factory’s Kyle managed a smoking third place qualifying run, while Brock qualified an unfortunate 14th place. For those unfamiliar with the competition format, this put Brock and Kyle up against each other in the first round. Kyle gained advantage on the second set of runs, advancing him to round two where he would be paired against eventual winner of the event, Chelsea DeNofa. Our newest driver, Teo Tompkins, had another good day of progression in his s13 missile car. With any luck, his car will gain some functional and appearance upgrades in the near future.

With a heat index rumored to be near 120 degrees, and surface temperatures of undetermined value, Mineral Wells was still the place to be. The pit area was full of tents linked together like motorsports fortresses. Everyone stayed hydrated and as cool as possible throughout the day and into the early evening. It’s safe to say that the competition was as hot as the weather. Welcome to Texas.

First day?

Say hello to Teo Tompkins, Slide Factory’s newest official driver. The following photos are from last week’s BHF drift event. It was Teo’s first time ever to legitimately attempt drifting, and also the first time ever to drive his new s13 project. Two tire changes later and he was already performing transitions and shifting gears while in drift – pretty much unheard-of stuff for the first day. Teo just happens to be Brock’s younger brother and roommate, so expect progression to come quickly. Also, as you can see, he needs a pair of metal s13 Silvia fenders and some sort of Silvia hood, so please let us know if you have something local! On to the pics… *Photos courtesy of Alissa Ford

Lonestar Bash 2010!!!

Welcome to the largest drift event in Texas, the infamous Lonestar Bash held by Fabricated Motorsports!

I’m super psyched to see this picture all over the internet, with my car in the foreground. Now check out some of the videos below, and be sure to keep a lookout for our cars – we were blessed with some really neat shots!

Kyle’s car ran like a top all day long, transforming a mountain of used rubber into a smoky haze with ease. My car suffered a couple small issues – a bent tie rod and a broken front bumper. Once the tie rod was replaced, my car smoked up the Federal 595′s all day, until suffering a broken downpipe, indicating it was time to put the car back on the trailer. Now that everything is repaired, look for us to be out again soon.

We decided to go play around for a short amount of time in a mostly uninhabited area.

If you don’t know yet, Mishimoto has stepped up to support drifting in a real way. If you’re an active drifter, they are offering seriously legit discounts on their products. Very few companies support drifting, so check out MishimotoLovesDrifters.com to find out all of the necessary details. And even if you’re not a drifter, definitely look at Mishimoto.com and find the solution to your cooling needs. I was running Mishimoto products even before this program started, so you can be sure that I will continue to do so.

Fabricated Motorsports drift event at Grand Sport Speedway in March 2010. This was a great event, and I was able to get so much more footage thanks to Epic Action Cameras, even despite some critical problems with the car early in the day.

Please be tolerant of my video and editing quality – I’m already editing beyond my means with the meager software I have. I’m slowly saving for my coveted iMac.

So much more organized. Ignore extra harness pieces, they are to be removed for ECU operation.

Boost gauge relocated to steering column, AEM gauges installed on pillar.

Coming together, falling apart.

All of the new aero is test fitted and good to go. I’m not currently running the front bumper until I devise a better mounting solution to work with the vent in the nose. Overall, I think that G-Corp’s Flash kit is going to make this car super hot once painted.

This is my second event in the s13. It still has a few bugs to dial out, but I’m really enjoying the car so far. The last Fabricated Motorsports event of the year was fun and laid back as usual. Unfortunately, this video is nowhere near what I thought it would be due to my GoPro starting to crap out on me. The good news is I’ve picked up a sponsorship from a different camera company, so we’ll see what the future vids look like.
