Headed to 100AW!

I spent most of last year working and getting re-established after starting a new job at Nissan.  We ran Sno*Drift last year with mediocre results, so the motivation to re-engage the sport has been difficult to muster.

I went to Sno*Drift this year to help Nathan and Aaron Usher, as well as Steve Nowicki and Jimmy Brandt, with their efforts.  Steve and Jimmy took home 2nd in the Sno*Attack 2WD competition, while Usher's left the event with the more dubious distinction of being one of the first rollover incidents at the event.

On our end, we've fought some chronic issues with our Muy Fuerte 2L 16V ABF powerplant.  To counter the constantly breaking front axles, we're going to try out the slightly longer MK3 front control arms and axles.  Blake @ http://www.carparts4sale.com/ got me set up with some control arms and drivers side axles on the cheap.

So the car is in the garage, jacked up, front wheels off, and I'm just getting into de-SnoDrifting it from 2011.  I see some bent sheet metal, plenty of rust, but hopefully once I get into the groove here we can start knocking out some of the prep work.

We're still alive.  More tomorrow.
