So after an amazing weekend of Drift Evolution and then a day in Willows California for Thunder Drift Rd. 4, Justin Shreeve and I made our way to Kent Washington for our first Extreme Drift Competition at Pacific Grand Prix. Justin and I made our way from Medford Oregon to Portland via Greyhound and then to Kent in his girlfriends Ford Focus.
