Vegas Drift!

Derrick and I have been anticipating this trip for months! It was supposed to be on our one year anniversary weekend but they moved it up to February, but we didn't complain. I am so proud of Derrick, he's living his dream (finally). This was the first step, and he did so great we will be going to the next event and hopefully at the end of the season Derrick can get his pro license! For  those of you who don't know what drifting is, just watch Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. You'll get the idea. We rode up following Trent  and we had Will and Lyndsey riding with us. The drive always sucks. 
We had a party in the back seat ;p
 It was packed! 
 Derrick sexy car, number 25!

Vegas Pro-Am! 

 Parade lap
Sexy Scoop.
 I've never seen him so nervous before!! 
 There was a hiccup with Will's car ):
 Packed!
 The only Subaru! 
Loved this car, hot pink with glitter

 Woo!
 Only drift truck!
 Top qualifying 16! Good job Derrick
 Everyone kept calling us Umbrella girls. So we became that (: 


The celebration for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
Derrick qualified which is really good. How it worked was everyone practiced first. There were 2 practice rounds for each  group. Even and odds. Odds went first then evens then odds and evens one last time. Derrick was an odd so he went first. First practice round he broke an axle, luckily he converted to an s13 suspension and everyone there had a spare one. He got back on the track and did amazing. After practice were qualifying rounds. Only 16 out of the 40 people qualified. You got two chances to qualify. Which ever score was higher was the score they took. Derrick qualified 9th. After qualifying rounds the qualifiers did tandum which is two people going together, and whoever is following has to follow the line of the leader as best as possible. Derrick went up against the only girl drifter. Beat her (: He then went against the top qualifier and it was super close and kind of cheap but he ended up losing to him. Which is okay because he still did an amazing job! The way it works is you get points each Vegas Drift session. There are four session. The higher place you get the more points you get for the end of season. At the end of the season they will take your points from all four sessions and the top 4 will get a pro license!
