Slip, Slip, Grip, Spin.

The first Capital Drift practice of 2010 and what an explosive start. With at least 17 cars in attendance there was a huge variety of cars, power and skill level.

After backing it into the wall at Western it looked like it's drift days were numbered. There's still some work to be done but it should be track ready for the January 17th practice.
