On Saturday February 6th, Full Auto Motorsports put on one of the best driver oriented events possible. Two courses, one drift and one grip were prepared at Tropicana Field in their huge parking lots. With both courses running all day drivers were running out of gas before they knew it. My biggest gripe of the day: The fact that I was behind the camera and not out in my own car running the courses.
I am 90% sure this 99 spec red FD was running a V8 LS motor swap. It sure sounded amazing running the grip course, specially on the front straight away.
This silver E46 M3 was one of two M’s running the grip course all day. Both of them were running solid lines and quick lap times.
This red S14 had an amazing stance for a grip car. He looked solid in his course lines as well.
The grey Cressida was tearing up the drift course all day.
Not to mention the 1UZ sounded like a pissed off bull raging down the track.
When you carry a big lens it is not hard to find a driver ready to strike a pose.
Specially when he knows how to properly drift.
Leaving off, the driver of this 180 was incredibly consistent and laid down constant smoke trails.
At the end of the day, I really can’t think of any better way for drivers to practice. With something close to or if not more than 80 runs for the drift guys, there is no way a driver left without any improvement. I seriously need to get my own car running so I can take advantage of what Full Auto Motorsports has created.

Hi Scottie,
Great pics and write up! I own and drove the blue Mustang Mach 1 – is there any way I can get a copy of the full resolution version of the picture you have of my car? FullAuto is using it for their banner and I really like it – ideally I’m looking for the full resolution copy of both the picture itself and the banner (not sure if you made their banner or just supplied the picture). Please let me know – thanks!
Elliott I sent you an email.
