Working till 1:00am is never a good thing. I got home after work and was in bed and asleep by about 3, leaving 4 hours till my desired time to get up and leave for the Golden Gardens car meet... With most people showing up at 8:00.

My alarm woke me up bright and early, 10:30am, wait what?! AH #%&$@!!! The year before the exact same thing happened. I was out the door with my gear in less than a minute, and then went back inside to get some pants. 



The drive down was fast and as I got close I could see quite a few cars that decided to leave early, but plenty of cars still left when I arrived. I decided against parking my Accord in with the rest, and parked it by a cop who was pulling people over who thought they could drift around one of several great corners.



The event was put on in part by Northwest Nissans, and the parking lots were packed, cars driving around and the occasional tourist trying to find a parking spot and wondering what was going on.





I shot what interested me, many great looking cars out there and events like these are always great to just tune in your skill behind the lens. I'm not one of those people who shoots every stock 240 there is and post them all, I shoot what looks good or interesting. If you want to get coverage, you can't look like the rest, gotta set yourself apart!



The event started dying down in the afternoon, but not before NWN had their raffle, some sweet prizes given out, and the announcement of the winner of the Formula Drift Sponsorship, Walker Wilkerson. Good luck out there Walker!
