Competing in TXSL with my Missile 350z

**The Art of Drifting and Car Enthusiasm**

We're ready to have some fun and get our drift on! I'm feeling the rush, stay pinned, I threw a lot of angle, probably more than I should have. The run was sloppy, but that's what makes it exciting, right? I got to put it on him, but that was terrible, through way too much angle. It sounds like using a technique on me - yikes! Car keeps filling up with smoke, "dupa car go away" smoke, yikes, good save his poor bumper, yeah, you're good! His run was kind of hard to follow, he was going super slow and weird outside.

**The Thrill of the Final Four**

We're in the final four now, by the way, up against Patrick. He's a really good driver, normally wins, but I'm feeling confident. I've got advice for the lead on him - should I throw a lot of angle since his car is fast? Or what should I do? The lead thinks throwing a lot of angle might be the key, but it's not that simple. Patrick's car is hard to follow, and he did a really good job following behind me.

**A Tribute to Texas Drivers**

I've got to say, drivin' in Texas drivers are rad! This is a long conversation, I don't know if I was going to lose to anyone who would definitely be Patrick. He's such a great driver, and I'm not sure what it would take for me to beat him. Apart from the chaos, Alexie's year has been amazing, and I'm so grateful to have her as my partner.

**A Bittersweet Moment**

But, unfortunately, there's some bad news about an event in Japan. They built a replica of my 32, which is actually sold in Japan, and it looks even better than the real one! But, something went wrong - it came back with funny issues. Gasps, I'm shocked! It sprayed coolant at the exhaust, and that's not good. It's likely the car has been modified too much.

**A Pro-Am with a Twist**

I've got some exciting news to share. I've decided to participate in a pro-am event with Alexie's team, and she'll be driving my car! Well, technically, it's my car from 350 L. I've never driven a left-hand drive before, but I'm up for the challenge. It's not every day you get to drive a new car, especially one that's designed for the American market.

**A Brief History of Drifting**

Did you know that many drifters in America start with cheap cars like the Zed or AE86? They're affordable, simple, and easy to handle - perfect for beginners. I've been told that there are fewer 350 C models available in Japan due to emissions regulations and cost constraints. These cars were designed for the American market, but they didn't quite fit in with Japanese tastes.

**The Thrill of Drifting**

I was at an event recently where I saw a guy driving a G35 - it was new to me! The drift scene is always evolving, and I'm excited to see what's next. Alexie and I will be checking in to see how everything goes. It's going to be a fun event, and I'm looking forward to the experience.

**The Art of Drifting and Car Appreciation**

Driving in Texas is all about having fun with your car. I've been fortunate enough to have some amazing experiences with my 350 L, including participating in a pro-am event with Alexie's team. This car is special, and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to drive it and share its story with others.

As we wrap up this article, it's clear that drifting and car enthusiasm are all about having fun and pushing the limits of what's possible. Whether you're a seasoned driver or just starting out, there's always something new to learn and discover in the world of drifting.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys poof we're in Texas it was there with me can we do here exactly one year ago yeah it's crazy huh yeah a lots changed a that my own farm I drove my own truck and trailer Taylor brought I left me out of here so I can finally run with him with the s13 I forget how many friends and awesome people are out here look mess curse here and his D I'm gonna crash into him and get payback for when he pushed me in Oz but rush me out for it Lucy's here Alexi Sierra from Japan driving the 32 so many people we're at the Houston Police Academy there's Starbucks in my hand today is Texas free legal so I'm going to compete in that with the Z and it's kind of exciting for me first time in Texas I've had my own car that they don't care about and these dudes are ruthless like she was back yeah so street legal today program tomorrow I'm gonna run that's 13 just to drive more but I think we're about to get to go out hell yeah brother Elliott I think my gearing is gonna be done but I'll figure it out right there all right so it's been pretty hectic clever trying to get some seat time in the Z get comfortable driving again so in a pop to go karana just teasing people around for a bit I mess around with the tire pressures that a track is pretty tight so the most I can out of that car I'm gonna do what I usually do for these guns I'm gonna trying to set up a like helmet camera with audio in car and then for out of car I'll have like a camcorder I've shown up there with a camcorder but for the first round I don't have time to set up my mic so it's just gonna be helmet camera with no sound maybe I'll double breath I don't know alright so my first battles against another similar wise fevzi Aubry and this blue and neon green Z he's a really good driver do you say you smoke a lot of weed alright noted put down to the door his what he's a telling me to do I'm listening to some good old knocked loose to get the blood pumping you know I wonder if we'd legal in Texas he's got CBD stickers all over his car if not he might have just admitted to a felony on my YouTube video so given his condition I don't know if I should put it on his door or not but I'm just gonna have fun I really like my Z it's a good car it's been a while since I've been able to talk in a car is usually minus 15 is so loud but we'll just have some fun not my cleanest follow in the world but I did okay I think some reason my car felt super weird on that corner like an over centered or something I think maybe I was just overthinking it probably he definitely initiated past the initiation cone it's probably all the weed he's a really nice guy though I don't like you guys to think I'm talking badly about him fizzy smokes weed for all we know it could be the eagle in Texas I don't know and so what appears to be a pretty stock 370z it's actually not low cz like you guys might remember from last time if you're familiar with street legal it's pretty cool it may look like it's a spec 350z drifting tournament because so many people choose these because they're inexpensive and work well but it's basically a series with regulated cars in the sense that they just need to have stock drivetrain or drivetrain that comes from the factory in the car so like you get them at a thirteen with an SR or anything but you can't really modify turbos or add forced induction or change inductors so you're kind of limited to all these cars that are pretty on par and I would say usually s Thirteen's with an SR or Z's tend to win although Corvettes have become very very popular since they're phenomenal but I've yet to see anyone really excel in a Corvette I don't know if that's a driver thing or I don't know if they're too fast compared to other cars but definitely I think one of the best street-legal cars you can drive from the cars that I've driven my car super-weird on that first entry like it it likes to understeer and stuff I think maybe I'm running out of gearing I should go up a gear but I almost crashed into him hopefully they don't deduct me for that but he kind of took me out cuz he was going so slow I don't know we'll see let's see what happens with him I don't know this is just fun it's more driving instead of sitting and watching as much as I'd like to watch everyone where are you going guy let's get it good thing for AZ I don't know my car's filling with smoke kind of weird maybe because I have one window open maybe something's like coming in through the back or something since we heard car doesn't only get smoky it looks like now we're gonna be going up against a yellow c6 Corvette he's a really good driver I've been with him a bit today his car isn't as fast as you would think it would be for a Corvette so I think we'll be ok but the one thing you will have an advantage over me on is that that straight which can be kind of tricky not the straight but on that first corner which I don't really of the wheel speed for and I can't go on a third my car doesn't really have enough power so kind of limited there but I'll do my best and just hang in there I definitely excel in the back section just kind of with this car I can catch up to people or put a gap on them or choke them out with angle pretty easily I've just have a lot of seat time in this car so it's pretty easy for me to make it do what I want it to all right here we go I'm gonna make sure the ACS off I got a P but we're good jab at me I never understand whether we're supposed to drift that last scorn or not because everything does it differently and no one can give me a definitive answer thanks doc looks like we're leading first this time going against a crazy it's pretty stylish one dudes really good driver to my stupid window broke so my cabin keeps filling up a smoke it's annoying ready to have some fun we got the jump on me stay pinned I threw a lotta angle probably more than I should have a lot angle that run was sloppy I got to put it on him that was terrible through way too much angle it sound like use on me - yikes car keeps filling up with smoke dupa car go away smoke yikes good save his poor bumper yeah you're good his run was kind of hard to follow he was going like super super outside and slow and weird thanks big fuzzy spun that was weird alright we're in the final four right now by the way we're up against Patrick right now and he is really good he normally wins he's a really really great driver noted any advice for the lead on him should I throw a lot of angle since his car is fast so he doesn't realize how fast I am or what should I do how much you have to turn off my AC Patrick's on me was hard to follow he did a really good follow behind you I got choked out I don't have the power to keep going yeah that last stupid corner he slowed down so much I just have too much grip and too much weight to keep aside ways he might have got it but thing I definitely almost hit him a couple times but it was sick he's such a good driver I had a lot of fun during that call drivin Texas driver's is rad this is a long I don't know if I was to lose to anyone who would definitely be Patrick he's such a great driver and I don't know but apart from the chaos Alexie's year I'm here and there's been some bad news about okay so they built a replica of my 32 that's the one in Japan that's it over there and it looks even better than the real one but unfortunately and in one session came back it did some funny stuff happened gasps it is gone it's spraying actual coolant at the exhaust don't milk in the world so it's done likely there's quite a few people who have volunteered their cars including this car right here elderlies economy he's been very kind and calm but let me drive these cars like anyone is etc yes I'm gonna take that searching out for some practice for tomorrow's pro-am and Alexia's gonna drive to 350 L bet yeah so I've never driven I've never driven right-hand drive said before ever it's left-hand Drive sorry I'm sorry left so easy cool thing I know I I'm gonna put all this in please please know it makes you it makes you a person this is great watch the footage back if you think it's okay alright maybe hey so take whatever I've never driven a left-hand Drive said before and every second car here in America is a said so I just want to see what they like the drive so here are our Zed is like our gzx 100 because they're so cheap they're so afford like if they're not cheap there anymore but their third to the crash to do they got perfect amount of power stock their simples and it'll break yeah so maybe you can tell six you know like the cheap n/a easily available they drift well alright that's a bit of a stretch I know maybe that maybe the ae86 like ten years ago or something sort of thing yeah yeah it seems like America is in a bit of a in-between right now yeah your costume and getting a little expensive but if Murphy would could she please tell me the baby shape now may be hidden in Sophocles in Japan now because obviously they get a cheaper this honor we'll see I've been told I don't know this is true they made a lot less 350 C's in Japan because of emissions and like the cost because it so there's sort of less common and more expensive there than out here like a lot of the ones I sold over there to like the highest big ones also they had some of it he needs to Japan to be like they were built for the American market like them from the floor above yeah be seeks big part it's a cruise yeah sort of me so they weren't really that popular with the Japanese market since less of them didn't they over here but I don't know won't be you never know if they might pick up I mean I've seen me I went to an event a little while ago there's a guy in a g35 search I've never seen before I say so Lexi's gonna go drive I'm gonna go drive that's 13 we'll check in with him to see what anything yeah yeah I'm looking forward to it thank you man driving in Texas doing a pro-am with this car I can tell you right now this is the best that this car is gonna look for a long time so I'm trying to take it in right now because it does look great I love this carhi guys poof we're in Texas it was there with me can we do here exactly one year ago yeah it's crazy huh yeah a lots changed a that my own farm I drove my own truck and trailer
