It was really hot and I forgot my sunblock. You would think after going to enough of these events and living my whole life in Texas you’d think I would know, “Hey, wear sunblock anytime you’re gonna be outside for an extended period of time”, right? Not this guy. To be fair I hadn’t shot an event since December out in San Antonio, so I’m gonna go with that as my excuse. As per usual I tagged along with the guys from here in the RGV, ZeroGrip, we had two cars in tow and were ready for a long day out in Corpus Christi (thankfully a little closer, still not home though).

I cant remember the last time I was at the Edinburg 1/4 Mile track to grab a few photos for anything but I’m pretty sure its been a few years. I forget how hooked I get with all things car/motorsports related, whether it be Drifting, Drag Racing, HPDE’s, basically if there is a car on a track of sorts – I’m in. Now I know this year I’ve been slacking…hard, like really hard – and that’s on me for sure. I don’t know what it was but it just seemed I was sort of nearing the point where I thought all this was pointless, I could just post a few photos here and there on Instagram (which we have now, go follow us hah!), or on Facebook and it would pretty much be the same thing- right? There might be a voice in the back of your head whispering, or in my case shouting, that what you’re doing isn’t important, doesn’t matter, isn’t anything special; and its hard to try and sit there and argue with yourself sometimes cause that’s what “crazy” people do. But there I sat, in my room, arguing with myself on whether or not I can still keep this up, and for how much longer- when a friend messaged me, “Hey let me know for sure about Friday so I can leave your name at the gate and you can get in to shoot”

This has been by far one of my favorite years running this blog, and a lot of it has to do with the type of coverage I was able to get this year. SAR (San Antonio Raceway) has almost become a second home to me and the guys from the ZeroGrip drift club, the first event I attended out there was in April, and its only fair that for our last event coverage piece it ends with the years final Day of Drift Event.
