and the REAL TEAM NOS come to kick it for once out of the office ..

Welcome to the team steve!

Gio and Tony my right and left hand men .. haha

GIO is Steve’s Crew Chief, but also marks spotter on the Eshift Drift team .. Gio has been raising these kids for years now, and you can tell that he knew something was in the air the fun loving GIO was in the ZONE .. jumping from car to car .. GIO was the support factor for both drivers .. and Killed it all weekend long ..

so during the down time I was talking to Resse and I really wanted to get Ueno’s autograph, I summed up enough balls and asked to sign my dash thank god someone was there to translate .. or I would had looked like a fool ..

to my surprise he love my car .. and jumped right in to sign my dash ..

this is like having MJ sign my jordans ..

after a while of being star struck .. Ueno and his friends were really nice and we ended up chilling for the rest of the night ..

I never though I would see the day that my NOSsc would be next to the reason I built this car ..

nor did I think that Ueno would want to take it home .. thanks Resse !!

man … what a dream come true now the car is complete ..

this man gets S#%t done … collin mManansala Crew Chief from Eshift performance .. drift team

d1 the biggest reason I am even hangin out with D1 if it wasn’t for he and long relationship .. I would have never thought of working or being at a D1 event .. after he introduced me to ever one I really glad that I got to be a part of the event and the team ..

Jose, this guy needs no introduction he just knows how to produce he and his 3 man team made this old road corse the house that drift built on the east coast ..

yes, he is od .. this is my best friend Derrick Powell … But when you have someone that drives all the way from North Carolina to watch your brother drift and to make sure your ok though out the day .. you know thats your homie ..

Gates and Audrey chillin in the tower .. waiting to see how far the boys will make it ..

I was thinking why I am doing this .. I suck .. but everyone was having fun so I stuck with it ..
