Well it finally happened. Montana finally had its first ever drift event. Sideways Saturdays was at the Yellowstone Drag Strip just north of Billings, MT. I had helped plan this event for the last month and it was a huge success!!! We had around 15 drivers show up from all around MT and even one from Minot ND. Since this was the first event of its kind a lot of drivers had never drifted before. By the end of the day everyone could link the course together.
It was the most fun I have had in a long time. The Montana auto community is pretty tight online but rarely do we get a big event that a bunch of people come out to. It was awesome meeting all these people I only knew online. Here are some pictures I got from the event.
Adams RX8 first time ever drifting did a great job.
