February 18/19th, 2006 48 Hour VIRus - Alton, VA Despite freezing temps and a brief snow storm on Saturday, everyone had a blast. The Sunday session ending up being near perfect minus the cold. People attended from as far south as Georgia and as far North as Maine.

February 14th, 2006 Valentine's Day - Nationwide Buy your sweetheart a new set of tires!!1 January 1st, 2006 New Year's - Nationwide Hangover!!1 December 25th, 2005 Christmas/Chanukkah - Nationwide Happy Holidays!!1 November 24th, 2005 Thanksgiving - Nationwide Happy Thanksgiving!!1 November 11th, 2005 Verteran's Day - Nationwide Thank a Veteran!!1 November 1st, 2005 SEMA - Las Vegas, NV After getting to the airport early, we decided to kill some time at the bar there before our flight. Unfortunately we missed our flight. We blame cheap 32 oz beers and $2 shots. After flying standy we arrive in Vegas, unfortunately too late for DA's release party, but we drank across the whole country to make up for it. On to the show, SEMA was good, we saw alot of new products and met a lot of industry types. We took a bunch of photos the first day and then decided there was just too many people there this year to get any decent shots, everyone kept walking right in front of us just as we were taking the pictures. Definately alot more open to the public this year, but what can you do? We met Carmen Electra, and saw many other famous celebrities such as Hulk Hogan, Tyrese, and the WWE champ. The industry parties were the best part, we went to the Cooper Tires party at Pure, courtesy of Doug and Nate (thanks guys), and this was by far the best party of the week. Just ask Mike (from BubbaDrift), he seemed to enjoy himself in the hour he was there playing catchup with us. We also went to the L.A. Rush video game release party held with West Coast Customs guys. And finished off the week at the NOPI party at the Frontier. They were supposed to have a 3 car drag race down the strip at 2am, but one car broke during it's run and then the whole thing kinda just fell apart. Other than that, the week was a blast, we drank way too much and spent way too much, but all in all it was fun. Pics will be in the gallery soon!!1 October 10th, 2005 Columbus Day - Nationwide Let's hear it for not stopping and asking for directions!!1 October 6th, 2005 U.S.Drift Practice Day - Dinwiddie, VA We finally got a whole parking lot event again at Virginia Motorsports Park, hopefully this won't be the last.

May 30th, 2005 Memorial Day - Nationwide Rememberance for those who gave their life in service for us. May 11th, 2005 Lookout Logo I have become bored with the written "look-out" logo we originally came up with. The font "sofachrome" has become overly abused in every corner of the world and I would like to come up with something new. We will remain to use the block font (and maybe the original one), but as for an actual logo, I would like something more than just the name, preferably an image. If you have any ideas feel free to submit them to us by clicking here. If we choose your logo, we will reward you with something, ...we're just not sure what yet. And for those of you that are artistically challenged, you can still submit your idea verbally and we will try to re-create it for you. May 10th, 2005 Website Update Well, after about 3½ years of the same look, we finally decided to give the website a much needed overhaul. All of the original features are still here, we simply made them a little easier to access and added a few new ones, with more on the way. Please pardon the broken links, etc... for the next week or so while we try and debug the site. Feel free to comment on the new format in the forums and let us know if there is anything else you want. We would also like to say thanks to all of you who remain loyal and frequent our site. It's been 5 years now, and it's amazing how quickly time passes when you are getting wasted off beer and/or soda!!1 |
