Event Coverage: Mosport DMCC Part 1

Sep 21, 2010

On Sunday September 19th 2010 I went out to my first Drift Mania Canadian Championship (DMCC) event, which just so happened to be their final East event of the year.

I had the long lens on the camera for most of the day which worked a treat for catching the action from the stands, and today’s coverage is what I caught in the qualifying rounds.

A lot of people have been saying that the course was not as fast as it could have been, but I still had a great time watching all of the drivers try and figure out the technical, multi-elevation course.

Furthermore I’m still a ‘noob’ when it comes to this drifting business so I will take what I can get, and anytime I can go out and support Pat Cyr and Drift Posse I am going to do it.

The Lineup

I’m going to do my best here to name the drivers who’s photos I took, if I miss label any please let me know.

chris_stjohn1 — Chris St John, one of the guys from CSCS

redblack_2 — Bob Patinka in his glassless 240sx

markii_2 — Mats Baribeau's Gold in the net Mark II

Onto the action

As previously mentioned the track was pretty tricky with all of the elevation changes. A lot of drivers came in too hot and paid with spin outs and off track excursions.

The opposite side stands, where the judges were

chris_stjohn2 — Chris was having a little trouble Sunday but I am sure he will redeem himself this Sunday

dirt_1 — If this was golf people would be fixing lots of divots

whatbumper — From entry this bumper was held on by zip ties

whatbumper2 — I thought it was a goner but it held fast

bumper_story — What would a drift event be without a bumper separation?

rockstar_1 — Frédéric Girard in his Rock Star 240sx

rockstar_2 — He was driving well and made it through to the finals

cheetah_1 — This v8 in this car screamed

cheetah_3 — Sliding one of the early turns in the course

gregoire — Jean-François Chiasson Nice and sideways

kingdom_2 — Danny Bernier putting that work in

pink — See all the matching shirts in the crowd? They were all rooting hard for this car

redblack_1 — This was one of my favorite turns of the course to take pictures of if you have not noticed

redblack_4 — Was really hoping to get a shot like this that day

markii_1 — Saw a lot of this big Mark II from Importfest getting sideways

mishi_1 — Matt Waldin was having an exceptional day

pat_3 — Pat's car sounds awesome and he came out fast

pat_1 — Since his car was smaller he could get it very sideways on the tight course

pat_2 — This is one of my favorite shots, car looks so pissed off

Check back tomorrow for Show & Shine pictures and Thursday for pictures from the finals, and perhaps check this page later for some photos I may or may not have forgot to add.
