VICTOR MOORE // CHOOSES HIS WEAPON

If you haven’t been following our coverage of Victor Moore (tisk, tisk) and his attempt at a Formula D license during this weekends Pro/Am competition, then you probably have no idea what you are looking at. Well, to make it short and sweet, Victor Moore is a NW native and well on his way to becoming a household (drifting) name. He, as well as a few staff members from ColdTrackDays, will be reporting live from the Red Bull World Drift Championship in Long Beach, CA, over the course of this coming weekend. Now a lot of you may be familiar with Victor’s drift car, the drab green, SR20DET powered, S13 coupe, that Victor has become somewhat synonymous with. Well the car has seen a few upgrades in order to compete with the best of the best at this weekends Pro/Am. With the help of Tacoma’s UP Garage, Victor will be campaigning a 350bhp, RB26DETT powered S13 in this weekends battle. The RB26DETT comes courtesy of a Nissan Skyline and should be adequate power to slay the competition. According to our NW correspondent Russell O’Connell, who should be packing for Long Beach as I type this, Victor and the UP Garage crew have already left “and all ready had a run in with a transvestite at a Oregon truck stop” This should be interesting. Stick with ColdTrackDays for continued coverage from the RBWDC as well as Victor’s progress at the Formula D Pro/Am.

O’CONNELL UPDATE - “Victor passed tech inspection so he just has to survive practice and qualify tomorrow!” // 11.13.2008
