I’m back in St. Louis; and man, this year had to be the hottest! My brother, dad, and I arrived
early in the afternoon and unloaded. We pitted with our teammate, Alex Lichliter, so with the combination of our canopies, we had perfect shade throughout the day.

Thankfully, we had a month in between rounds, so my car was fixed. I had a solid testing day the weekend before, so my team only needed to change the oil, go over the front end alignment, and put in new tires in the front. After that, we picked up the rest of the team and headed to the hotel to get a good night's rest.

Living in Maryland, this is the furthest FD round for us this year. 31hr drive one way. NonStopTuning teammate Carlos Arrieta lives only one hour away from me in Virginia. He has a dual car trailer, so I reached out to him about teaming up this round and transporting my car to Utah. Since I work for an airline, I was able to fly out my team (7 of us) and meet up with the Arrieta’s on Wednesday for load in. We meet within 30 mins of each other, which worked out beautifully. Utah Motorsports Campus is gorgeous. It is a HUGE facility. We got our cars out of the trailer, set up our tents, and bolt checked the car to prepare for Thursday.

Ever wanted a sneak peak inside a Formula Drift car during tandem competition? Here's a back to back follow and lead run, raw footage and sound from Alex Lichliter's NST 86.

It’s HOT! St. Louis is no joke when it comes to heat. 95-100 degree days. We left Arya (my dog) back home so she didn’t have to suffer in this heat. The race track is gigantic! The grandstands are blazing hot in the direct sun. The pit space is massive! There could be a completely different event there and you wouldn’t know because of how big this place is. Carlos Arrieta and I are combining pits together for the season as team NST. We combined our tents to provide a massive 20x30 tent in between our trailers providing adequate shade. We continued unloading and setting up. We concluded the day with a track walk and then headed out for a steak dinner.

Round 2 of the 2022 Formula DRIFT PROSPEC championship took place at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey. This is one of my favorite tracks to drift at and happens to be the closest to home. Because we were 3 hours away from home, the drive was very smooth. We arrived at 8pm and decided to set up Thursday morning. The vehicle already passed inspection at Round 1 so it did not need to go through inspection again. 

​Formula Drift driver Carlos Arrieta shares his mid season recap, showing off his Toyota JZ powered SC300. Check out those NST parts on the car! We'll continue to develop more products for this engine and chassis combination as the season continues.
