This was the big day. The day that everyone around town had been talking about and waiting for. The Gates opened at 10:00 in the morning, and by 10:30 the 1.5 mile dirt entrance to the track was filled with cars and the line of cars continued over a mile down the highway. JR and Chris hit the track for the first time at about 1pm. They slowly rolled up to where the spectators were sitting and were introduced to the crowd. The screams and whistles of the spectators were incredibly loud and the excitement and anticipation was off the charts. This was their first time to see Drifting live, which created this electric atmosphere. It was one of the most amazing events either JR or Chris had been to.

Throughout the day JR and Chris performed 3 Demos on the track. Each demo went as planned and progressively got more exciting as the crowd got crazier and crazier the closer and faster they got during their tandem runs. Chris and JR even did a special “Bull Fighting Show” for them. Chris was outside the car holding a shirt and JR was chasing him like a bull in the Corolla. It was amazing and the crowd went absolutely CRAZY!!! Hey, when in Rome….. – right?


JR and Chris were working non stop all day with lines of people waiting for autographs and pictures. At the end of it all JR said, "It was just a great event that will go down in El Salvador history. It feels so good to be able to go to a place like El Salvador that is still developing and not nearly as fortunate as us in the USA, and be able to put a huge smile on everyone’s face because of Drifting. It’s simply AMAZING!"
