Tougefest is an event hosted at The Tail of the Dragon located on the east Tennessee Border, spilling over into North Carolina.

The event draws out high quaility cars and drivers both local and from far away.

Since We have the misfortune of being too deeply into engine swaps and upgrades as of this post, all of our drift cars weren't up to the trip

The vessel for the journey was Taylor's 06' Nissan Xterra complete with titan shocks and 33s, while it was very comfortable for the drive up- it was not up to the task of keeping up with the FD.

It was good for carrying the boatload of camera equipment and cooking supplies we needed for the weekend.

We stayed at my favorite hotel I have ever visted, the Dragon City hotel at the bottom of the dragon. The place has a ton of personality and so does the owner, Dan.

Our friend did show us his FRS which is very tastefully modified. We intended to shoot onboard and corner videos of it, but his friend was too hungry and insisted they leave to go see F1. Bummer.

Our friend was helpful in introducing us to Alex, who flew in from Oregon and had his GP Sports S15 up there for over a week prior to touge fest.

The S15 Features GP Sports iconic G1GP widebody kit, a garret top mounted turbocharger, and extremely rare GP Sports wheels.

The car sounded incredible and Alex was a super nice guy, his information can be found at @daddymcskids on Instagram.
