As some of y’all know, I’m mostly Irish in my background. I listen to Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphey’s, even The Pogues. This is why when I heard of our driver this week I sat up and paid attention in a way I had not paid attention to a driver I’d never seen drive before. Just being an Irishman in an Americanized version of a Japanese sport is enough to make one stand up and take notice, even moreso when the chassis selected is so unique.
It is not so unique to see a 240, which has not been imported into the States since 1998, but the ride from Mr. Guinness Beer has been driving is from a company which doesn’t have a real presence in drifting! The ride is the Saturn Sky Coupe, of course heavily modified.
Darren McNamarra has been tearing up the drift circuit for a couple of years in his Sky, sponsored by Falken Tire. Here are some highlights:
