Good start for 2010 for Rattlezasia. That's all i can describe when one of our members finish 4th in Ace Suspension Drift Challenge (ASDC) which will be revealed later on. This event was held on 2nd and 3rd January 2010. Our driver already practising on 2nd Jan evening till 11p.m. There should be 4 drifters representing Rattlezasia in this event which are Firdaus (Chop), Ejat, Rashid and Zulfikar. But only 3 drifters managed to make themselves participate in this event which left Ejat behind since his Silvia have some medium major problems shall we say. However, we (Rattlezasia crews) only managed to reach at Stadium Hang Jebat on 3rd Jan evening right before Best 16 started. but only Zulfikar and Chop through in the Best 16. Unfortunate for Rashid since he did not make it through to the Best 16 but still he do have a neat, clean, powerfull and well setup Nissan Cefiro A31 with the biggest Rattlezasia stickers attached on the side (on random pictures below). Better luck next time all right mate. We will kill again in next event, BP Mall! Still you make top management proud bro.
Zul and Chop line up for Best 16 introduction.
In Best 16, Chop was on 16th place. It was a different level of experience for Chop since he will tsuiso with Tan Tat Wei. Chop managed to give a good fight, good handling machine and pressure with his Toyota KE70 Blacktop. However, TTW shows his superior experience to overcome Chop with his mighty Bridgestone Toyota AE86 + NOS. But still, if we look in the bright side, Chop has outbeat a number of drifters who came from all over places where the total drifters participated in this event was almost 50 cars. Chop still in good mood after loosing to TTW by saying "awal tahun dah tsuiso TTW, hujung tahun tsuiso Nomukan plak kot.hahaha..." (in this very early 2010 already tsuiso with TTW, perhaps end of this year will tsuiso against Nomuken. hahaha...). Kudos Chop!
Chop vs TTW: 1st run.
Chop vs TTW: 2nd run.
The only remaining drifter that represent Rattlezasia was our ace, Zulfikar, with his MyEG Toyota ae86 powered by SR20DET. In Best 16 battle, Zul was up against a black Celica (damn, cant remember his name). It is a good battle and Zul claim the victory to make himself through to the Fantastic 8.
Best 16 battle: Zul vs Black Celica.
In the Fantastic 8 battle, Zul was facing Along Rempit with his notorious FX Open Nissan Cefiro A31. It was a dog fight since they got OMT after they got 5-5 on both run in 1st judging round. In 2nd judging round, Zul show what he capable of plus Along Rempit was runing out of course/track and make him through to the Incradible 4.

Along Rempit run out of course on the 2nd run.
In the Incradible 4 battle, it was Zul and Ariff to face each other. Ariff with his Goodyear Toyota AE86 Coupe Supercharger looks yummy with his offset watanabe on the front. harrrerr.. In this round, Ariff shown good drifting techniques and make him self through to the Ultimate 2. Zul was spun on the 2nd run due to excessive use of tyres plus it was 14inch rim on rear. Zul said that he did not have enough tyres since on the previous day (training session), he ran a lot till night. At the end of the day, Zul finish 4th in this ASDC 2009: Round 1. Congatulation to Zulfikar and big clap for you bro! In the future, top management of Rattlezasia are hoping that in ASDC: Round 2, there will be more Rattlezasia representer competing. The more we send our drifters, the more chances for us to reach podium. God's Will!
