Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the opener for the 2013 Evergreen Drift Pro/Am and Grassroots series on Saturday, and Northwest Nissans‘ NissanFest 2013 on Sunday.

To bring many of these cars together in the Pacific Northwest, Mike Tolliver and HappenStance Event Productions collaborated to create the annual The Old School Reunion – this time for its fourth year.
