Markis Sarkis bought his 1992 Mazda Miata when he was 16 years old and before he could even drive. It didn't take long before he started modifying the car over the winter. Each year it was a new iteration, going from different forms of stance, finally arriving at a functional setup after Sarkis spent some time spectating drift events. Today, Sarkis drives his Miata on the track as well as the street, blending function and form the best way he can.
