DRIFT COLORS ep.1 ebisu

Never been to Ebisu Circuit? Wonder what it's really like? Why not take a tour of each of the circuits within Drift Heaven with Naoto Suenaga as your host! Luke Huxham of We Are Drift has just released the first of five episodes showcasing Ebisu Circuit as you have never seen it before. It's a well put together and executed look at what the place is all about and after the recent disaster Team Orange and all the people up in Nihonmatsu have been through, a reminder that things are now back to normal and the place is open ready to host this year's Spring Drift Matsuri.

SLAMMED SOCIETY CAR SHOW long beach 2011

there is always a car show of some sort at the formula d events. this one had the slammed society put on by fatlace. very cool car show. it has its mix of VIP, slammed, HF, race, hardparkers...  we know that all of the them are not functional. but none the less you get to enjoy some well put together cars that look good, and some even preform well too. below is 5 of our favorite cars. along with a link to my flickr with almost 100 other photos.

 this s14 had an LS v8 swap in it. WOW

FORMULA D LONG BEACH... what a ride

WELL to start off by saying YAY for no JR he didnt even make it to the top 32. that was the highlight of my day. then double wowsers for MATT POWERS running smooth and consistent the whole time nailing his line, lead or chasing, and taking second place his first podium ever and team NFS first podium ever. he even out did the very talented Aasbo, who is on his team as well. on friday there was a few wet clouds that flew over and dropped a little water which made for an interesting site. NO ONE could get any traction or to a good drift. pretty funny to see. but it quickly dried and tires were smoking again. the most packed drift event i have ever been to BY FAR, i guess drifting is going to out rank nascar, its almost the same right everyone has V8's. just kidding nascar sucks and drifting will never be like nascar.
 this event was definitely one for the under dogs. both rookies from last year matt field and walker wilkerson making it to the top 32, kyle mohan was KILLING IT, JTP even took first. it seems as if there is a new wave of talent coming in. and the old veterans might actually have some competition. and hopefully we wont always see the same top 3 anymore, which adds for much excitement.

well enough rambling on to the pictures, cause lets face it thats the only reason you're here...

 attached are the top 6 pictures. but there is over 250 total when you click on the link to my flickr.
