Formula DRIFT insider 2012 Ep 7
this episode touches on the JTP/Saito indecent, I think JTP and other drivers need to take a step back and realize that they are in a competition. In every competition around the world there is strategy behind it, and Daigo has every right to use some sort of strategy to win.Tanner Foust is a great example of someone that used strategy/intimidation to beat people. he had one of the fastest cars at the time with an 800+ NASCAR V8, and he was using his brakes too. Its all just a part of strategy. all the top major funded teams out there have to money to build a 1200 HP car, Daigo is the only one that did it. Dont be mad cause he has that much power. Plus its not just having the power its having the skill too. Tony B has a freshly built motor with a ton of power and its not really helping him. I myself would love to see a horsepower cap of 500 i think thats plenty fair. Formula Drift is skewing slowly away from entertaining people that are drifters to people that just want to hear loud cars and see lots of smoke. I know that what sell the tickets though, but come on now look how far away from the original Formula D we have gotten. PASSING ZONES, 2 tires off or 3 off, its a deduction if you tap the clipping point weather it be the wall or the cone, and the judges inconsistent scoring and what seems like favoritism or influence from major sponsors. its becoming more and more of a joke for the true drift enthusiast out there. that's why i say we all just keep taking to the streets. KEEP DRIFTING FUN! Remember that dirt drops are cool even if FD doesn't like them, and there is a reason we all zip tie our bumpers on. its so we can rip them off while we are drifting.
in conclusion this rant was not made to piss people off, nor to bag on drivers. I LOVE JTP and think he is a great driver, probably one of the best on the FD tour. but he just needs to remember that its a competition. i cant even imagine the pressure he is under from his big name sponsors, and im sure they are breathing down his neck about winning, and its not a place i would like to be. But remember he put himself in the position when he signed up to be a pro drifter and have that be the way he brings home the bacon. just like the movie stars that i dont feel sorry for when they get blasted by the paparazzi, its there choice to make millions and be in the spotlight.
I don't hate V8s
I don't LOVE Daigo
I don't care if there are mustangs in an import scene
I LOVE DRIFTING.
I just wanted to open peoples eyes to The road FD is heading down.
REMEMBER you don't have to agree with me, or believe anything is write. Its strictly my own interpretation, and my own opinion if you don't like it go make you own blog

Sick 510 foo
The Year 1971. from Mark Razmandi on Vimeo.
I love the way the owner made the 510, its very raw looking nothing to flashy. N/A ITB'd Sr20 looking sexy under the hood. I would love to do something like this.
RAW Japanese street drifting
its a pretty long video, but its pretty cool to see how they do it in japan. it almost reminds me of street racing in southern California circa 1999.

Drift Spot in New Hampshire
came across some videos from this weekends Drift Spot event held at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. pretty cool cars, videos, and some good driving skills. take a look at proximity and the tandems.
Mad Mikes D1 Drift car JAPBUL
Mad Mike has great attitude, he truly is missed from the FD circuit. His insane RX8, his no bad days attitude, his ability to always get close to the walls. i wish he would come back to FD so we could witness his awesomeness. but at least he is still competing and making ridiculous cars.
Saturday
Depth of speed: My Church
Depth of Speed: My Church from Josh Clason on Vimeo.
this video is very inspiring, the amount of heart and dedication this guy puts into his Datsuns really shows.
VegasDrift Smoke sessions
last nights Vegas Drift practice event was a crazy one for our driver Joey Sproul, who broke his tranny on his first run out which cut his night really short. Then my good friend August with the S2000 had his drain plug fall out and he lost all his oil. Other then those major events the night went smoothly for everyone else. These events are a great way to get out and practice, the whole Vegas Drift staff is awesome and super nice. No one is there to judge you or bag on you cause your not that good. everyone is just there to have fun, so i would really suggest trying to make these events. This last event only had about 12 cars there. So if you have thoughts about going to these events but aren't sure, you really should its great fun. The only bad thing about it was how HOT it was, since it was so hot i didn't really feel like taking pictures so i only shot a few, and then took some videos with the GOPRO. The videos are of Penguin, he is running an S14 with a totally stock SR20 with A/C, stock boost, stock manifold, stock everything. Not to mention he is trying to spin 18x10 wheels, and with all that he still manages to pull it off.
1JZ conversion
The guys at Mighty Car Mods have made a very cool video on how to do a 1JZ conversion. If you dont know who the Mighty Car Mods are, check out their Youtube channel they have numerous helpful tips for fixing up cars for. Its pretty long video but worth the watch if you want to know about 1JZ swap basics.
Wednesday
Killing Tires
A few days ago my good friend hit me up seeing if i wanted to go kill some tires, since he is participating in the Vegas drift practice event this Friday he had got new tires so he wanted to kill what tires he had left. so we got a couple people together and went out to a secret spot and did some hooning. below are some pictures and video from just us being stupid and having fun.
