Well I'm dead tired and covered in rubber bits, so that must mean that another season of Formula Drift has started. Today was practice and qualifying in Long Beach, and I figured I'd make a quick post highlighting some of the action before tomorrow's main event. With over 50 cars battling for a spot, qualifying would be a long, though process
Has it already been a year since I moved back to the US and started covering the 2009 FD season? I remember thinking that '09 was the most exciting year in FD history, but it's already looking like 2010 will crank things up at least another notch or two. Activity has already started down at the Long Beach street course, so it's time to take
I know a lot of our American readers are probably staring at the clock right now, counting down the minutes until the start of the holiday weekend. To help pass the time a little faster, here's my final bit of coverage from the Formula Drift Pro Am Nationals at Irwindale.

Driving his tried and true Madbul RX7, Mad Mike defeated Ryuji Miki to take the top podium spot in Thailand. Veteran driver Tengku Djan took the final podium

I'm still in a "Long Beach State of Mind" as I prepare for tomorrow morning's trip back down to SoCal for the ALMS race at the Long Beach Grand Prix. Before I do that though, I'd like to finish our look at the competition from last weekend's Formula D Long Beach event. This time we'll start at the Great Eight, and move
Alright then, let's jump straight into the next part of our coverage of the tandem competition at Formula D Long Beach - the Top 16. After a quick lunch break after Top 32 wrapped up, the next part of the event started off with introductions for the 16 remaining drivers who'd be competing against each other in the afternoon. The Top 16 kicked
Ever since drifting first made its way stateside in the early 2000's, Falken Tire has been without question the biggest supporter of drifting in the United States. In the years since, Team Falken's iconic blue and green race cars, their drivers, the massive Team Falken transporters, and of course the Falken umbrella girls have become staples
