On Saturday some of the best amateur drifters in North America gathered at Irwindale Speedway for the Formula Drift Pro Am Nationals. With prize money, free parts, and the chance for an FD Pro license on the line, the competition would be fierce, yet the atmosphere was still that of care-free grassroots event. In total there were 24 drivers who had
Everything's bigger in Texas, even the tandem drift trains. This was shot at the first-ever Lonestar Bash, held last weekend at Mineral Wells in the heart of Texas. Very good stuff here. -Mike Garrett
We've covered the hidden gem that is the Caribbean motorsports scene a couple times here on Speedhunters, and each time we're even more impressed with the crazy machines people are running down there. This latest batch of photos was shot by Jason Joaquin at the second round of the Caribbean Motor Racing Championship held on August 30th at Bushy
I don't know about you but I'm the kind of guy that gets way too attached to things, especially cars. This is probably why I had a hard time seeing cool JDM drift cars get voluntarily smashed up at Ebisu this past weekend. Sure they are on their last leg, but the optimist in me always sees the potential in a car, after all everything can be
Ebisu circuit truly is a magical place. You could see it this past weekend at the Matsuri where the drifters were like kids in a candy store. Most wanted to sample all that the compound has to offer from the scary wall at the Minami course, to the blind crest at the Nishi short-course and the fast and more grip oriented Higashi. I was driving back and
It was back up to Ebisu circuit this past weekend for me, to cover the summer installment of the legendary Drift Matsuri, but little did I know the 48-hours of non-stop drifting would be joined by 48-hours of non-stop rain! Everyone there got soaked down to their underwear and socks but even the damp conditions didn't stop people from having fun
July has been a busy month for me -I've put about 2500 miles on my car in the past few weeks just driving to events and photoshoots. Tomorrow morning I'm going to be heading back down to Southern California for the rally portion of the X-Games - something that I'm quite looking forward to covering. Before that though, I wanted to wrap up
What's better than taking a road trip half way across the country with a group of close friends? How about a road trip that involves lots of drifting and cruising through the streets of San Francisco and SoCal in stylish drift cars? That's exactly what Chicago's Risky Devil crew did over the past week. For a couple years now, these guys
Now for some more photos from the "biggest little drift event in the world" AKA the Ziptied All Star Bash. We've covered this event several times now on Speedhunters, and by now it should be obvious that this is where one can experience the best grassroots drifting in the United States. Now on with the photos! Formula D driver Michihiro
There's an air of difference when you compare the Matt Powers of Formula D and regular ol' Matt Powers. The seriousness and pressure of competing with the big leagues in Formula D is completely gone and replaced with a person that just wants to get out on the track with a smile, and leave with a smile. As an automotive website, we mostly focus
