2008 Driver Profile – Andy Sapp. from Andy Sapp on Vimeo.
This edit is well over a year in the making. This cut is as close to perfect as I will ever get it. This video is the most thorough, polished, and complete example of my abilities behind the wheel… and my abilities behind a computer. Period.This digital short showcases the past 3 years of my professional drift effort. Features amalgamated footage from Formula Drift and Nopi Drift events, as well as various Nopi/NDRA demos, grassroots competitions, practice events, SPEED TV, and other television appearances.
Very very special thanks to everyone who provided me with the footage to edit this video.
Soundtrack by Slayer.
Keep drifting fun. OR ELSE.
A random snap of my good friend Tyler Clayton’s Weds. Tyler has some of the raddest sticker placement (and selection) on his cars out of anyone I know… and the DriftMechaniks sticker on the lip of his wheel is no exception.
An amazing desktop snapped by Shawn Watson. At first… nobody noticed my e46 buried within the smoke billowing from Tyler Clayton’s super-stretched tyres. I can assure you… the view from my car was about as revealing. I could only see the very front corner of his turn signal. The rest was like driving behind a coal-burning freight train.Big thanks again to Shawn for the KILLER photo.
Southeast Drift‘s Drivers Only event turned out to be insane. I totally destroyed 10 tyres at the event… and with several DriftMechaniks in attendance… the tandem was killer. The atmosphere was super-laid back without spectators, and limited run-groups. It made for a nice change of pace from normal drift events.Shawn Watson came out to the event, and snapped some awesome shots. He wanted to try and emphasize more movement in the photos, so he did a lot of panning. The pictures turned out different from most drift event photos, in an amazing way. I think the overcast day helped to add a cool feel to his photos.
Here are a few he shot of the e46 in action. To check the full roster of snaps, check the gallery page that Cody Wellons hosted for him.
I’ve got a killer desktop image that Shawn shot from the event that I will post up tomorrow… so keep an eye out.

The long-awaited follow-up to the first installment. This video continues the horror-inspired, theatrical slow-motion – while trying to keep the “sequel” status from collapsing into common franchise stereotypes that the horror genre is known for.Principal photography for this project was plagued with technical difficulties from the start. Cameras falling off cars, HDD cameras shutting themselves off before every run, lens issues, focusing problems… it was all there. While this video didn’t quite live up to my personal expectation and original creative vision… it did turn out well.
The sequel is finally complete. No one is safe
What can I say. The third and final installment if Southeast Drift‘s Triple Threat series was an amazing finale. I had a feeling going into this event that two things would happen: my camera would fall off a car, and someone would wreck. Both wound up happening (to me)… but such is inevitable. The advanced-tandem sessions were getting closer with every run. Everyone has stepped their game up. It’s amazing to see that Atlanta still kills it… through thick and thin.

This is what it’s all about.
KILL.

I’m STILL recovering from this weekends final installment of the Southeast Drift’s Triple Threat series. These events keep getting sicker… and Atlanta keeps bringing it stronger. More on this event soon… I’m exhausted.
CBS 46 News came out to Turner Field yesterday and did a nice feature on the Southeast Drift event at Turner Field.
We’ve been drifting in the Turner lot since 2004… and I’m amazed that a news station hasn’t made it out sooner
The 2nd installment of Southeastdrift.com‘s Triple Threat series can only be summed up with one word: GNAR. The advanced tandem group threw down door-to-door action and SICK multi-car tandem ALL DAY LONG. It rained toward the end of the day… which is always a blast for me. This event was what drifting is about: having real fun with real friends, drifting at the limit, and enjoying the sport. No politics, no pressure, no bullshit.
Hats of to Marcos and the crew at Southeastdrift.com for stepping up and keeping Atlanta drifting alive – the way it should be.
