This video is a super-short and sweet attempt at making a drift video unlike any other I have made before. All the on-car footage is shot from cameras mounted on other drift cars during multi-car tandem. I wanted it to feel very theatrical… and the soundtrack by John Carpenter helps tremendously. The DriftMechaniks were on a murder spree this weekend… so it seemed all-but fitting.
I met up with Antonio Alvendia today to shoot some snaps of the E46 for a new project he’s working on called Speedhunters. Byron Hill brought his s14 down, and Marcos Ruiz towed his s13 with insane wheel fitment out to be shot as well. Cody Wellons from S3 Magazine came out… Erik Jacobs and Eugene Chou from DGTrials were in effect as well.
Speedhunters is going to be a world-wide collaboration of sorts… bringing you REAL automotive culture from across the globe. I’m really excited to see it launch. Personally, I like to see coverage of real cars that are built with passion, and actually DRIVEN. If I know Antonio… then I know Speedhunters will have plenty of that… not to mention plenty of slammed rides with insane offset.I won’t give any shots away from the shoot… just some random snaps only.
We’re headed down to the red-carpet premiere of Drift Alliance’s new DVD “Stay Hungry”. There’s definitely a lot of anticipation surrounding the release. The premiere will be at the same theater we premiered Slide America almost 1 year ago. With the entire professional drift community in town for round 2 of Formula Drift… tonight is sure to be a riot.
We’ll see you all down on the red carpet… in the meantime – enjoy the “Stay Hungry” teaser trailer:
Southeastdrift threw a practice event up at the Braves Municipal Stadium in Greenville, SC on Saturday. The asphault DESTROYED tyres, but the event was a blast! It was definitely laid back, and rad to chill with the crew for the weekend.
Chris Rhoad let me slide his GTS hatchback around until the tyres popped. It definitely made me miss my li’l eight-six!
This car looks so sexy without 20lbs of vinyl & stickers.
I heart vitaminenergy.

I took the e46 up to Foerst Motorwerks today so we could get her prepped for the Southeastdrift event in Greenville next weekend.
Delicious Steve stopped by sporting his custom Slide Style™ Hot Wheels. He just picked up some aero for his ride… I can’t wait to see it kitted out!
Southeastdrift.com threw their “All You Can Drift Buffet” down at Watermelon Capital Speedway on Friday night. This was the first legal night event that Georgia has seen.This was also my first drift event since I shattered my collarbone in September. With the E46 fully stripped of all her graphics, and all pressure and politics lying in a dumpster somewhere south of Atlanta… this event was single-handedly the MOST FUN I have had at a drift event EVER. Multi-car tandems, enough flashing lights for a year’s supply of seizures, and a leprechaun’s bag of colored lights underneath my car… this event will be tough to top.

I managed a top-8 finish in Cordele, GA this weekend for round 2 of the SCCA Drift Series at Watermelon Speedway! There was a questionable call made in regard to my opponent’s advancement, but a great event for sure!
Since this event was the last of the championship series, all of the DriftMechaniks crew decided we would dress up in thrift-store business suits, and rock out the last event of the season with some style.
Unfortunately there was a horrific accident, in which a photographer was struck by an understeering drift car. The event was cancelled after the accident, and with good reason. We all wish him a speedy recovery… and REALLY hope he is okay.
Erik Jacobs, Tony Schulz, Dennis Mertzanis, Jonathan Martin, and myself were invited up to Lanier National Speedway for a 10 minute drift demo between circle track races.
This was some of the fastest I’ve consistently drifted to date. Usually you get a super-fast entry… and slow down a good bit for the rest of the course layout – rnbut this was top of third gear – pedal through the firewall the entire time!!!
