Details about the SICKEST drift event to ever ignite Southern soil very soon.
Stay tuned…
Listening to “Beware the Circling Fin” by Early Man… I just unpacked the shipment of short-run Slide Style™ Trophy Decks for this weekend’s double-header at Turner.Don’t swim ashore just yet… this shark bite won’t hurt too bad
In an effort to raise the bar at grassroots drift events… I schemed with Marcos and cranked out a RAD set of decks that will be trophies for this coming weekend’s Southeast Drift Challenge. This will be the first grassroots drift event in Atlanta with sanctioned team drift and single-run competition. This mad action will span two days at Turner.
There will be two complete sets of these decks to be won. The 1st place finishers (3 drivers) in the team drift competition will each receive a deck. Each of their decks will read “Team Drift 1st Place”. The 1st-3rd place finishers in the single-run competition on Sunday will receive one of the above decks with their respective finish on it.
Some multi-car action amidst the rain from Southeast Drift’s “Say Cheese” event at Turner Field. Torrential downpour made for an interesting day. I love drifting in the rain. Tony Schulz and David Jones are on chase attack… making good formation, considering the conditions.
A teaser shot from this weekend’s “Drivers Only 2” event hosted by Southeast Drift at Turner Field. My good friend Brady Stribling snapped this photo about 10 seconds before they wore through the belts and exploded.
More about this event soon…

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.
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.
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.

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
