Formula D Atlanta: Part 1

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012
Road Atlanta is a lot of people's favorite track. Personally, I like it because of all the colors and the lack of fences. That makes it an easy place to shoot. It's a favorite for fans because of the layout. Instead of parking your car, walking hella far, and sitting in your seat, you can drive your car almost right up to the track, have a tailgate party, set up a canopy, bring your own chairs and a cooler, and chill. For the drivers, they like the fact that it's an actual road course as opposed to an oval or… Read More

The Oregon Trail Rally: Part 1

Tuesday, May 8th, 2012
The Oregon Trail Rally is the first of two west coast stops for the Rally America championship. I'd been wanting to attend this rally for years, but somehow never got the chance. Well, since Life Blasters is increasing its motorsports coverage this year, I figured I'd better finally go. I met up with Alex… Read More

From the Archives ● FD Sonoma 2008

Saturday, April 28th, 2012
Looking through old stuff again, I found my unedited set from Sonoma in 2008! This was my second season shooting FD so I felt like an old timer at the time. Boy was I wrong about that. Here we have 2011 champ Dai Yoshihara in Rhys Millen's GTO. Rhys won the championship with this car in 2005. Rhys had a new toy though.… Read More

Editorial: Photography and Copyrights

Tuesday, April 24th, 2012
It seems that the current generation has a grossly skewed idea of what a copyright is. Just look up a music video on YouTube and you've got a good chance of seeing a user say something along the lines of "I am not claiming copyright of this video. All copyrights belong to the original author." What that says to me is that many people think a copyright is merely a claim to authorship, and a work may be copied as long as they say they're not the author and/or say who… Read More

The Long Beach Grand Prix: Day 3

Monday, April 23rd, 2012
The rain was all but a memory as everyone dragged themselves back to the GP circuit for the third day. The ALMS teams had packed up and gone, leaving their paddock empty save a smattering of show cars and classic Ferraris. But excitement was still in the air, as the weekend's main event was still to come: The 38th running of the Long Beach Grand Prix. Read More

Surfing in the OC

Thursday, April 19th, 2012
After visiting Jordan Innovations I headed down to Orange County to meet up with some other friends. I had some time to kill so I stopped by the Huntington Beach pier to check out the surfing! There's actually a pretty decent view of downtown Long Beach from the pier. It's 21 miles to the Convention Center from… Read More

Jeff Jordan’s BRS Widebody RX-7

Thursday, April 19th, 2012
I stopped by Jordan Innovations last week to check out the progress on Jeff Jordan's widebody FD. He's been working on the project for a few years, going through different body kits, but now he's super serious with a super rare BRS GT widebody kit, which is modeled after the JGTC アスパラドリンク GT300 car.

Fredric Aasbø's Supra

Thursday, April 19th, 2012
Last Wednesday I was hanging out with Larry, and we went over to FSR in Montclair to check out Fredric Aasbø's Supra. I hadn't seen his Supra since Irwindale 2010 so I was excited to see what they were doing to it! Larry had to do a feature on the car for Speedhunters, but Fredric wasn't done doing stuff to it yet, and then it had to get… Read More

After our day at Venice Beach, I took Annie and Justin over to Flagship Society Tattoo Parlor in Garden Grove, where their ride back to the Northwest, Ian Dillon, was getting some new ink. Will Land is the owner and artist. He's originally from the Seattle area, but then moved to Socal and then to Vegas last year where… Read More

Would Chris Forsberg's new 370 be a help or a hindrance in its first competition?… Read More

From the Archives ● Na Pali

Saturday, March 31st, 2012
On the northwest side of Kauai is the Na Pali Coast. Na Pali means "the cliffs" and boy are there some fantastic cliffs there. This stuff goes on for 15 miles and the valleys go pretty much to the center of the island. This makes having a road that circles the entire island impossible.   Lots of cool movies, like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and Pirates of the Caribbean, had scenes shot along the Na Pali coast. Pretty rad.       .:Bohan  … Read More

Altamont

Wednesday, March 14th, 2012
No story about drifting in Norcal would be complete without several chapters on Altamont Raceway. This is the track that brought drifting to the Bay Area's attention, and it's where several drivers go their start and where future teammates met each other for the first time. Without Altamont, Norcal drifting would definitely not be where it is today. Read More
