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

  May 6th, 2011, marked the first day drifting has ever been allowed on the Jackson County Sports Park kart track, located in White City, Oregon, since its opening in 1996. Having autocrossed on this track, in this very car, back in late '07, I've been chomping at the bit to drift here for quite a while. Thanks to a local European car club, RogueEuro.com, this dream became a reality.   Read More

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

  Last Sunday marked the opening day for 2012 drift season at Pat's Acres Racing Complex, commonly known as PARC, hosted by Loki Motorsports. In addition to this, it would also be the first time that the track's new extensions would be driven on. Having these new extensions would help the track have a better flow for the avid drift enthusiasts that regularly attend. … Read More

Last Saturday was ThunderDrift's Full-Track February event. Upon arrived to the track, I found our favorite red dreaded Formula D dude, Luke Crowell, out rippin' in his Cressida.   Read More

Welcome friends, to my retrospective post on 2011. That special time of year when I reflect on all the adventures I had a part in, and get to go through heaps and heaps of photos which ends up being an adventure all on its own. This year I came to a few realizations during the quest for my best photos, one of which was a disappointing one. I need to be more careful when deleting files. I won't cry on and on about how my favorite photos from this year were lost… Read More

  What a year 2011 has been. It's been such a privilege to be a part of the Life Blasters crew, and I can't wait for what 2012 holds in store for us. My first Life Blasters post was on the PGP event in March, so I think I'll start with that. Jason Cancio has probably my absolute favorite car that drives that track. Not for its JDM radness, but for its pure originality. Stock metal, stock wheels, stock aero, slammed rwd STi hatch cannot lose.… Read More

Once upon a time in Oakland, I went with the boys from Performance Options to a rap video shoot on Mare Island, a decommissioned military facility north of the SF Bay Area. Wait a moment... let me do some explaining to prepare you for what you're about to read before I continue. This may prove to be the most difficult to understand article you've ever… Read More

  What I'll miss about metal quarter panels is rubbing off the excess sidewall when running fresh tires and seeing the looks on the faces of concerned pedestrians and drivers alike. I'll also miss occasionally being pushed down the highway by the likes of Joe Ayala or Geoff Pitts BECAUSE MISSILE CAR.   The thing is, I'm starting to grow up (kinda) and my car is following suit and that's okay. Life sucks without change. Here's to a new generation of mine and Joe's cars. One filled with big lips, stretched… Read More

Every few months Frank Siharath from Garage Boso comes up to Performance Options in Oakland to do some ECU tuning on NorCal cars. This time, Pat Mordaunt drove up with Frank and took a few moments from his busy day to let me interview him. Thanks Pat!

The following two days went by fairly fast. Most of our time we spent going to the big street markets to find some cool stuff to bring home. The big market we liked was a little too far to walk to, so we got courageous and headed to the streets to get some cabs. Read More

As some of you may know, Justin Shreeve and I got the opportunity to join Larry Chen in filming the World Drift Series in Tianjin, China. Our Journey began Saturday night, as we were meeting Larry and the U.S. drivers for the event at LAX. Justin and I arrived to the airport a few hours early, so we had time to mess around with our cameras… Read More

Off with the old and on with the new. As some of you may know, Justin and I recently picked up some new kicks for our cars. His 17x10.5 +11 Work VS-KFs and my 17x10.5 +11 Work VS-XXs would be the first proper set of wheels that our cars have worn. Justin wasted no time on converting his car to 5 lug. While under his car he increased his steering angle a lot more by throwing in some Cor Integration knuckles (chuckles) by John Corvinus, Tein tie rods, and a pair of steering… Read More

With so many Japanese cars having two-digit numerical components to their chassis codes, it's a wonder only the Toyota AE86 (mid 80s Corolla) owners celebrate the appropriate day. Every year on 8/6, AE86 owners from around the world get all riled up, the blogs post photos of famous or interesting AE86's, and many enthusiasts get together at meets like the one Rick Cunanan of SlideYourRide throws every year.   This year the meet was at One Toyota of Oakland, and many of the big names… Read More

Will Roegge loves clouds and gave me a good appreciation for clouds too. Because of this, I tend to take photos of them now again. Luckily I started noticing the cool clouds around halfway through the Formula DRIFT qualifying session today at Wall Stadium. The weather app on my phone predicted… Read More
