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
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
After a quick off-season full of rumors and anticipation, we finally got to see everyone's cards on the table. Daigo Saito's entry into Formula D was one of the most talked-about subjects but there were plenty of other changes too. Read More
Matt Ulfelder from Socal was over at the FD Tech Day yesterday and got some photos of Ross Petty's S15 for us. Have a look at his Guestblast! -Bohan I went to Formula Drift Tech Day at the Source Interlink office in Irvine today. A good handful of competing… Read More
Long Beach is only two weeks away, and a lot of teams are scrambling to get their cars ready in time. Conrad needed new graphics so I went down to his personal shop in Monterey to make that happen. This year's design is only a little bit different from last year's, but it's still a good amount of work to get it all done. Taking vinyl off can actually take longer than putting it on, depending on what it was stuck to. 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
Gabe's car came back from paint finally, so I went down to Blu808 to check it out. I don't see too many bright red E36's so this one will be an eyecatcher for sure! When I showed up, gabe was grinding the paint away from the rear subframe mounting points so they could be welded all the way around. They're just spot… Read More
Today I took a trip down to Blu808 to see what was going on. Luke always has interesting projects going on, and I was specifically interested in seeing how Gabe Stone's E36 M3 was coming along. Long Beach is coming up fast. Will Gabe be ready? I brought a Blasting Cap for Luke. He was so excited to wear it that he almost… Read More
Every year as the year comes to a close, Thunderdrift gives you one last chance to go drifting. This year's big year-end event was Sam Mercado's Tropical Hula Girl Drift, which consisted of Super-Am Round 4 on the Driftpad with open drifting and gripping sessions on the big track. Not a bad way to spend the last weekend before Christmas if you ask me. Read More
In all of our travels throughout the last twelve months, a handful of photos stands out from the rest. Many end up as wallpapers. A few never make it into posts. But when digging through a hard drive, they're the ones you keep coming across that make you say "Damn! This one is awesome!" These are those photos. December 2010: On the remote northwestern tip of Maui, I waited in a light,… Read More
Ahhh SEMA, that once a year excuse to go to Vegas that has nearly everyone in the automotive industry working overtime for weeks. The paint on some of the cars is only days old when they show up at the convention center, and the whole place is buzzing with news of all the new things happening in 2012. Read More
There sure is a lot of awesome stuff on my old hard drive! Sonoma 2007 was my first time at Formula D, and it's clear I had no idea how to shoot drifting back then. Oh well, here's Joon Maeng in an S13! Is this the same one I saw him with at Redline Time Attack earlier this year? Maybe. It was Kyle Mohan's rookie season,… Read More
This is quite possibly the first photo I ever took of 2011 Formula D champion Daijiro Yoshihara, back at the San Jose Grand Prix in 2007's Formula D team drift exhibition. There were a lot of big names at this event, including 2006 Sonoma winner Calvin Wan... Read More
I don't even know what to say about Joe and Justin's new teaser. All I know is they better be millionaires after the full length movie comes out! .: Bohan
