Who could have guessed that Road Atlanta would hold such a prestigious place in American drifting history? For sure the South is a hotbed of car culture and racing activity, but most Japanese influence is in Los Angeles and the rest of the West Coast. Eventual FD founders Jim Liaw and Ryan Sage were involved with D1 coming to Irwindale in 2003 so when it came time to start the US's own professional drifting series in 2004, where would it make sense to hold the first event?

Bohan has been in my ear constantly for the past few months with pleas of making a trip to Yosemite in the winter. "Evvvveryone gets the same shots all summer, I want awesome ones with snow!" he says. Last Wednesday having just returned to the office from a
different snowy expedition, I told Bohan that we should try to get the trip in soon before our schedules filled up. After a brief period of concentrated thought, we decided to leave that very night at midnight. This would allow us to catch a sunrise,…

I've been absent from the dirt bike scene for several years now, so Tuesday was not only an opportunity to take some photos of my younger brother Graeme, but a great chance for me to shake off the cobwebs and do some riding of my own!

The bikes are housed deep in the woods of Nevada…

We've been anxiously awaiting this year's 25 Hours of Thunderhill, thinking of shots, going over ideas, planning, and waiting. But then sometimes the unexpected happens. Just a week or so before North America's longest endurance race was set to start, Geoff got a call from NASA Race Director Jeff Mohler, to see if he'd be interested in flying to Willows with him in a Cessna. Of course Geoff wanted to do that, but he also arranged for Jeff to give Joe and me an aerial…

Formula DRIFT Irwindale is upon us, and because it's the last round of the season, we wanted to do something extra special. As you may already know, we travel to FD Las Vegas we take the extra-long route through Yosemite's Tioga Pass to celebrate where we birthed the idea for Life Blasters, so in similar fashion we decided to take the scenic route to Southern California. Our story begins shortly after dawn at Fort Point, near the southern landing of the Golden Gate Bridge. Our goal was to travel…

The cars are cool, but for us, it's usually the people that make an event fun and memorable. Wekfest is usually the first event of the year where we get reunited with our out-of-town photog buddies and see all our local friends in one place.
