The Grand Drift Championship Round 3 / Gator Drift Bash – December 19, 2015

December 22, 2015December 22, 2015 by Dave Bell

The event this past Saturday December 19th, took place at Auto Plus Raceway in Gainesville, FL, home of one of the most famous ¼ mile tracks in drag racing and the Gator Nationals NHRA race every March. No, drivers would not be using the main track, but rather 2 different courses depending on their skill level and competition entry. The event had a very strong grassroots feel, and is hopefully the beginning of something special.

A Spectator’s View – Formula Drift Irwindale – Oct 10, 2015

Every year in California, we Californians are so lucky to have two Formula Drift events each year. I am glad that I live in the central California where drifting events happen to be in 4 hours north, or 4 hours south. Formula Drift is one of my favorite “I GOT TO GO” drift events. No matter what the circumstances are, each year, I plan to attend both Long Beach and Irwindale.

Super Street x Hardcore Cali Invasion – August 9, 2015

D, a man on a mission. His objective? To bring the lost culture of Japanese car enthusiast style to the states. Style? Indeed! Style and quality not only limited to only drif,t but to the entire Japanese car scene. Simplified, his mission is to bring quality, excitement and thrill back into the genre of cars. Events have become too structured, which I understand can affect the quality of experience with drivers and participants.

Nitto Tire once again hosted its Auto Enthusiast day at Angel Stadium on Saturday August 1st, 2015. While the Angels were busy getting smacked by the Dodgers across town, the parking lot of Angel Stadium was filled with cars from all walks of life. Tuners, muscle, old school and new were all in attendance for this celebratory day of car culture. Amidst all the cars parked for admiration, a dedicated skid pad was set up for demos by stunt bikes, trucks, and Formula Drift drivers.
