Derrick Lopez Subaru WRX STi driftingThe Utah Drift scene has been well, lacking. Many people have stepped up and tried to make it successful, but for one reason or another, it hasn’t thrived. This is the year we sincerely hope that changes. Brandon Wicknick is now competing in Formula D, and this first event of the season went remarkably well.

This is thanks in no small part to the guys who put it together. Jason Smith, Mike Fulkerson, Brent Cheney, and more behind the scenes all helped bring this event together and solicited the help of the drift community to see what works and doesn’t work.

This made the event fun and a great place to shake off the cobwebs.

D-Spare Nissan 240 drift update

by admin

The guys at D-Spare recently updated their look for the 2012 season. They asked us to grab some pics and a video and this is what we came back with.

It’s still mostly the same car. It’s still packing a Toyota 1JZ engine, and it still has the widebody kit on it. What you don’t see until they remove the deck lid or pop the hood is all the custom fabrication they did in the off season. They gutted the trunk and did a tubular front end. This work resulted in a 3rd place finish at Vegas ProAm round 2.

We will be out at the Vegas Pro-Am event in June snapping shots of this car and others.

Thanks to Brandon and Jose.

Formula Drift 2012: Round 1

by admin

Lexus SC430 Drift car

I was fortunate enough recently to go to the first round of the 2012 Formula Drift season in Long Beach. And it was an exciting one! There were 19 rookies competing for a spot, 5 of whom made it into the Round of 32. Ken Gushi also debuted his Greddy Scion FR-S. And Dai Yoshihara, the defending champ returned.

The track takes place on turns 9, 10, and 11 of the Long Beach Grand Prix course. These turns might have a bit of a texture difference come next weeks race compared to the other turns.

Rubber was being shred at every opportunity. In the Round of 16, Rhys Millen messed up a drift and took out his anger on the rear tires of his Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

The battles were hard-fought and there were more than a few crashes throughout practice. However, when the dust and tire debris settled, the winner was crowned. In 3rd place was the rookie Daigo Saito in the Lexus SC430, 2nd place went to Dai Yoshihara in his Nissan 240SX, and the winner, Justin Pawlak in a Ford Mustang! We can’t wait to watch the next round and we will return to as many of these events as we can.

Nissan 240sx Drifting in UtahRecently, the Utah Drift scene found a deserted track that the owner was willing to rent out for a cheap price. This of course led to a great drift session out in Eagle Mountain, UT. We were on hand to witness this event, and click ‘Continue Reading’ to see some of the photos we shot. (more…)
