Maybe some of you know the drifting motorsport from a movie called, Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift, and besides all the mob ties, shootouts, smuggling, and extortion depicted in the Hollywood interpretation, drifting is actually a worldwide legitimate motor sport. Forget what you saw in the FnF franchise movies...nothing compares to seeing Mustangs, Corvettes, and various Amercan Muscle drifting side by side with Hi-Revving Japanese Tuners, Mazda RX7's, 350 Z's, and R-34 Skyline GT-R's. Nothing. These rides will go sideways at 100mph, w/up to 15,000 spectators cheering, tires billowing smoke, and they'll do it all over again never holding anything back. With sanctioning body, Formula Drift, campaigning nationwide (and soon to be worldwide) the sport has been accepted by a wide range of demographics and has opened up gateways for major sponsors and manufacturers alike. Oh shit, did I mention all the models? Well I won't go in to detail, but I'll say that they are some of the best looking spokes models in the motorsports scene.
Check out the Formula Drift widget for video clips, flicks, and the last two scheduled events of the season along with the Red Bull World Finals, all taking place on the West Coast...this Saturday Sept. 13th in Sonoma, California, Formula Drift will be tearing up the wine country for Round 6, then check out The Final Fight where all points leaders will battle it out for the Championship, October 11th in Irwindale, California, and for the first time, Formula D will be hosting the Red Bull World Finals, at the port of good ole' Long Beach, California. There will be Professional Drifters from countries like Malaysia, Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, Mexico,New Zealand and China all competing against U.S. for the World Title November 15th and 16th...its a pretty heavy deal and if your into cars like I am, these events you shouldn't miss. For more info go to Formuladrift.com and for more video clips check out my Formula D videos.
*oh yeah and if you wanna hear some dope music too, I will be spinning at all 3 events at the Grandstands (MarBinski will also be rockin' guest sets at Irwindale & LongBeach), and help run production with Belle-1 Racing Communications. If you hear everything from rock, reggae, funk, good hip-hop, breaks, to some banging intrumentals...thats us up there in the tower....HOLLA!
