Since everyone is paying tribute to this day of the Hachiroku, I thought I’d throw mine up here.
19 July 09 – MSC Round 6
Filed under Automotive
It’s rainy season in Japan but for an event Tohoku drifters waited for a long time to come, no one was going to back down and luckily the rain stopped and the track dried up for the rest of the day. The event judges were the usual except Ryuji Miki was in attendance instead of Nob Taniguchi. It’s kinda crazy that Miki flew all the way to Northern Japan a week after placing second in Formula D round 4 in Las Vegas.
First place on expert class was taken by Masanori Kohashi (RPS13), D1 SL competitor and the beginner’s class winner is Shizuka Suzuki (FC3S).

Footage from Round 2 of the Dynamite Drift Competition held at Motorland SP in Nanbu, Japan on the 21st of June.
Our friend Donnie ended up taking second in the beginner class, congrats to him! The winner of the expert class turned out to be the japanese guy driving the red S15 Silvia.
I had a great time going out there to film this event. It was actually the first Dynamite Drift event that i had ever been too. The weather forecast said we were expecting rain, but in the end i came home with a nasty sunburn and a whole lot of decent footage. I can’t wait until Round 3!

21 Jun 2009 – Dynamite Drift Round 2 at MSP was indeed eventful. Not only the winner of the expert class drifted his way to the trophy after flipping his car over and having one of our very own Donny Knight take second place in the begginers class.
Congrats again Donnie!

It’s raining.. lets go drift
Filed under Automotive
So, you’re chillin at home and looking out the window watching it rain all day and all of a sudden your friend calls and wants to go drifting, so what do you do? Fucking right doggie, you pack up and call another friend and see if they want to go.
Needless to say, me, Jason and Phil were at the track one rainy afternoon and it was a blast.
Photos taken by me and Jason.

MSP D1 Festival
Filed under Automotive
The relationship between MSP and Ebisu cannot be more concrete than ever with this event hel on the 10th of May 2009 at MSP with Team Orange, Drift Zamurai and a couple of D1 GP/D1 SL drivers showing up along with other Tohoku drifters.
The guests overwhelmed the track and gave the D1 drivers a great welcome once again. Too bad my camera’s battery went out later in the afternoon.
