The Blogs | SMOKE SUNBURN AND STRETCHED TIRES: ASB4

On Sunday, tons of people were running Horse Thief Mile with their hoods off - presumably to keep their engines cooler since it was well over 100 degrees at the track? Either way, they still looked cool! Check out Justin Pawlak in the blue FC chasing down Forrest Wang's green S13!

It was cool to see the DA guys, Tony Angelo, Chris Forsberg and Justin Pawlak out at the event having fun at the Willow Springs Balcony; practicing team drifting with their actual Formula D competition cars (actually, Forsberg was driving his 350Z backup car - his original 350Z that used to be silver). Everyone out at the paddocks loved watching them go nuts with their unrehearsed freestyle drifting runs.

The run group of these two S13s and the dark silver S15 looked pretty chaotic! They weren't all driving the same line, and not everyone seemed capable of drifting at the same speed, but they still managed to drift together aggressively and safely, while looking cool! Here, we see the black S13 leading with a wide line, while the S15 and the burgundy S13 follow with a tighter line on the inside. It looked real crazy to watch, but they drove pretty safely and nobody crashed, which is what matters!

I absolutely loved this dark silver S15 Silvia!!! I'm not quite sure who owned it, but it had a very capable driver and an awesome stance! This S15 was drifting with super low stance and good offset Work XD9 wheels! I loved watching this thing! I think it's from San Diego because of the Drift Circuit sticker on the side window... I should have looked for the owner of this car in the pits, but it was super hot that day, so at the time I was more concerned with finding some cold water to rehydrate myself!
