Lone Star Bash 2010: A Host’s Perspective.

“May 16, 2010 marked the date of the second Lone Star Bash. LSB as we will refer to it is an idea more than anything. Basically by labeling an event such as this, everyone knows exactly what event they need to ALL come out to, all at once. LSB is a date to bring everyone together. There are no draws like prize money, naked import models, trophies, cotton ball smoke on top of mirrors, or any of that. The draw is hanging out with awesome people that think alike, tandeming 10 cars deep with 100 mph entries, partying the night before, and being a part of something big. While the car show scene has died out in the last few years, leaving the giants HIN and NOPI dead, the drift scene has exploded. And yet it has stayed very grass roots at the same time.

Random Snap(s): Late night S14.

One night after doing a rig shot on an upcoming feature car, we decided to mess around and take a few shots on our guinea pig car, Mikey’s S14. It seems we test a lot of things out on his car. Anywho, they came out kinda blurry, but I thought it’d be fun to share with everyone. Check it out:

BLANG BLANG

Then again, we kinda like to have a little fun….

This is the only PG rated shot we could post

EL OH EL.

Event Coverage: The Mother of All Honda Meets – Eibach 2010 Pt. 1

In our Preview, you may have seen a few pictures of what Honda enthusiasts call the ultimate Honda Mecca, the Eibach meet 2010. I’m sure by now, if you even keep up with the Honda scene, you’ve no doubt seen the various picture threads popping up everywhere on local forum boards and on NWP4life and Honda-Tech. You’ll even see coverage from multiple blogs no doubt, such as SpeedHunters, The Chronicles, and MotorMavens, but we will be showing you a different take on this years Eibach meet. Most people only see the actual show/meet side, with thousands of people running around and taking snaps, but what you DON’T see is the perspective of someone that attends these meets on a regular basis, sort of an inside view, so with that in mind we will be letting our resident Honda fanboy give you his insight on this years meet.

As Ice Cube and Chris Tucker once put it, "DAAAAAAAAAAMMMNN!!!"

Preview: The Mother of All Honda Meets- Eibach 2010

Ah it’s that time of year again.
For some people it means spending your tax return to buy that new car you’ve been eyeing, for others it may mean it’s time to think about how to spend your summer vacation.

But for a few thousand people, it means it’s time to make the trek to Corona, California, home of Eibach, the famous suspension company that just so happens to host the now world famous Eibach Meet. If you don’t know what the Eibach meet is, you should go ahead and go back to watching NASCAR and look no further. Eibach has been hosting this Honda Meet for years, with each year growing at an alarming rate, with this particular year’s turnout being the biggest. As we go through the hundreds of photos taken by our buddy, Andrew Machac, we will post it as soon as we can, so stay tuned! We <3 our Hondas!

This is .00001% of how many cars were in attendance, and 99% of them were Hondas

From The Outside Looking In: A Texan’s View Of FormulaD: Atlanta Pt. 2

In part one, I kinda went over how my past experiences with FormulaD were, all on a high note. Being at FormulaD Atlanta was something else. It was like what I remember from the Houston event, but on some serious roids. They say everything in Texas is bigger, which for the most part is true, but I gotta hand it to Atlanta, they knew what was up.

This Falken girl was SMOKING HOT, just like all day friday at Road Atlanta

Coming in HOT!

Reminder: Texas Lonestar Bash is today!

You don’t want to miss out on this huge event going on just west of Dallas today!

Words from Aaron Losey:
“I humbly present to you the Lonestarbash. The most epic of all the events, the one to rule them all, and in the darkness give you blood alcohol poisoning. The epicness will be amazing, this is by far the craziest event of the year. Go and you will understand what Texas drifting is all about.

In all seriousness, I created this event to bring everyone together at the same time, so we can have the most amazing event Texas has ever seen. Last year we succeeded X 10! The whole point is by providing everyone with one target event to go to, the MUST go to event of the year, everyone gets together at the same time. Sounds simple, but what it means is a bunch of parties all over the place, crazy stories, 10 + car tandem, amazing photography and video coming out of the event, and a huge show for the spectators. The proceeds of last years Lonestarbash were responsible for renting us a road course this year, at Grand Sport Speedway. So the event is really double edged, in that it gets everyone together for something magical, and then gives it back later on!”

Everyone’s going! Where are YOU gonna be?
