Another forum that we keep up with is www.stanceworks.com and on October 17th, 2009, they will be hosting a meet in Dallas, TX.
Gonna be in Dallas on 10/17? Be there!
Personally, I love the idea that there will be a nice, quality meet here in Texas, and am excited to see what becomes of it. If you live near Dallas, you better be there! Afterwards, come join us at the Texas LoneStar Bash the next day!
This should be an EPIC weekend! See you there!

BMW 5.0L V12 on some sick ass, what looks to be 18×13″ Flat Black HREs. Words cannot describe that engine bay…not to mention this adds to my obsession with the Ultima GTR.
That’s it, Perfection.

Continuing from part one of Mayday’s coverage of the Houston-area September 13th drift event…
One of the greatest things I like about local, grassroots motor sports events is the people that come out to them. Of course it’s always great to see the drift cars, but for many, the event is a great excuse to get out and catch up with some friends and acquaintances. For me, it’s fun to see both old and new faces and to see what new toys people have since the last time i’ve seen their cars.

Heat, Breeze, Heat, Rain, Heat again was the weather pattern for the local grassroots drift event that was hosted this weekend by Aaron Loosely at Gulf Greyhound Park. The turnout this weekend was better than I expected with everyone keeping the “whips” indoors until the much anticipated Lonestar Bash that will be going down in October. It is good to see more of these types events going on, as the local drift community was going through bit of a stall there for a bit. Lots of action on Sunday, from great solo runs to 5 car tandems it was a very entertaining event. Friends, Cars, Girls and Speed…what better way to spend a Sunday.
As I mentally prep myself for the local drift event that will be going down this up and coming weekend on September 13, I was reminded of a bad ass section of a JDM-Insider video. The Clip is from the 2nd Video, and I am sure most people that will see this post have already watched this video… To this day, it still gets me pumped. Toshi Hayama and his crew at JDM-Insider/Stage 10 were definitely on top of their game when they were recording this material. When you watch this clip pay attention to the flavor that the material has. No flashy effects or overbearing music, just raw material, gotta love it.
Enjoy,

I love most all cars, but I have strong feelings towards Japanese nostalgic classic cars. There are just so many, from classic Toyota Celicas, Mazda rotaries and Datsun dimes to Mitsubishi GTO’s and Honda S500’s. Unfortunately, many of the kids nowadays don’t know about classic Japanese cars past the Toyota Corolla (AE86). That is, unless they’ve been playing Wangan Midnight on their Playstations and Xboxes.
The Datsun/Nissan S30 240Z was Nissan’s very first affordable sports coupe available to the public masses back in the early 70’s. With it’s timeless styling, punchy inline 6 cylinder motor, and it’s very trackable suspension, it was easy to see why these cars were so popular. These cars have an almost cult-like following, and is not just limited to Japan, but all over the world.
So sexy, it hurts. A modified Z is an instant classic.
