Houston: A day at 786 Motoring pt.1

Well, if you are from this region of America (i.e. Texas) and you have ever been a part of the drift community, whether to drift or be a spectator, then you have undoubtedly heard of 786 Motoring. Last Saturday I had actually dropped in to say what’s up to my good friends over at 786 Motoring, Ameen and Amir Rizvi (Brothers, and owners of 786) to see when the next night drifting activity is going down (stay tuned for some vids :exvitermini style: ). While there, I saw a couple of cars that I thought deserved a bit of attention. Although all I had was a 28-135 kit lens with my 40D that day, I still snapped a couple of pictures and went about my way to Dim Sum later that day. These were cars were just sitting in the lot, begging to be driven.

Here’s a couple.

Alex from Dailydrifter.com (on temporary leave from drifting due to family.) Also, note, Alex is one of the pioneers of organized drifting in Houston, along with John Yim, and some others *skipping my mind right now*)

The 86 coupe is Brad Burnett’s, I will definitely have more on this car later, it is a madly sick ride. In this picture, he just put on those rims for offset sakes, no not real Wanatanabes, I think….centerline or sportmax, can’t remember…and did I mention, he is a hell of a driver.

Who is that monkey man on that Cressida? Oh, just Ameen putting a 2JZ-GTE VVTI into his Cressida, some might have seen this car last year in California hitting a wall pretty hard ;), well this time it is back bigger and better, so watch out!
