Event Coverage: Fabricated Motorsports’ The Mexican Standoff.
A Mexican standoff is a slang term defined as a stalemate or impasse, a confrontation that neither side can forseeably win. In popular culture, the Mexican standoff is usually portrayed as three or more opponents with guns drawn and ready, creating a tense situation. Neither side is willing to shoot for fear of being shot in return, yet neither side wants to relinquish its weapons for fear that its opponents will shoot them. This situation forces the participants to resolve the situation either by diplomacy, surrender, or a pre-emptive strike.
Everything IS bigger in Texas. That includes Carbon wings.

Event Coverage Preview: The Mexican Standoff.
As I'm writing this on my way back from Mineral Wells, TX in DFan's comfy 4 door civic, I can't help but think how dedicated a lot of Texas Drifters are. I bitch and moan about a 5 hour drive to a sleepy town that nobody has heard of, but these guys not only make that same drive, but they also wrench on their cars all the way up to the last minute for these drift events held by Fabricated Motorsports. These guys are pretty serious when it comes to making these events, and this event was no different.

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!

Event Coverage: N.S.T. 5th Anniversary Drift Competition & Car Show Part 1.
This past sunday, the good folks over at NonStopTuning, a.k.a. NST, celebrated their illustrious 5 year anniversary in La Marque, TX with over one thousand close friends and family! While some businesses celebrate with cheaply made cake and cheesy party hats, NST took it a few steps further by holding a drift competition and car show held at Gulf Greyhound Park just south of Houston. Despite the bitter forty degree weather, that didn't seem to stop the hundreds of spectators from (as JohnP so eloquently put it) getting their drift fix. Luckily, there wasn't any disappointment from the drifters as they put on their multiple layers of clothing and kept their heads warm in their helmets.

OTWeb Video: Ken Block’s DC vid on Crystal Meth.
I called in to my job today on account that i'm getting sick, and with my line of work, I have to talk to a lot of people. So while the rain was killing any hopes that I could at least wash my car today, I sat down and watched some DVD's that I haven't gotten around to doing yet. One of those DVD's, DSport DVD #10, has the Ken Block Gymkhana 2 video on it. While it definitely looked great on my TV, it reminded me of a video that was posted on our man Alexi's Blog, NoriYaro. In this version of the same video (kind of), it was remixed by a guy that MUST be trippin' on acid. The result? Pure mayhem.
To get the full effect, you have to play this bad boy full screen.
Enjoy!

First Look: Ameen Rizvi’s Balls Out Toyota Cressida.
As I write this post, Ameen Rizvi and the 786 Motoring crew are still driving through Arizona with precious cargo aboard. The cargo in question is proof of a Labor of Love put together through the last several years by Ameen. The 1989 Toyota Cressida is undoubtably the sole reason why the road trip exists. The destination is the sunny skies of Irwindale, California, host to this weekend's Formula D Pro-Am.

Japan: A day with Alexi @ Nikko Circuit Pt. 3
In the final part of our series of A day in Nikko Circuit, we will concentrate on Alexi Smith. Alexi Smith is a pretty well known guy from Australia and runs a blog about his adventures in Japan called Nori Yaro . He speaks fluent Japanese, and has also guest blogged for SpeedHunters. You may have seen him in the JR goes drifting in Japan series, or you may have seen some of his work in Hot Version. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the man during my stay in Tokyo, Japan.
This is Alexi. This is his Mark 2. Say hi.
Japan: A day with Alexi @ Nikko Circuit pt. 2
Drifting. The mention of the word sends different thoughts through my head. AE86's, Touge, D1, wild body kits, bright colors and tire smoke are just a few words that come to mind. Of those, the one constant word that always comes back is JAPAN.
The heartland and origin of drifting as we all know it today. What better way to experience drifting than to go to the source. Lucky for me, my buddy Ameen from 786 motoring hooked me up with Alexi Smith from Ziptied.com.
