Lighting Tracks on Fire and Killing Tires: Stateline Open Drift.

 This last Sunday I had the opportunity to shoot another drift event with "Stateline Drift". With these photos I used a different software than I have on previous shoots and I have to say I am very pleased with the results. So here are some of the better photos of the event, potentially having already been seen if you pay attention to the Stateline Drift Facebook page or my photography website, I might make some comments on the photos, but I might not. Enjoy freinds.

 This was the first time I caught up with the villains, they have some pretty rad videos on YouTube linked in the purple text, and after spending a lot of time working on and driving in their cars and an unknown amount of time in Seattle drifting at Evergreen Speedway and at PARC in Canby OR it is easy to see that they know how to drift.

 This was Dave, he drives a pink V8 swapped miata, and tears it up.

 I was very pleased to find that I caught the driver in the rear view mirror of this and one other photo. luck or skill I'm not sure, but it is what it is.

 This RB25 swapped s13 was probably my favorite car at the event, not the fastest or the best, but my favorite for reasons I'm still trying to figure out.

This Silvia was swapped with an RB20 engine and sounded great out on the track. Cant go wrong with a swapped s-chassis.

 This S13 was another of my favorites, the V8's are fun and all for great power on tap and reliability, but a jz swapped S chassis is probably the purest form of modern drifter and "I just can't get enough."

 These three destroyed the track a couple times. Watching the triple tandem was probably the highlight of the event for me, that or my ham and cheese sandwich I had for lunch, kinda a toss up.

Feel free to comment and share what you think of these neat photos, I'd love to hear from you guys! And if your interested in prints leave a comment and we can go from there.

Cloudy, Teal and a Couple of the JZ

It would be hard to find a fellow AirPumper (individual who drives an AirPump with more than a utilitarian mindset) who doesn't have a dream car. This may be an Italian exotic with a high reving 27 cylinder engine, or a thirsty American luxury car with a bit less cylinders and that much more displacement. But for me, I have a dream of almost any every day car that has been modified to perfection with a raspy low cylinder engine, induced forcefully with Air.

Case in point this perfected is300 on AMEs with one large Turbo by Garrett  and two JZs in the engine bay, I'd have put three in there but hey it's not my Pump. I love the consistency of the build and the teal color is to die for. I recently saw this feller for sale on craigslist after the Offset Kings show and was astonished that the owner was selling such a unique Pump. Unfortunately I didn't have the funds at the time and couldn't purchase. But this car opitimizes my dream car. One that can transport some buddies, looks like a monster and has the numbers to back it up. Form, function, and forced induction. Can't go wrong. What's your dream car? Let me know in the comments section below. Maybe I'll get a shoot on it!

Also I really like the blue polish rag. I use one of these for my car(more on that in later posts). Can't beat a blue polish rag. Something about that color.
