Amanda picked up her long desired S13 this past week. She’s quite excited as well she should be. This thing is a cream puff! ‘93 SE with power everything, COLD A/C… yea, you read that correctly; cold a/c. The only down side to the car is the hood which had a battle with a tree branch. Other than that, its a winner.

You know what the problem with auto racing videos is? There is very little creativity in them. Its always the same ‘ol thing over and over again. And very rarely does someone produce a video that intrigues and/or keeps your attention throughout its entirety. That, without a doubt, CANNOT be said about Will Roegge’s latest piece. It is simply brilliant in every sense of the term. Just watch it. You’ll thank me.

You’re either with him, or against him.

Few pics of the AE86 that Ive come across from various photogs.

The crew of MotorMavens came out to the Triple Threat 2 event a couple of weeks and just published a great write-up about it. Be sure to check it out. And make sure to keep your eye on MotorMavens. Its going to be the new hawtness.

Since I write about Twitter last year, Im please to say that many more automotive people are jumping on board. And to my surprise, there are quite a few Formula D drivers with accounts. There’s a few that aren’t utilizing the service (looking at your Dmac) but perhaps that’ll change. Regardless, Ive put together a small list of Formula D drivers with Twitter accounts. Be sure to follow them during this weekend’s Round 3 at Wallspeedway in Jersey.

Watching videos from the Jland are rad and all, but what I really love seeing is the behind the scenes stuff. The environment of the paddock and whats going down behind all the tire smoke. The following video by Luke does just that. It starts off slow and warm but it doesn’t take too long before we get back to the throttle smashing tire blazing.

Following FD Atlanta, Southeast Drift held their first of three Triple Threat events in Atlanta. And with a lot of the FD drivers still in town, you can imagine how insane it got. Ive seen so many people at a Turner Field event. All in all it was a blast although I really didn’t get the car dialed in until my very last run of the day. That and the damn exahust fell of twice during the event. I have a whole ‘nother post coming on that though.

Quick wrap-up from Formula D Atlanta 2009

Ive been insanely busy the last couple of weeks. Freelance work has nearly tripled which has left me very little time to keep this site updated. So inlight of that, Im going to streamline some stuff in order to catch up.
