After round one we were sitting in 14th place overall and super stoked for round two. But we were also battling some fuel mapping problems and minor wiring issues. We tried to drive around it and sort it out before round two.

If you follow us on Facebook, then you know our dear friends at Drift Union just dropped a trailer for their next big video. In true D.U. fashion, it looks bigger and better than ever and we are hyped on it. The only issue with sharing things on Facebook is they only stay relevant for a short time; this deserves to stay relevant for a long time. If you haven’t watched it, watch it. And if you have watched it, watch it again.

I have been dividing a lot of our content between our Facebook page and the site itself. So if you follow us on Facebook then I am sorry because you have seen some of these shots. However, if you don’t follow us on Facebook, you should get on it.

“Early in the morning, risin’ to the street” is all I can think to start this post with, not because I’m a huge Sublime fan but more like it is exactly what we did on Saturday. Before we could get to Summer Session, we had to get to Saskatoon and that was nothing that a quick 2 hour cruise wouldn’t solve.

Wow, it has been a long time since I last made a post or a video for that matter. I suppose moving from Canada’s “Best Coast” back to Northern Alberta might have a role to play in that. I’d have to honestly say that moving back home from Vancouver was one of the toughest moves I’ve ever made. With so much culture, people and things to do in and around Vancouver, I felt like moving back to Alberta was a death sentence. But then, I realized that moving back home with such a negative attitude was very selfish of me. When you are surrounded by good friends and family you really have nothing to complain about, and I couldn’t be any happier. Oh yeah, and one other thing to be stoked about, the Drift Union Invitational!

Back in the day, back before Alex Lee got his Formula D debut, back before all the drama in the western league. We got to see some of the best drifting the west had to offer.

I can honestly say that I haven’t been to a show like DTP in a very long time, if ever. Tucked away in a warehouse district somewhere in Vancouver is Rocky Mountaineer Station. A surprisingly trendy building that shares a street with Homedepot and the Vancouver city Skyline. Although, the parking lot is where much of the action was found.

As I had mentioned yesterday, this was my first visit to Castrol Raceway. With so many different places to stand you could never be in all the right places to really capture the action.

When some of us think of Edmonton, our thoughts immediately go to its giant mall, its zoo, or the hip shopping district that is Whyte Ave. But car enthusiasts know there’s something equally exciting just around the bend: Spec D. Usually Spec D events are left to Tony K., but since I happened to be in the neighborhood, I decided to join him for a drift practice at Castrol Raceway.

This is kind of like an official sequel to yesterday’s WWW post. You see Friday night after a certain film premier I managed to grab some hard-parkers in their natural habitat. I am proud to say not one of them revved their engine.
