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.

Let’s go back to a simpler time — a time before the Drift Union Inviataional occured. Picture it, Penticton Speedway, 2:30 PM, Saturday, June 11th. Atop a mighty mountain, the surrounding area is littered with old race cars that have outlived their usefulness. As time passes, the parking lot fills with new cars, ready to risk the same fate as those that came before them — all for a little taste of the glory.
