After a slow winter, it was a good time to get drifting, with any means possible. A lot of the team drivers are still working on the car they call home, so this meant to drift, you had to bring out your missles. Trent was the only one driving his track beast, while Ian, Pete, Pat and Shelby were rocking the cars they bought to beat on without any worries.
Trent was loving the new VVTI 1uzfe that Bill at The Independent Speed Shop just tuned. The car looked as well as sounded great.
Shelby was looking good in his black beater, which now after the event is getting the KA-T upgade. :)
Ian and his Father in Law were having fun in his beater 240sx, which after a wall tap, is now officially a missile car. Tim, Ian's Father in Law had never drifted before, and by the end of the day was getting the hang of it. Awesome.
Pat was liking the E30 beast he and Reagan had built, until his radiator broke...
That ended his fun for a few hours while trying to find a fix. Pete busted out his new S14 slut, and was driving top dollar, even on a KA.
It's alive, Pat was back on the track, with a GM rad, all ziptied in place. lol
Pete looking style in the face with his amber glasses and Neptune D hat. Look, I see gray hair...

A few of the Drift Safari guys went up to Penticton to the Drift Union Invitational over the July 1st long weekend. Here is a cool video the guys at Dodologic put together. Nice.
Here is a video that features the Drift Safari guys at the N.O.S. Forum Fest 2010 at Pacific Raceways. It is raw, but still cool. I do not know the film maker.
Drift Safari was invited to drive at the NOS Forum Fest at Pacific Raceways in Seattle. A lot of the team attended and ripped it up hard. Mat, Ian, Trent, Steve, Kohei, Pete, and Matt Do all drove the event. The course was setup with 2 main drifting sections, a high speed back and forth, and a up hill S turn, then we would go on the same course the opposite way. It was a blast. Here are some great pictures shared from a bunch of different photographers...
This course was what we call a square tire maker if you were doing ebrake entries as long as Steve and Kohei...
Thanks Bob at Drift Office for putting on the event.
Well today we were setup at the track and got our tech inspection.
We met up with some of the Edmonton crew, and walked the track...
After walking the track, we left the track with the car ready for practice and qualifying, and headed for Mallibu
We arrived at our destination, the shrimp place in the Fast and the Furious,
Yummy
On the way back to Alex Phifer's we took Mulholland Hwy from the Pacific to the end of pavement. Wow.
...then almost home we saw this huge go cart facility from the freeway, we stopped by and they had a track made for drifting, for real. It was called slick track.
