NOPI Drift, Show and EVO pics

I got to do a ride along in the chameleon Signal Auto Nissan Skyline R34 time attack car for a drift session at NOPI.

It was absolutely INSANE! I also got some killer coverage of the D1 RSR team putting on a show along with a few of the Formula D guys

Here is all the NOPI coverage with the drift pics mixed in. (there were a ton of "so bad it's funny" cars there that I took pictures of for your pleasure :-)

LOL!! No that Z was real... REAL BAD!

The funny part was me and the editor for the magazine I was shooting for were both like OMG that is too funny. We were taking photos of it as a joke for a "Best of the worst" section since a good number of the cars at nopi this year were so bad they were funny. Ther eis a pic of the guy that made the car acting all proud of his work... And there is another one of the guy with all his friends. It was SSOOOOOOOOO hard ot keep a straight face while taking the pics.


As for my ride along... It actually happened by fluke. I was walking by the BFG booth inside the speedway and one of their guys saw my press pass and asked me who I was shooting for.

Then he told me that they had ride alongs scheduled for every drift session and they were booked solid two weeks in advance.

Apparently the Import Tuner guys had to leave early so they invited me to fill their spot.

PURE LUCK! BUT SOO AWESOME!
