you make lemonade

massachusetts got the first snowfall not too long ago.

it was kind of disheartening to walk out to this.




then this happened:

DriftFaction Jesse was on his way to school in the datsun pickup just as I was pulling off the highway, and he ended up right behind me.  He was johnny-on-the-spot with the cell phone and captured this little number:

DriftFaction Derek


can't help wanting to drift every time i see a snow flurry.

reminds me of the end of 'driftworks 3' when the black fc, big tourer, and orido in the impreza coupe are sliding around that kart course, and ancient bihoku videos in the dead of winter with the course plowed and snow still falling.
wish our tracks were that cool.


that's it for '09. it went by too fast.

all this can be yours

browsing random japanese car exporter sites here at work.

went through a hundred beat s-chassis, then i came across
HARAGUCHI'S AWESOME 180 as one of the cars for sale.



peep the door speaker






probably sold to dubai or south africa
or maybe the galaxy haraguchi came from.

my young boys wildin' for respect


word was that hartford street races were gonna have a big turnout one last time for 2009

most of the serious DriftFaction cars are blown up, in pieces, or both at this point of the year, so DriftFaction Kyle led the young'ns down to catch some action


the night's roster was:

DriftFaction Kyle:   boro hatch / sexystyle / CST
DriftFaction Steve: beat kouki / origin / battle
DriftFaction Ryan:   black coupe / rust / XXR


mandatory gas station shots




cannot wait for paint on this thing



the kids ran a few cars, but before long
they were back to their old ways:

wide three-car donut starring Kyle, Steve, and Ryan





then point-and-shoot + flash + bad shot-framing
led to a handful of pictures looking way 90's



this kid approved


first time in a while people were able to run all night.
no cops, no stabbings, no crashes, no tow trucks


left plenty of spare time to hit some corners, like so:
