way back when

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.

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:

CRASH! girlfriend in the car

those bumps he hit that straightened him out were so bad,

that we were all getting air over them.

not to mention they're right on the entry going 50 straight at 6 tons of concrete wall.
