Abbitt Wilkerson, Yoshi Shindo, and Matt Galantoumini hit Irwindale CA for Formula Drift’s final round, Judgement Day. Althought I wasn’t able to make it, good friends from the northwest hit i5 and rocked L.A. Wilkerson cut together a short, in my opinion one of his best cuts. The season is already over for most, a few will be at ProAm Nationals. Get ready for the rainy season, it’s time for another year of the northwests finest builds. Watch out for 2010!
This morning Speedhunters.com released the official trailer for Drift Documentary: We Are Drift. Over the summer I’ve been chatting with the director, Luke Huxham. Drift Documentary is nothing but extraordinary, with a primary focus around the community and the individuals that bring it together.
Our filming project is always on the hunt for potential sponsors / endorsements to help our documentary grow even larger then it will be, if your interested or know anyone who would be drop us a line.
===================================
If you have already watched previous sneak peak videos on our web site then you know the style of our videos are a little different to your normal mix tape of action and crash scenes pasted together.
We put you in the grand stand to watch the action as it unfolds. Drifting is more then just cars its about the people in the sport, the spectators aswell as the drivers.
The full films contents will include :
- Drifting from a spectators point of view
- Special feature interviews with drivers
- Interviews with the community
- Touge mountain drifting with the locals
- Amazing action from local and D1SL grass roots events from around Japan
- Everything the community has asked for but has yet to see in any other film
For more information and videos head to our website.
Big thanks go out to, Thomas Moore, Al Clark, Josephine Yun and Don Cerny. These are some important people that without their help this documentary will not be possible
In the last month or so I’ve lost contact with a few good individuals here in the northwest. Last week I featured Abbitt Wilkerson’s Round 3 video, and now I just found Justin’s Round 4. I have to give him props for making his way up from Oregon to shoot this video.
Justin Shreeve Films presents Evergreen Drift Round 4. The final round saw a lot of upsets as some drivers weren’t able to attend and others were plagued with car troubles. Overall, it was an exciting day, making for lots of good footage.

Everytime I see video of our local drivers in Pacific Northwest, I keep thinking why don’t we have these guys performing at a professional level? Our talent pool is a hidden pocket tucked away in the woods here in the northwest. Maybe it has to do with how many events we have, or our awesome back roads?
Monroe, WA – Formula Drift Round 5 “The Breaking Point” brought thousands of spectators. The Pro’s danced flawlessly across Evergreen Speedway’s 5/8ths “big boy’s” bank. During Formula Drift weekend, our locals stuck it out during ProAm. Many media folk raised their camera’s when they saw the amateur drivers hyping up Evergreen’s grand stands. Thousands cheered our locals on, and two videographers were their to capture the moment.
