Hey all, it’s Darrick. I was doing a little browsing around Vimeo the other day since I haven’t been on there in awhile and I found this! There’s not really anything to say about it other than what the video artist says about it, take a look.
“Shot entirely with the new GoPro HD cameras, this is a highlight reel of the 2009 Formula Drift season finale at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California. Following Team Falken Tire’s drivers Tyler Mcquarrie, Daijiro Yoshihara and Darren McNamara and featuring music from Justice and John Murphy. This video explores what it’s like from the drivers point of view and even a bugs perspective on the side of the car at 90mph, inches away from the wall.” – Patrick Barrett

Formula D Irwandale 2009 Rd 7 “Judgement Day” from Abbitt Wilkerson on Vimeo.
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!

“The House of Drift” well that’s what they call the Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, and this is where the final round of the Formula Drift season took place this last weekend. The event definitely lived up to its name and made an amazing finale. 
The top 32 elimination round kicked off with some surprising results. The first driver to be eliminated was Rhys Millen in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe, who was beaten by Tyler McQuarrie in the Falken 350z. Tyler would finish up the night in 2nd place being outdone by Ryan Tuerck. Tanner Foust with the Rockstar Energy Drink Scion Tc took 3rd.
Although Ryan Tuerck took first place at this event the true victor was Chris Forsberg. After qualifying for the top 32 Forsberg only needed to eliminate one opponent to earn enough points to win the 2009 Formula Drift season. Chris accomplished this very early on after knocking out Doug VanDerBrink. When the judges made their announcement Chris was met at the starting grid by teammates and friends and hoisted in to the air.
At the victory ceremony that evening Chris not only took first place for the season, but became the first for a couple of other things. He also won the Tires.com Triple Crown bonus, and was announced as the first non-traditional race car driver to win the Formula Drift Championship.

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.

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 filmFor 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?

Speed Festival came around once again and this year Drift Circuit came with it. Drift Circuit has been attending these events for the past couple years and this year I was lucky enough to have Media Access. Today was Media day and while all the other Media were there for everything else, I was the only one there solely for the drifters.Throughout their runs today there were only a few casualties: Cody Parkhouse’s 240SX caught on fire during one of the morning runs putting him out for the rest of the weekend. At the end of the day, Luke’s car suffered a blown tire putting him out for the rest of the day. Other injuries were oil leaks and running out of fuel.
