On a nice summer afternoon, we went with a few drifters to a local drifting event located in Sonoma Raceway. Here are some dope pics of drivers hitting it sideways.
Meeting up with Julian and Marc getting stuff prepared such as tools, and of course tires
This Z31 belongs to Marc and Julian's co-worker. It is obviously not an ordinary Z31 but not just because it's drift prepped but under the hood is a VH45, which is a v8 motor from an Infiniti q45
However due to mechanical issues, the car barely had a chance to run
Might be common to others but it's still pretty rare to see this type of car drift.
I'm pretty sure this is everyone's favorite picture, due to the amounts of smoke.
Speaking of smoke, things do get smokey especially at a drift event
As you can tell by the damage, this s13 is a missile, with that being said the driver has been going ham since he/she has owned it
Of course without tandem, a drift session is no fun at all
Marc was putting his Miata to the real test. Considering it is his first time at a local event, he did extremely well after a few couple runs. Btw do you guys think his hood is open??
This Mustang looks fun to drive aswell
Its pretty cool to see a classic like the AE86 still around in the drifting world, this specific one has an F series motor from a Honda S2000 and is also turbocharged
Another classic, the SA22 RX-7, probably the coolest car I have seen during the afternoon.
Lets not forget that this FC3S is also a classic. Doesn't this one look like Ryosuke's from Initial D??
Some sponsored cars have also taken part of this event just to have fun and show the people how it's done
A burnout competition during the last few runs to end the night
What did I say about things getting smokey during drift races??
Well that about sums it up about August 7th. It was fun watching friends drift not to mention other drivers as well. There was another race on the 9-10th but unfortunately we couldn't make it. However Sonoma Drift is an open event, $40 to drive and $10-15 to spectate, so if you want to enter to hone your drifting skills, or watch how these playa's get down, it is a pretty fun event.
