You know how you know that you have thrown a great drifting event?? Its not the amount on tickets you sell, its not the amount of people that come or even the the amount of drivers that show up, its when Darth Vader takes the time out to busy schedule of hunting down the Rebel Alliance and comes and watches some insane drifting action.
That’s right. Darth Vader along with some storm troopers attended the MSC Drift at Obaiba event. I think that I smell a real story here. I think that Vader is going to start drifting… Think about it, when he was younger he was an excellent podracer, he took first place on the Tatooine circuit and won his freedom at the age of like 10. Compared to podracing, drifting should be easy. Plus he can use the force. He can forget the e-brake, and just use the force to make the car go sideways And if he loses he’ll just choke out the person that beat him or blow up the planet with the Death Star. The real question is going to be what series is he going to run? Will he stay in Japan and rock the MSC or D1 Series? or will he jump over the pond and take Tanner off of the FD throne and be the next FD Champion. I’ll keep my ear to the street. When Vader starts drifting, Wrecked Magazine will be the first to let you know.
For now, you’ll have to settle with the spy shots of Vader taking in the MSC drifting action over in our MSC gallery.
Its really had for one describe what actually goes on during SEMA. Its wears people down, drives them mad and it also drives them to sleep in random locations on the show floor.
and for some reason when people are sleeping on the floor, people like to sit on them.
Some times you just have to crash on the floor. Even though there are chairs to sit in:
Other people, like Will SEMA has a different effect on:
and then some people just lose their minds:
Well, thats about it for my SEMA coverage. I’m now back in the ATL and back in the grind. It was fun.. It was crazy, it made me go crazy…
To every one that was there, its was crazy and wild as usual. Theory team, fun workin with you as always. James glad you finally made it and you rocked it hardcore. (I’m assuming you finally made it back to Atlanta. Stupid Airlines). Kelly thanks for putting up with us and rockin some sweet interviews. Jayke you killed it.. Will awesome hangin with you at the hostel. Another crazy SEMA done.
This SEMA the crew kept quite busy. We had several tasks that we had accomplish. Most of these involved filming the show for one reason or another.
Waiting for the Naughty NOS Girls to finish their autograph session so we could film their interview for NOS TV.
We also filmed with with some of the formula D Drivers including Sam Hubinette who was unveiling his new 2008 Drift ride: :
Vaughn also put down a solid interview as well.
An interview with Chris Forsberg for NOS TV:
Unless you were at SEMA you would not believe that crazy things that happen there while you are trying to get work done. While we were filming an interview for NOS TV with Norris, some random man thought that it would be a great idea to take a picure with Kelly. Never mind that Norris is talking to the camera giving the interview, the man asks him to to take a picture of him with Kelly. I have only one way to describe this “Amazing”:
Any way you should check out the Wrecked Magazine SEMA video coverage as well as the videos for NOS TV. We will have more NOS TV interviews up in the next couple of days.
