ECB Video by Cquens Productions

August 19th, 2008

So slavik is new to video game .. this is his rookie season as a film maker. He covers most of the Clubloose Events but the work he did for ECB(east coast bash) is again fucking amazing. Can someone hire this kid for work.. He paints houses i think.. obviously his talents are being wasted. Just tell him i helped get him the job so he will still come back and film E-town drifting once in a while.

So with less blah blah blah .. here is the video.


All Star Bash EAST!

Clubloose East Coast BASHATHON5000!

August 19th, 2008

So August 16th was the day… if you missed it.. that was your problem.

People traveled from way too far converging on the driftastic road coarse nestled in the hills of Englistown Raceway Park.

I don’t think i ever had this much fun at a drift event before in my life. All that fun and i didn’t even drive.

Here are some internet Quotes i found on the event.

“My favorite part was probably the last half hour. Everyone went all-out. I was glued to the fence, with my ears ringing, dirt in my teeth and eyes, hacking on exhaust fumes and tire smoke. I kept hearing people say, “This is better then Formula D!”"

“This was by far the most fun event ive ever done! i blew my motor at the end of the day, but it was worth it haha”

“You know youve driven alot when you wake up with your entire body aching… I cant find one little complaint about the event other than the day went by too fast”

So you get the point. I am so happy to be involved in this event. I really want to thank the drivers who made the trek, the spectators for supporting grass roots drifting, Englishtown for letting this happen. Wrecked and all the other media outlets for covering the event, and beer troll for making the hike up from Florida. Here is my favorite photo i have found. The photo is kinda blurry and it kind of sums up the day. A blur of awesome!

Clubloose Does ….the E-town road course.

July 8th, 2008

So this weekend I’m gearing up for a ripping time at the E-town road course. Running events here at E-town for the past 6 years we have dreamed of using this road course more often. This is the first local event for the local drivers here at this AMAZING facility. We have run it tons of times before but this is the first real deal event for the normal Joe. So anyway we are gonna get this event underway sometime around ten-ish Saturday Morning.. It would mean a lot to me if you came out and supported grassroots drifting here at “The Gauntlet” (thats what Formula D called it..Yeah i don’t get it either). I have a sweet flyer we made in like 5 minutes. Post it around and tell people to come like your mom and dad.. If they are divorced this might be a good time to try and get them back together (i know you are still hoping it will happen).

Like i said spread the word. This event will feature the best drivers from Clubloose and we will have fun stuff to do besides drifting.. (its a secret come and find out.)

Hope to see you there…

XOXO

I Had about 40 posts made..AKA Wordpress = Worst Blog software EVER!

July 8th, 2008

I made all these sweet posts about Nopi as well as some other drifting shit and so on. However, Wordpress never works for me. It wont let me upload photos, it doesn’t auto save, it errors and logs me out for no good reason. I want to turn wordpress into a dude and kick his ass. During this time o internet turmoil i ask that you hang in there. Be that supportive buddy i never had. Offer me words of advice and ego builders to keep me fromlosing my mind. Most importantly Cut and paste the links i give you. Cause, yeah that shit is broken too.

But anyway, Tony and I made an E-Blood oath to post more often, so here i am. I got a few to unload tonight and then i will keep you updated about things drifting and more importantly things not drifting. Dogs, guns, minivans and Diet Dr Pepper immediately come to mind. Well in keeping with my new found blog driven lifestyle here is pics of my dog Tate.. He also sucks at the internet.

DA DVD party was awesome… and you missed it!

July 8th, 2008

We all converged on “Ye Olde” Dock Street Brewing company in scenic West Philly. PA has never seen a night as good as this one. The gentle breeze kept the smell of old urine from stinging your nostrils.

I got there early and hung with Andy ,the topics’s and a few others waiting for shit to get rolling. Sooner or later the crowd rolled in and the party got underway. Beers flowed like water and everyone got tipsy as we waited for the sun to go down so we could actually see the film playing on the wall. After we watched the film we had a 5 man 3 girl big American dance party. It was awesome..
Just want to tell Andy how good the film is and if you haven’t bought it yet you are retarded and need to be hurt with a spoon and a butane torch.

Drift Alliance Bio Page FINALLY Up!

June 11th, 2008

Sometimes things take longer than others. Its fact I don’t make up the rules, I just live by them.

Topics SR. and I have been trying to get the bio pages for the DA site done for about 2 years now. Thankfully there are girls. Lets face it folks, Girls can always get what they want. I don’t know if its their attitudes, the fact that they smell nice or if its just boobs. But if a girl wants something bad enough they use their feminine wiles and they produce results. So let me take this time to thank Abbey, JR’s old lady for getting serious on the DA bio page and getting everyone to answer the ?’s and then assembling the page. So do me a favor check it out and learn something about us DA guys. Its been a long time coming. THANKS ABBEY!

Also buy the DVD fag!

I lovvvve old cars.

May 21st, 2008

So I work at R/T Tuning in Lansdale PA. Mostly we get boring cars on the dyno. Well, boring to me. Supra’s, Porsche’s, and RX-7’s are all fine and good for some car lovers, but i want to see sweet shit.

Thankfully my prayers were answered in the form of this radical 71 Datsun 510 Road race car. Owned by a totally awesome ripper named Johnny Porco. He rented the dyno for a half day to fuck with some jets on his Webers. I had a boner the entire time the car was here. This thing was totally loud, smelly and low. It spent most of its time shootin flames and looking radical doing it.

Here are some rad pics of Johnny Porco Killing it on the dyno.
