Stopped by the local Barnes & Nobles to pick up a few magazines yesterday on my way to the gym. Making the normal rounds for SuperStreet, DSport, etc…The normal import sport compact stuff, ya know.
Well, as I rested the magazines down on the shelf so that I could check out some Maxim babes, I found myself looking at the back covers to both magazines that I had just placed down, and boom coincidentally, there they were in 2 recent tire sponsor ads, The Gardella Racing Camaro on the back of DSport Magazine for Nitto Tires, and Christian Rado on the back of SuperStreet for Continental Tires.
For those of you who may not have a facebook account, or some of you who may not follow these guys through social media then you wouldn’t be aware of the grudge that these two drivers have against each other regarding who holds the title of World’s Fastest Front Wheel Drive Drag Car, which stems back to the early days of Nopi / NHRA Drag Racing. The grudge is more friendly then it is hostile, and since the demise of Profession Front Wheel Drive Drag Racing, it has proven to be a positive source of media for the people who are trying to revive the sport. I must admit it was refreshing to see both drivers & team owners still remain relevant in the industry, finding a way to evolve through-out the years even inside of different aspects of motorsports. Gary having pursued Formula Drift, and Christian having pursued Time Attack, both becoming very successful after the switch from Drag Racing.

Professional drifter Ryan Tuerck and his Drift Alliance crew put on a great show at Englishtown Raceway Park last weekend. Luckily Jeremy White was on hand to capture all the antics while the crew along with their missile cars took over the road course into the evening hours. I’m really feeling the song that Jeremy chose to add to the montage! Nice work, hats off to Jeremy White for making the most out of this edit!
Matt Petty and the Club Loose guys always put on a spectacular event, showcasing some of the best amatuer drifting in the US, hands down!
East Coast Bash is always an awesome way to spend a summer afternoon if you are a drifting fan from the Northeast! Grassroots drifting at its finest, this event was undoubtedly one of the most incredible events that I attended last summer! Matt Petty is the driving force behind Clubloose and always produces a stellar show! Some really big names in the drifting industry showed up last year, and were more then happy to take the time to talk to fans! This is an awesome chance to learn more about drifting and get to know some of the BIG dogs on the scene! I highly recomend…

Shanty town vehicles are encouraged.
Registration to drive is now open. It will close the Wednesday before the event.
Send registration to clubloose@gmail.com.
$260 to drive both days. $156 to drive one. If you’re driving one, make sure to specify which day.
