Streetwise Drift ProAM #1

Charlotte Motor Speedway. I was anticipating this event for weeks and praying like hell for good weather. And for the most part, I got what I was hoping for. I did get a soaked from one of the few random rain showers we encountered over the course of the day. But, I am pretty pleased with the shots from the day. Props to all the ProAM and Amateur competition drivers, you guys were all awesome.

2009 Event Highlights

I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who has given me their support in 2009. I really couldn't do this without all of you. I'd like to share some of my favorite highlights from the 2009 season. I took a lot of pictures this year. :-)

It was very hard to pick these out from the bunch.

Streetwise Drift: Season Opener @ Metrolina Expo

What a great way to begin the 2010 Drifting season. I really enjoyed that this event was practice only.

One of our sponsored drivers, Hayden Horton also debuted his new 2010 sponorship by Autosport Dynamics. For those of you not familiar with Autosport Dynamics, they're the fine folks behind some of your favorite Team Falken cars. We're excited to see where Hayden's driving will take him this season!
