I found this old animated jump sequence that Sir Brady Himself snapped back in March of ’07. Jumps make everything rad. Go ahead. Try it.
We already covered the all important jump shot and the requisite photo shop of it but we actually did the drifting. Motorsport Nationals gave us a huge lot to play in and the good people at ADVAN gave us the premium rubber to thrash on. The demo was a bit of a bust on Saturday due to the non stop rain. Knee deep puddles kept us in the paddock most of the day. Sunday dried up enough for the guys to put on a proper show before the rain rolled back in. Late in the day we were able to get in another demonstration but the track was still very slippery and greasy with puddles but we made the best of it tearing it up for the fans. The drivers all reported that the ADVAN tires held up extremely well and performed flawlessly under the entire range of surface conditions encountered during the weekend. We’d like to thank ADVAN, Motorsport Nationals, Gran Turismo East, and Southeast Drift for their support and all the drifting fans for coming out to the show.

Motorsport Nationals was wet. Very wet. Due to the immense downpour all weekend we were only able to do two ‘proper’ demos. We did do plenty of ‘track drying’ and rain-runs throughout the weekend. Hopefully we will be back next year to REALLY throw down… sans sky-fallen water, of course.
For Immediate Release.
Yokohama ADVAN Tires and Slide Style™ are proud to present the “DriftMechaniks Drift Demo” at the Motorsport Nationals on September 19-20th at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Performing 3 demos each day will be local Atlanta drivers: Andy Sapp, Erin Sanford, David Jones, and Daniel Willie. “We are very excited to be working with ADVAN and Motorsport Nationals”, said Andy Sapp, founder of the DriftMechaniks. “It will be great to bring drifting back to Atlanta Motor Speedway.”DriftMechaniks was started in 2004, and over the past 6 years has grown to include numerous pro-level drifters with years of Formula Drift and D1 Gran Prix experience. Performing demos since 2006, this drift team will stop at nothing to put on a great show.

Some of the Drift Mechaniks made the trek to VIR for US Drift’s “Civil War” event July 25th. I came along to shoot some film and hang out since I wasn’t able to trailer my car up to participate. These are just a few. See the rest here.
