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.

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.

sup ya’ll, my name is Byron Hill. I met the dM guys back when theyre wasn’t an Atlanta drift “scene” and have been hanging out ever since. I drive in most of the southeast region events and do event flyers and other odds and ends for Southeast Drift.

I have zero music skills.
I drive a na ka s14. I like to think its fast. most would disagree. I paid too much for it in ’04. I keep adding stuff and it keeps falling off. I need paint, power, and wheels. and a cage. man for wasting all my money it sure does still need a lot.

dM is Atlanta drifting.
