Finally, someone gets back to making a fun video of horsepower and screwing around. The dialog is shit, and the music sucks, but the nepo baby didn't get rich or famous for writing or music.

Terrible Herbst was a gas station owner in the 1940s, founded a gas station/convivence store/casino in 1959, and his son is now the CEO of the company/race team. 

Maybe this kid is acting, or maybe, he was given shit dialog and told to just shut up and drive, or maybe he's really this effing annoying. Whatever, it's not like I'm ever going to run into him or give a shit about how he comes across to actress/models on his you tube video career. 

But you'd think a manager, a friend, or even Gittin, would have pointed out how unlikeable his character comes across. If you can't like him, you can't root for him, you can't be a fan. Drivers, races, and series only exist to create a fan base so the sponsors can sell product.

imagine being told "yes we want you to drift in downtown LA for a video" one night, blocked off streets, professional production of lighting and cameras? (first video, behind the scenes, 2nd, the official video/commercial for Vans and FTP)

skip the 1st 8 minutes 50 seconds

About 20 years ago I was asked to loan my car to a couple low cost, shoe string productions, the kind of amateur videos where you just do it to hang out with people making a cool thing, for fun, in exchange for a copy of the video (that's my one demand)  

Late night, quiet neighborhoods, no permit to record a movie, or whatever ... I have only a memory or two, one video filled my tank with gas - and a 20 gallon tank ain't cheap, but that does get you to and from most places in So Cal to most other places, and back, without you having to out of pocket so someone else can shoot a video with your car, or use your car as period correct back ground. 

No, I never did get a copy of either video... as soon as that was brought up post production, the contacts talked shit about not wanting anyone to leak a copy early, or post on you tube, and blah blah blah copyrights. Right. But, you agreed to it, and I did my part, you mook

So, anyway, it's a fun little thing to do for the memories, and the interesting people you meet, that sort of thing, but, don't count on getting much else out of broke wanna be film makers. And don't give anyone your keys.... it's your car, you drive it if it needs to move, that way no idiot gets behind the wheel. 

Sung Kang has just confirmed he’s making a live-action drift movie called Drifter with a handful of other well-known car-world personalities.

filming a huge part of it live, in front of a crowd, at Legends Of Drift, a real drift competition and car show Aug 23–24 at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.

Robin Alsaker's 1934 drifting Hudson, from Norway

the best video of it drifting is on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/reel/1040383724448767

fully-caged drift-spec '69 Satellite made from what was a lot of rust around a 318/904/8.25 combo that was tossed into the junkyard and replaced with an LS9, Tremec T56, and BMW E36 front end

skip to 6:94 for better drift video 

Hopefully it comes to SEMA

Pastrana and the Family Huckster put on a good show, and the Ford Supervan was mighty quick, but I enjoyed watching Ryan Tuerck drift his Toyota truck up the hill, the most

and for a different view of this run,

see the previous video at 7:51

see the next video of the Petty Superbird and Beast of Turin post and forward to 9:01 for another set of cameras recording this run

when you're carrying parts off the track, it's probable that you used a k rail to peel it off your car while practicing and perfecting your drifting

that's a lot of tie wrap stitches!

smooth, and impressive

 

youtube has many versions, and they all look like this, boxed in. Not a single original version of this

Ukrainian officials denied Red Bull permission to drift in front of the Saint Sophia Cathedral, but Red Bull drivers ignored the ruling and drifted in the UNESCO World Heritage Site's Sofievskaya Square - and had their cars confiscated

championship drifters Conor Shanahan and Aleksandr Grinchuk drifted in tandem around the square typically reserved for pedestrian traffic,

 

The chairperson for Ukraine's Tourism Development says Red Bull insists that it did, in fact, have permission to film at the location. She noted that the situation was odd, especially since another comment shows that Ukrainian police were watching the event take place and that an investigation into whether or not the energy drink company had permission was still ongoing.

a perfect drift into a curve, with very little room to spare

a one handed power drift? That's a nice show of control

Not many drifting semis are used to make fun videos for entertainment

When people stopped getting track time when it rained, and the event was looking like a doomed flop, the event organizer decided to change the rules, and force a wet lap. Now racers have to practice wet laps to win the points and championship

During a Gridlife track day at the Ohio course, one of three such events held across the Midwest each year, the weather didn’t cooperate; a downpour made some of the more serious, record-seeking drivers hesitant to hit the tarmac.

The solution? Invent a wet lap record. “We’re in a unique position where we can make adjustments like that because we’re right on the edge of ‘pro’ and ‘fun.’ If we became a completely pro event, the ability to do an audible like that decreases; it becomes something people get upset about. The wet lap times—they’re still not official in any capacity, but we are tracking them—was more about ‘let’s see what we can all do in the wet! Let’s make lemonade!’”

amazing high speed close proximity drift stunt that is quite impressive

after not wrecking, when it was this close, you ought to go buy a lotto ticket and see how far your luck will hold

http://knuckledraggin.com/2019/05/wednesday-gifdump-9/

Kick back, enjoy the show, grab a donut and some coffee

This is an amazing show... and we get to watch it for free! That's pretty damn amazing too! 

if you're going to park, do it with style

drift around the McDonalds island in the center of the above picture, and park in the only available spot left

I couldn't find this on You tube to embed it. Instagram videos are like that

exactly how close must you stand next to drift cars on the track, to do a news report? No matter what, they're still going to be in the background
