Mustache Style 2009
Willows, CA - ThunderDrift held its third full track drift event of 2009 today, this time with a mustache theme, and promoter Geoff Pitts was giving discounts to anyone with a mustache - real or fake. Drivers from as far away as the Portland area showed up, as well as all the usuals like Tomasz Olech, Luke Lonberger, and Calvin Wan, to make this one of the best ThunderDrift full track drifts to date.

ThunderDrift Round 6
Willows, CA - It was pretty rough travelling home from Las Vegas all day yesterday and then up to Thunderhill today for the final round of the comp series, but it was well worth it. I was able to get Geoff to secure the usage of the track's Gradall to lift me up and over the DriftPad for some unique camera angles.
The competition itself was small - only 9 drivers entered this time - but the skill level was good. Gabe Stone in his 3rd Gen Camaro even forced a one-more-time against 2nd-ranked Julian Jacobs in the top 4 but Jacobs ultimately snatched the win. Stone beat out Jared Thompson (in yet another borrowed car) for third place, and Jacobs lost the win to top-ranked Ryan Kado.
Kado won the series with 580 points overall, followed by Jacobs with 560, Thompson with 444, Stone with 405, and Scott Sherod with 319.

SEMA 2009
Las Vegas, NV - There's so much to see at SEMA every year that's it's hard to cover all of it. I spent most of my time hanging out with Conrad Grunewald's Hankook Camaro at the GM booth, but I did find some time to slip away and shoot some other cars around the show.
