A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… The "eh" team would win the first PGP Wars triple tandem competition with light speed entries and a few epic dirt drops. This story begins in Vancouver, British Columbia, where I have been living for the past month as a temporary Canadian. CJ Kofoed, also [...]
Hello Speedhunters and welcome to my Vegas Blog. Life is pretty busy at the moment with the Need for Speed D-Mac 86 taking up all my time back home. These FD events seem to come around pretty quickly. But, what better stress relief after 12 hours on a plane than sitting into a 800hp drift [...]
Anyone a little bummed that Old School Month is coming to an end? I know I am. Anyways, here's one more batch of your classic machines from all corners of the planet. (Above) Alberto Emilio Ko Quiroz Phillipines 1984 Mitsubishi Lancer SL Lee Adams Napier, New Zealand 1951 Ford Victoria Alex King Missoula, Montana [...]
It's that time again. With the success of the two past events it's only right that JDM Allstars pays its annual visit to London for round four of the championship … Wembley. Drifting under the gaze of the enormous (by UK standards) Wembley Stadium is the highlight of many drivers seasons, so it is always [...]

At the M.I.V.W event last month, I was invited by Oliver Verheij to attend the VW Fanatics show that he helped organize. The show was held on a field adjacent to a large lake, making it feel like the Dutch Wörthersee. It was a really nice event with a laidback feel thanks to the music [...]
Like a scene from a Bond Movie or a stunt that D*ck Dastardly might pull, this is a novel method of keeping another competitor behind. Last weekend's FIA GT1 World Championship round at Nurburgring saw a mid field duel between these modern day Wacky Racers. Enrique Bernoldi in the Vitaphone Maserati MC12 has just been [...]

With Wembley featuring a small yet brutal jump on the entry to turn four, I thought it would make a cool sequence post … James Deane crests the rise fully compressed with Luke Fink in hot pursuit … … a split second later he is fully airborne sideways … … into a 'Dukes of Hazzard' [...]
They might not be racing on the full 13-mile Green Hell of the Nordschliefe, but 23 GT1 cars still make a hell of a spectacle around the ‘mere’ three miles of the GP Strecke. Each time I’ve arrived at a GT1 event this year I’ve been more and more excited about the weekend, more in [...]
This insane FD RX7 is owned by Speedhunters reader Johnny Humphrey from Auckland, New Zealand. You see, Johnny is a buddy of Mad Mike's, and somehow was able to convince Mike to give up the Work Equips off the Madbul RX7. Once Johnny had the Equips in hand, he pretty much built the car around [...]

The SpeedHunters' tribe travels the length and breath of the planet in pursuit of our Holy Grail. This takes us to many locations, some that would be expected, some not. I would contend that the cellars of a medieval abbey would feature in the top ten list of unlikely venues for SpeedHunting, but earlier this [...]
We have just a couple days left for Old School Month, but there's still time to post up more of your classics from around the world. Here's another batch! (Above) Paul Harrison Calgary, Canada 1972 Toyota Corolla Chase Spaulding Black Mountain, NC USA 1976 Austin Mini 850 J. Kowalczyk Staten Island, NY USA 1971 Datsun [...]
Between Seattle and Vegas, I teamed up with V-LEDs to create a surprise new look with the RX8 for the EA Games crew. The red and blues are themed to coincide with “Hot Pursuit.” There was no better place to debut them than after sun set and long into the night at Las Vegas. The [...]
The G1 Grand Prix is one event that is bound to keep growing in the future and a great idea to hopefully inject a much-needed international component to the whole drift scene in Japan. With the top six finishers at Round 2 getting a D1 Street Legal license, it's something that will hopefully interest potential [...]
I'm just settling into my hotel room for the night, trying to absorb the events that took place today at Wembley. It was a result I could see happening for quite some time: the always aggresive Trela finally took his first JDM Allstars win. It may not be the prettiest car in the world, but [...]
