CUTTING ROOM FLOOR>> THE THINGS YOU DIDN’T SEE

Here at Speedhunters, we're constantly on the move, hunting down the next car to feature or on the road to another event. And while we're always focused on what stories we'll be serving up tomorrow, sometimes it's good to stop, take a breath, and look back at what's transpired. Wherever we go, our cameras and laptops [...]

CAR FEATURE>> NAKAMA DRIFT LEXUS GS300

The way I see it, the drift scene is split up into two camps. One camp supports all things grassroots and only desires to keep it that way. The other is a progressive moment which tries to push the drift scene into the future from its humble beginnings. In other words, we're talking about the [...]

PHOTOGRAPHER BLOG>> ANDREW LINK

Hi, I’m Andrew Link and I’m an Automotive Photographer. I never thought I’d get to use that sentence, but now with almost four years as a working professional and another two bouncing around doing freelance work, I guess its finally appropriate. After working a couple of years at a local custom shop helping customize cars [...]

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> DANDY MASERATI 3200GT

As you all know I'm currently following the build of the Dandy R34 GT-R that will hit the salt flats at Bonneville next year. It always surprises me the variety of cars that drop by Tanaka-san's shop for a quick tune. In Japan he is regarded as one of the best ECU mappers out there [...]

CAR SPOTLIGHT>> KOENIGSEGG CC8S

The Supercar Corral at the FIA GT round in Portugal wasn't exactly overflowing. On the Friday, but one car sat there. Up by the fence. A utility van parked incongruously next to it. Where were the others? But the single car was a Koenigsegg CC8S. Having the gall to park a Porsche or Ferrari next [...]

EVENT>>THE 2011 CRUISIN’ NATIONALS PT.2

The West Coast's best Hot Rods and customs, lots of sunshine, and a long holiday weekend. A fine combination for sure. Here's the second part of my 2011 Cruisin' Nationals coverage from Santa Maria. Not a better car to start out with than this yellow '50 Merc. Think of the term "custom" and this is [...]

RANDOM SNAP>> KAKIMOTO RACING R33 GT-R

During my visit to Japan, one of the major shops I popped into was Kakimoto Racing. Although I wasn't permitted to take photos of most of their facility, I did manage to grab this shot of their R33 GT-R in their dyno room.  -Casey Dhnaram. Kakimoto Racing K-Tours 2011

THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOU DIE>> EXPERIENCE PIKES PEAK

It's the end of June, it's freezing cold, you're short of breath and you're standing on a mountain. It's pitch dark all around. The only thing is a twisting caterpillar of distant headlights. As you stand there shivering in the darkness, you remember that it is 4 in the morning and you just got up [...]

CAR FEATURE>> BOZZ SPEED EVO 6

The fascination with time attack is something that has really captivated Japanese tuners over the years. The urge to push modified road cars to their limits for that all-important lap time is something that has helped create some of the most impressive vehicles we have ever seen. But to me it's the end user that [...]

CAR FEATURE>> KUNIAKI KONISHI’S BRIDE TRUENO

For the past decade, I’ve been an avid follower of Japanese media, in particular coverage of their drifting scene. Over the years there were many cars that stood out, and one of those was the three Bride AE86s. I couldn’t tell you if the other two still exist, but I came across one of them at [...]

EVENT>>THE 2011 CRUISIN’ NATIONALS PT.1

When it comes to the hot rod and custom community, there are few events more important than the West Coast Kustoms Crusin' Nationals. Held every May in the town of Santa Maria, the Cruisin' Nationals draw some of California's best rods and customs for three days of showing, cruising, and all around good times. It's [...]
