WEKFEST HAWAII: CAR CULTURE SHENANIGANS

WEKFEST HAWAII: CAR CULTURE SHENANIGANS

On my recent trip to Hawaii I got a SPAM overdose, and I also got married. The officiant for the wedding was a good friend of mine, Jarod DeAnda, who you may know as the voice of Formula Drift. It just so happens that Wekfest was also in town, so before we came home to [...]

REVISITING FORMULA D INDONESIA

The Indonesian round of the Formula D Asia series already seems like a distant memory, despite it being only last month. But with the constant new things we cover here at Speedhunters it’s often nice to step back, hit play and relive past events we have attended. That is exactly what I just did this morning, after coming across this awesome video from Ryan Davis at Yaer Productions. Make sure you hit play and check it out!

A DAY IN THE LIFE>> JAROD DEANDA – PADDOCK SHENANIGANS

On this rare occasion, Jarod DeAnda, the voice of Formula Drift is at an event but he is not announcing. Instead he gets to enjoy and absorb as much Norwegian car culture as he can take. I follow him for a day and watch him interact with the Vikings of Gatebil. Jarod: You think you know [...]

RANDOM SNAP>>WWJTPD?

When DMCC driver Dave Briggs got his "What would JTP do?" sticker, he didn't slap it on the outside of his car, but on the inside of his windshield, just a few inches away from his face. How's that for motivation? Spotted on Jarod DeAnda's blog. -Mike Garrett

RANDOM SNAP>>JAROD’S WAGON

The other day we got an email from our buddy Jarod DeAnda (the voice of Formula Drift and other automotive events across the USA). After we posted a photo of Bon Bon's E36 Wagon last week, Jarod wanted to raise his own BMW wagon. It's a '99 540iT with KW suspension, 20" J-Line wheels, and [...]
