Seen as we love drifting, we figured we’d start our two part Speedshow post with some drifting! \r\n The D1NZ drift demo was held on the concrete pad with huge crowds watching. \r\n Seeing a big pad and a huge grandstand, this photo reminds me a lot of Formula D in USA… \r\n \r\n There’s a reason…
Stag do’s are a common practice in NZ. But not everyone hosts theirs at a racetrack. Elton held his last weekend at Hampton Downs, just south of Auckland. The skid pan was lined up with many different cars, all ready to drift.\r\n\r\nI was told I could pop down to take some photos and figured why…
When in comes to drift track days, the Garage H team put on a pretty damn good day. With cars from all over the north island, you get to see a diverse range of cars. \r\n With this day being the first reverse drift day, I was really keen to see how the drivers would…
While Hori Dori was on, over at Hampton Downs DMNZ had a skid pan day going. I popped over for a bit to check them out. \r\n \r\n DMNZ is a Drift group based out of Tauranga and uses mostly Hampton Downs and Taupo as their play tracks. DMNZ’s aim is to get drivers of…
After going to sleep at 4am for the past few weeks, a change of sleeping hours was in order. The second Hori Dori Drift Day was on and I wanted to be there early. \r\n \r\n Hori Dori is a grassroots drift day based at the back of Meremere Dragstrip. Drivers come down the hill,…
New stickers arrived today. They’re a bit different from our usual.. \r\n \r\n They’re based around a carat diamond shape, with FW slanted in the middle.They’re a fairly bright pink, but pink’s awesome. \r\n Here’s the small (8cm x 7cm): \r\n \r\n And here’s the large (15cm x 13cm): \r\n \r\n They’re not available for order yet,…
I got a call from my buddy Cam Vernon asking me over to his to shoot his car. Cam’s nearly my neighbour, so I popped around to snap some pics! \r\n As a fan of the ‘whip, Cam’s a good mate also. His R32 is a car built for drifting. With 330kwatw @ 10psi, the car’s…
DMNZ is a practice drift day ran by Drew Donovan, based around getting drivers out onto the track and learning how to drift. The track days take place at many different circuits in NZ and are an awesome time for drivers of all levels. I was still pretty shot after getting back from Taupo, but I headed…
Here’s another tale of my dedication. On Sunday I woke up at 4am to meet up with our good buddy Cam. I headed over to his house to head down to Taupo for Pickets 21st at Taupo. I haven’t been to Taupo raceway in at least 15 years, so shooting there would be very new…
