Welcome to 2008 and enjoy the New Year! If your going to drink tonight make sure you grab a designated driver.  Slide America has HUGE plans for 2008 so please keep your eye out. We are hitting hard starting February 5th and we won’t be turning back, trust to see us all around the Drifting world in 2008! Thanks everyone for the support.

So that was some tacky CSI Season 3 line I heard last night before I made this blog that I wanted to throw out their. We rolled into Miami Beach on Friday and got ready for the Hot Import Nights Miami show. NOS Energy Drink threw a huge bash featuring 2 famous designers who had fashion shows and they crowned the Naughty NOS Girl for 2007. Make sure to stay tuned, the store release of Slide America is set to hit stores February 5th, 2008!

This was our view from Miami Beach out into the Atlantic.

Jenny Chu has fans down in Miami clearly.

Here is the stage for the NOS Fashion show.

This girl had her boyfriend stop their Volvo on 8th/Washington and stuck her head out the sunroof to take pictures in the middle of traffic at an intersection……amazing!

The Lexus IS350 before it got stickered.

Check this out guys, it was filmed at Formula D Seattle and we got a chance to meet up with these guys from EA Sports. I think that Need For Speed: Pro Street will be an excellent title and reflect the drift culture very well. Look at Vaughn smash his car in the last turn wall, I love it!

TUNE-IN TO “TunerVision” Thursday at 10pm - Bill Sherman vs Blake Fuller - Who’s Best?

Orlando, Florida – Sept. 27 – Fans of drifting regularly watch Nopi Tunervision to see the latest round of drift competition from across the nation. This week’s episode will focus on what happens away from the competition, and Enjuku Racing will be one of the teams featured in this special broadcast. The special will air this Thursday, September 27^th, at 10:00pm eastern on the SPEED channel.

Just a few short weeks ago, Team Enjuku learned of the cancellation of the Nopi Drift event to be held in Chicago. Cancellation of the event left the team disappointed and added to the pressure of the final event in Atlanta. Driver Bill Sherman and Team Enjuku were victorious at the event and won the Championship. However, prior to the event and celebration, the Nopi Tunervision production company came to central Florida to visit with some of the teams and drivers. The production included some behind-the-scenes activities of the shop and showed Bill preparing his car for the final event. Tunervision host, Charity Hodges, had a chance to visit the Enjuku race shop and talk with the team. Ms. Hodges also had the chance to ride along in a drift car with Nopi Champion Bill Sherman at Desoto Speedway near Bradenton.

The TV production company also visited a local go-kart track in Orlando, where they would have Charity Hodges “teach” Bill some new drifting techniques. Multiple cameras were used to make for a great race sequence which will be quite entertaining for the broadcast. Having the TV crew come to the shop was a welcome distraction for the team and is a great opportunity for the fans to get to know the drivers off the track. The added TV exposure helps teams and drivers gain sponsorship for the upcoming year, which ensures the growth of the sport.

Yes it’s been six years since tragic struck the United States and the World Trade Center came crashing down but we still remember the lives lost, families broken, and the nation that came together. Take a moment of silence today and remember where you were during this fateful time and all the things you are thankful for and how we are all proud to be Americans.

9/11, Never Forget.
