Angry Al took us around Norcal and we wound up in the mountains somewhere. The guys just killed it at both spots we hit up showing that Northern California is on the map. It’s not quite as strong as Los Angeles but Norcal can hold it’s own definitely. Thanks again to everyone who came out and tore it up. You won’t believe how our night ended, I will give you a big hint………CRUNCH!

Los Angeles was a blast. Had a great time with Antonio eating some Thai food (Next time I will get the EGG!) We got a preview of the first run of the Drifting Book by Antonio Alvendia. Looks killer! Kenta from Toyko Drive also gave us an awesome interview about the Japanese side of Drifting. We had a great time street drifting and the only real picture I need to post is this……..Thanks for the living room in Hollywood as well Jacob Leveton and Kay from myspace.com. Street drifting in City of Industry didn’t last so long.

We were basically so close to Mexico you could smell it. As we rolled into San Diego at who knows what time and we almost woke up and made it to Speed Alliance on time. White Warren G is the man by the way who let us crash at his place on our second night in town. Speed Alliance was a great host and we had a fun time kicking it with Team Hinga and others. Thanks everyone for rolling out.

We rolled into Vivid Racing to hear what Ryan Hampton had to say about the drifting scene. We also paid a visit to Jarod DeAnda’s “The Voice of Formula D,” who brought us a ton of insight into the sport. He also has to win the sickest house award of anyone on the Slide America tour. Thanks to Vivid Racing for letting us swing by and Drift Alliance’s Ryan Hampton for spending some time with us.

This is one the fun roads you can travel down on the way to Las Vegas from Arizona. We couldn’t reach it to put a Slide America sticker on it however.

This is the casino right across from the Hoover Damn into Nevada. Andy ended up peeing outside this casino and we had to make a quick bolt from security because he decided to go in the parking lot instead of inside the casino. Their advertising campaign is simply amazing….

Gary Lang and Ben Reyes were awesome hosts as we rolled into the Big Albuquerque. They took us to Rent2Race.com and then out to the Sandia Motor Speedway where the guys tore it up in the new rides. The new two tone paint they slapped together looks awesome and I suck because it appears that I produced no pictures. So I am going to provide you with some entertainment from our travels between Houston, Texas and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

This is shortly after Andy Sapp got out of the Emergency Room in Texas…..I got bored and was jumping our minivan off curbs and managed to lose the bumper.

Here are two snaps from Roswell, New Mexico! 1947, Slide America believes!

Oh man! Houston was insane. Yes I know it happened quite a while ago. Sorry Houston-240sx guys for not posting this stuff up earlier! We had a blast but sadly some cars came to a crashing hault. We got yelled at by mall security and tore up a sweet ass road in town. Casey “Tirekiller” got cuffed and slammed face first into a cop car! Thanks to everyone that came out, we saw some sick cars and some crazy talent for middle America. Keep it up guys. Sorry Momma Sapp for taking so long :(.

Oh yea! Memphis was some of the wildest drifting we have seen. Forrest Luster gave me a ride in his S13 Nissan 240sx and it was wild!!!!! We had a few wrecks and some more special guests. Ranzo, well known from the Grip Videos they filmed in Japan came out and told us some awesome stories. The Traction Optional guys repped hard and we had quite a time. They had a sweet drift spot and really pushed the cars to destruction.

Well we finally made it west of the Mississippi. Yes, St. Louis is in the middle of no where but we have some crazy drift footage! We spent the two days we were in town at Adrenaline Motorsports, a great shop off I-55 in town. Susan and Charlie are the best and showed us great hospitality. We also got to take out Susan’s Nissan Skyline R34 for some drifting and Darren’s Toyota Supra. Trespassing on federal property, oh yes, we did it and got busted!
