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.

This was just posted over at Wrecked Magazine, check it! Huge news for 2008.

“I just was mailed a document from one of my favorite sources before we left out of town and inside was a 10-15 page document laying out the plans for Scion to enter Drifting in 2008. Yes, that is right……Scion is stepping up in a HUGE way in 2008! They are converting a Scion tC into a RWD drifting machine under the flagship of well known RSR. Here is the cover of the Scion Drifting packet.

The current known sponsors of the project are Scion, RSR, Toyo Tires, Enkei Wheels, and Sparco. Here are some other vehicle renderings in the packet.

Now later in the packet they announce a driver, Ken Gushi formally of Ford Racing. Apparently Scion is making some big strides taking away Ken Gushi from Ford. What will this car have in store for 2008? It will be an interesting project to keep your eye on but I feel Scion will do the project justice. Scion has played a huge role in the growth of sport compact and I feel they will make sure their Drifting program goes well. Here is a confirmation on Ken Gushi from the packet.

Don’t miss this car in Formula D for 2008! Rumor has it this car will make the Impot Tuner cover so keep your eye out! I think they should trash Import Tuner and go with Wrecked! Who’s with me?”
