Blue Ribbon Z Nessen Forged Nissan Photography by Mick Harris Mick Harris has done a great job of building quite the impressive Nissan Z with a very long list of modifications. Normlly wild kitted cars don’t wet my whislte and tend to get overdone, however Mick has found a fantastic balance in agressive styling and clean well put together parts.

And So It Begins Formula Drift Round 1, Streets of Long Beach Photography by Joseph Ginzburg Maybe I’m just crazy, but to me there is something magical about opening day of a new season of any motorsports series.  Formula Drift is no different.
