This is part 2 of our multi part coverage of the Formula Drift event in Palm Beach, FL. Day 2 was final qualifying and it was just as hot out as the day before. The course layout had been changed slightly since a few drivers made friends with the wall a few times on the original layout. However, this didn’t stop these guys from driving at an extremely high level. It’s been an action packed season and this event in Palm Beach was no different. Even in the qualifying rounds the compwttion was fierce. Enjoy the pics and keep your eyes peeled for Day 3 coverage to post in the next few days. ...

Nick Weber and his father are the sole principle of Nick’s Customs. A shop based out of Jersey that builds good ‘ole bare hands, torched, cut and welded rolling art. So it’s no surprise that Nick’s 1946 Chevy Pick Up is nothing short of a masterpiece. I called Joe to let him know I was coming up to chill with him at the next Formula Drift event at Wall Speedway when he says to me, “You have to see this truck I just finished shooting!” And after a quick pic he shot over to me my first reaction was; “Please tell me you shoot it for SoS..” And so here it is, Nick’s beautiful creation,...

Apparently, this particular JDM Subaru WRX had been “borrowed” from its owner, who was on vacation. And since you can actually hardly fault the hay bales themselves, we’re guessing this driver, who was not seriously injured in the accident, is gonna have some serious...
Formula D: Round 3 at PBIR – Day 1
posted by FAL_Frank
We have all been looking forward to this event for some time now and it feels like it came and went so quickly. First time Formula D comes to Florida? This is a huge deal to us! I even went out and bought a new MacBook Pro so that I could get the event pictures out to you guys sooner, but unfortunately Formula D did not have WiFi readily available (they were using the bandwidth for the live stream) and to top it off my friends house that I was staying at for the weekend did not have WiFi either. I had quite a bit of bad luck through the weekend with my car breaking down after Friday’s event (If you were driving on Beeline and PGA...

Robb Hopkins is one of those builders that looks to achieve very specific goals when tuning a car. He mentioned to me that he is chasing perfection, chasing the trifecta; power, handling and looks. Power gets checked off the list with 330whp thanks to a larger turbo, full exhaust, front mount...

Not A One Hit Wonder

While writing this up I can’t help to think about the first time I met Huey. It was at the Simply Clean 2 event. As I stood there watching everybody stare at his Civic in astonishment, I couldn’t help to think as beautiful as this car was, can he do it again? Well…Huey defiantly delivers. Huey known for changing rims like some of us change clothes, has also had people waiting for the next event to see what he’ll do next. Kind of like a band releasing new hits, Huey is not a one hit wonder. After sitting down and talking to him during a previous photo shoot I learned that he shared the same goal as me. Which was...
