Internet Love: OUTSIDERS
You may have heard of Driftworks before, you may have not, If you havent they are the go to place in the UK for anything drift related. They build some amazing cars and a few years back they took a pretty long trip to Japan to check out the drift scene and they filmed the whole thing. Now two years after the DVD released they put it up on youtube for free and its amazing. So sit back and enjoy all things Japan, narrated by some British dudes for a whole hour and a half.

Get Involved - Corner Work
The series continues with the best way to get up close and personal with professional race cars: Corner Work.
Get Involved is a series of posts detailing a forms of grassroots motorsports on a weekly basis. I write these posts with one goal: To get you to bring your car to an entry level motorsport event. I want you to stop buying parts, stop planning for 'some day,' stop building the perfect car, and register for an event. It is ridiculously easy to have fun with your car right now, as you're currently driving it. You don't need a racing license. You don't need a roll cage, a fire suit, or expensive modifications. You do need $40, a valid state issued drivers license, and a car in safe driving condition. It doesn't matter if its a stock Camry, a tuned Civic, or a $75k Corvette, there's a place for you. There are a number of ways to get started - whether you want to drive on asphalt, dirt, or a race track. Maybe you don't have a car you're willing to autocross or PDX? Maybe you prefer working behind the scenes, making larger events possible. Or maybe you like earning discounted track time? You can still get involved with racing - in fact you can get closer than any ticket you can purchase will allow.
You can see the full list of event types here: Get Involved. This page will be updated as each installment is posted.
