Back at it again, these two cars were running very aggressively, having a good offset drifting field day at Horse Thief Mile! Here they are at the bottom of one of the turns, about to accelerate uphill!
This dark green S13 hatchback was super clean looking, accelerating out of the highest elevation turn at Horse Thief!

SMOKE SUNBURN AND STRETCHED TIRES: ASB4
On Sunday, tons of people were running Horse Thief Mile with their hoods off - presumably to keep their engines cooler since it was well over 100 degrees at the track? Either way, they still looked cool! Check out Justin Pawlak in the blue FC chasing down Forrest Wang's green S13!

Speaking of old school Japanese drifting style, you can't forget Mark Slide Squad. This guy doesn't only have a bunch of cool historic Japanese drift team stickers, he has some history himself! I first met Mark at a Battle of the Imports back in 1999 or 2000 or something. Yes, we met at an import drag race, haha! He's a super nice guy, and a die hard S13 maniac.
He had one of the first drifting style S13 Silvias I ever saw with my own eyes in the USA (the old blue one - check Google or look for old copies of Young Version Magazine or Super Street to check it out), plus one of the cleanest RB26 powered S13s I've seen (the red Silvia coupe - buy a copy of Drifting - Sideways from Japan to America at your local bookstore to see the car in action)... and now he has a new project - a super clean black RPS13 with gunmetal Regamaster Evo wheels and the super cool RPS13 rear trimpiece for his kouki 180SX lights.
Mark's new black RPS13 is a work in progress - Mark is going to build it with old school "Japanese street drifter" style in mind, while keeping the car extremely clean, to show S13 guys that you don't need to have a beat up S13 to be a hardcore drifter... and you don't need to drive a carshow queen to have a clean car. The dashboard and interior on this car are sooo clean! Keep checking back with Speedhunters for updates to this car, we'll definitely show more pics as Mark finishes his car up!
BTW: I absolutely LOVE the sticker style on Mark's car. I personally have many of these stickers, but not all of them! Mark's rocking tomodachi stickers from legendary Japanese drift teams such as Rapid, Break, Running Free, Marionette, ICBM, Koguchi Power, and even EIGHTYSIX FACTORY - a sticker that I used to have on one of my cars before it got wrecked. Damn, I wish I didn't use it on my car, then I would still have a copy for my collection! Damn!!! His rear window even has the old school ghetto Slide Squad stickers that his teammate Dave made at Kinko's in Thousand Oaks CA about 10 years ago! Hilarious! I still have this sticker in my desk drawer, from 10 years ago.

I absolutely loved this dark silver S15 Silvia!!! I'm not quite sure who owned it, but it had a very capable driver and an awesome stance! This S15 was drifting with super low stance and good offset Work XD9 wheels! I loved watching this thing! I think it's from San Diego because of the Drift Circuit sticker on the side window... I should have looked for the owner of this car in the pits, but it was super hot that day, so at the time I was more concerned with finding some cold water to rehydrate myself!

Here's Brian Harte of Pink Godzira, chasing a blue RPS13 into the corner on the Willow Springs Balcony. I love the sticker style on Brian's car! He has a bunch of old school Japanese drifting team stickers on his S14 - reminds me of the privately driven drift cars in Japan, and I love it. RIP to Brian's S14 - the front end got smashed up in a crash at this same very corner on Saturday, while Brian was doing exactly the same thing... divebombing into the corner with some friends. We'll see what Brian has planned for his next car - I'm sure it will be cool.

On Sunday, these same guys were bombing hard on Horse Thief Mile as well! I'm sure Speedhunters readers will like these cars, right? Aggressive stance, big aero kit cars that are actually being used for drifting. These guys are super down!

This isn't the only green S13 at Just Drift events, but when you see the Drift Apparel sticker on the side of the car, you know the owner of the car is from the 808 state, Hawaii! This green S13 has an S14 face on it, and is owned by Forrest Wang from Hawaii, who has been killing it in the Nopi Drift series. Respect! And I love the Work Equip wheels he's rocking! Just look at the smoke bellowing from behind the fatlip rear wheels! Dope.
