Matt’s Home Built 240sx S13
Allow me to introduce "Nancy", a less than serious take on the popular 240sx (S13) platform. This is a true no-fu*ks-given build that proves you don't need a big budget and 500bhp to have fun drifting. -
STAFF PROJECT: The Life and Death of the Swagger Wagon
Every auto enthusiast has that one car... for some, it's their first car, for other's it's that old ratty pick-up, or any vehicle inbetween. That one car that stands out in your memory as the all time favourite... -
VIDEO: Drift Union Invitational 2012
After the success of last years Drift Union Invitational, I was inspired at this year's DUI to try and create a video that would dive a little deeper into the hidden gem that is Western Canada's drift scene. I wanted to make something more than just a short video, a mini-documentary of sorts. Something that could give you an insight into the minds of the drivers, show what goes on through the full weekend, the ups the downs, the drifting, the partying... an all encompassing video that is: The Drift Union Invitational. -
FEATURE: Josh’s Deadbeat BMW
When I think of a BMW in North America, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the stance and fitment movement. You know... Stanceworks and Lowly Gentlemen. Classy, well-fitted bimmers scraping at static height or laying frame on bags. While Europe has been at the forefront, for obvious reasons, North America has been a little late to the game when it comes to using them for drift cars... -
GRASSROOTS: Capital City Drift Season Opener
Winter came and went, now skid season is back in full swing. Last years heroes have spent the past six months building and testing. The kids who watched them at the previous events have saved up their precious pennies, bought their own cars, and have scrambled for seat time. The gates to Western Speedway in Victoria, BC are open.... -
GRASSROOTS: Capital City Drift ‘Mo’vember Practice Day
Thank goodness it's Movember and I have this nice bushy mustache to keep my upper lip warm, because the final Capital City Drift practice day was a chilly one. -

VIDEO: Capital City Drift Halloween Practice
'Tis the month of October, and the Drift season is near over. With a few more track days left to run, the atmosphere is aimed at fun. With Halloween just weeks away, the drifters all dressed up to play. And in the spirit of this time, I'll write this post in way of rhyme. -
EVENT: Evergreen Drift ProAm Round 5
ProAm round 5 and Grassroots round 4 was hosted at Evergreen Speedway this past month, deciding who would be moving on next year and also the awarding of Formula Drift licenses. The game has changed in Washington and next year should be amazing as we here watch our fellow drifters on their pursuit to the pro life. -
GRASSROOTS: Drift-Ops with some CoolKids
Drift day on September 10th! Dope! This event was hosted by Wayne Lee from Drift-Ops and the Coolkids club. A bunch of good dudes that make it possible for us Southern Ontario peeps to get out there and freshen up on our driving skills, and have a good time! -

EVENT: Drift Union Invitational
The purple trio, Drift Union, have been causing quite the stir on the web as of late with their colour matched triple tandems. To inspire more people to follow their lead, Shawn Browne held the first annual Drift Union Invitational; Triple Team Tandem Event. True to their Keep Drifting Fun attitude it was structured more as a fun day rather than a competition. -

GRASSROOTS: Cell Block D 20
Agassiz's Speedway is a simple oval, two corners and two straights, but it is small and tight... and notorious for taking out cars. Most often, inexperienced drivers panic and hit the brakes, understeering into the wall. But even pros, who have been drifting the track since 2007 when Cell Block D started have had their share of mishaps here....

Winter Blues
"What is your favourite season?" Classic question for first dates. A quick google search tells me that thirty-one percent of the population would tell you the best answer: Summer. Spring and Fall are also acceptable answers, some people just can't take the heat! But can you believe there are folks out there who say: "Oh! I just absolutely LOVE winter!"? -
VIDEO: Drift Union 2010 Video Online Premier
Just barely over one year ago I moved to Kelowna, British Columbia and met Shawn Browne and Logan Noel, the two champs that are the main drive behind Drift Union. Check out the online premier of our 2010 adventure! -
VIDEO: Drift Posse 101
Even now, every year the pro drifting season ends, the big scary race cars go back in to their little garages; and our country (for the most part) gets blanketed with wonderful white stuff called snow. Every year, just like the year before, the local drift crew dusts off their trusty old 'winter beater' drift cars and waits patiently for the right conditions to get out and practice. -
