US Drift Coverage - Phoenix, AZ - *PIX*

[friscomgm]

First, a huge thanks to Brady Dohrman and the organizers of this event. Drifting has been tough to get going here in AZ with closures of major motorsports parks, nitpicky track owners, and ocassionally lack of local support. We were happy to see that some folks were able to make it from out of state to this event - and we hope that you had a blast!

I also enjoyed the opportunity to shoot motorsports again - it's been a while since I've shot more than just some hard parking. :-P

Second, I've got plenty of footage that should be compiled and edited into a pretty sick video trailer, but this might take at least another week to put together. Special thanks to Elvis Sandoval and Jeff Hoffman for assisting with the footage duties.

Anyhow, onto the pix. I am upping some of my current favorite pix in a new format/gallery that I will be using a bit more often. Upping should be done soon and I'll probably update this thread tomorrow or something..

Next - a few in-thread sample shots starting with ACTION:










Moving on to people:









Keeping it moving with a few vertical shots of some hard parking:

Keeping it going - the CARNAGE of the day:







17x10 +25 on stock fenders with slight roll? Not a problem!





A few macros thrown in for good measure:







And wrapping things up with a wide angle shot (it finally started raining on our way home):



Hope you guys like the shots! Online gallery coming soon...
