Back in the Saddle Rhys is Gonna Flip The Truck
Drifting as a sport may not have the highest profile in the world, but it is becoming know for having some of the most talented drivers. Rhys Millen is going to flip his truck out of 2008 and into 2009. While practicing the stunt last year, Rhys hit the takeoff ramp with a bit too much speed and ended up crashing. Looks like he is not going to let fear stop him from reaching his goals. He could easily sit on his laurels and ride his other successes, but Rhys appears to have remained hungry. My hats off to Rhys, it takes a lot of guts to get back up after being knocked down and attempt a stunt like this.

Texas builds a Nissan Bodied Corvette
In a drastic measure to save GM, the team behind the Corvette has started to throw 10 year old Nissan bodies on them. Rumor has it, this concept vehicle came out of the ALosey skunkworks in Texas. You can see in the video, the design team is still having traction and smoke issues, but I am sure they will fix that before the car goes into production.

Drift Cars on the Highway … To Hell?
Redbull Drift parade in the LBC
The audio is horrible, the video is dark and shaky, but it’s cool to see a bunch of racecars rolling down the road. Amazing how out of place they look on the streets. Highlights include the deafening sound of JTP at 3:40, Canada at 1:32, and the slick e30 at 4:42.
