Driftday

Born and raised in Los Angeles. I always had a passion for cars.I graduated from Art Center College of Design in 1997 with a B.S. in Transportation Design. By the time I graduated, I was already addicted to driving. I was designing toys right after college and spending most of time attending various track events.After a year or so designing toys, I moved on to video games where I became a 3D modeler and animator for various game companies. Whenever I had a chance, I was still attending driving events and I even hosted my own private events at various track in Southern California. It was 1999 when I met Moto from Club4ag and we had a crazy idea of organizing a Drift clinic for some of the AE86 people on the forums. After some careful planning and a lot of research, we had our very first official Drift Day at Irwindale Speedway on March, 2002.After the first event, we hosted 3 more events in 02 and the rest is pretty much history. Drift Showoff, D1 Grand Prix and Formula Drift followed shortly after. Since 2002, we have successfully hosted 40 Drift Days and we will continue bringing more new concepts to keep the sport alive.
