V8 Supercar Dopeness >>> Me Down Under (Well, Kind Of) At The Austin 400

I want to put this out there from the beginning: I have never seen the 1990 Tom Selleck western, Quigley Down Under, which features the aforementioned actor portraying an American cowboy and sharpshooter hired by an Australian to kill off the Aborigines people from long distances. Yet, when people learn of my last name, the inquisition into whether I have viewed said film is something that usually transpires.

Personal Dopeness >> Photographer Becomes the Driver and Designer

After reporting on drift events from across the country for now three years, it feels odd to step back from the camera and instead become the car designer, builder, and driver. Outside of shooting for OMGDrift, I am actually a mechanical engineering student at Florida Tech in my fourth year of studies. As a final test of our ability to design and build a project, myself and a team of engineers spent two semesters designing, building, testing, and finally competing with a vehicle built almost entirely by our own hands.

Video Dopeness >>> Odi Bakchis getting down in the preseason

Bakchis Motorsports: 2013 Preseason Video from Ross Fairfield on Vimeo.

Team OMGDrift driver Odi Bakchis likes to stay busy during the offseason. Between running Feal Suspension, testing for Formula D and getting out to Pro-am events, he hardly has time for anything else.

But his dedication shows when he hits the track. Take a look at this video that he just dropped, and see for yourself what his normal routine consists of.

Florida Dopeness >>> Florida Doesn’t Sleep During the Winter

While those in the Great White North have kept their toys locked away inside, I have been out and about around Florida enjoying the best weather of the year. With not even an ounce of snow touching the ground, there is no such thing as an off-season in the tropical south.
