Event: Ebisu Autumn Drift Matsuri 2011 Part I
It’s that time of year again, when drivers from all corners of the globe converge on what is known as ‘drift heaven’ in the hills of northern Japan. The two-day event has been made famous in thousands of images, videos, and stories of what make Ebisu Drift Matsuri’s such a unique experience. Here’s a look at this year’s Autumn Drift Matsuri!

The event was judged by professional drivers, including the world famous Orido Manabu who also got a bit of track time in his Ridox Supra. There were individual, tsuiso (chase) style, and triple tsuiso team events, with plenty of non-stop action throughout the day.

Early autumn’s lack of race events in my area was more than made up for in the amount of amazing machinery on display at various meet-ups. Most recently, Option Magazine had a meeting to commemorate their 30th Anniversary as a publication.
Feature Car: Jetta MkIII
I spotted this clean and simple MkIII Jetta at Hellaflush and wanted to take a closer look. I may be a bit biased, as I am the owner of a black MkIII Jetta myself, but central Japan’s ShermanOaksCustoms demonstrate how a few well-executed details and a bit of stance can go a long way.
