This guy doesn't only have a bunch of cool historic Japanese drift team stickers, he has some history himself! I first met Mark at a Battle of the Imports back in 1999 or 2000 or something. Yes, we met at an <i>import drag</i> race, haha! He's a super nice guy, and a die hard S13 maniac. <br />He had one of the first drifting style S13 Silvias I ever saw with my own eyes in the USA (the old blue one - check Google or look for old copies of <i>Young Version Magazine</i> or <i>Super Street</i> to check it out), plus one of the cleanest RB26 powered S13s I've seen (the red Silvia coupe - buy a copy of <i>Drifting - Sideways from Japan to America</i> at your local bookstore to see the car in action)... and now he has a new project - a super clean black RPS13 with gunmetal Regamaster Evo wheels and the super cool RPS13 rear trimpiece for his kouki 180SX lights. <br />Mark's new black RPS13 is a work in progress - Mark is going to build it with old school "Japanese street drifter" style in mind, while keeping the car extremely clean, to show S13 guys that you don't need to have a beat up S13 to be a hardcore drifter... and you don't need to drive a carshow queen to have a clean car. The dashboard and interior on this car are sooo clean! Keep checking back with Speedhunters for updates to this car, we'll definitely show more pics as Mark finishes his car up!<br />BTW: I absolutely LOVE the sticker style on Mark's car. I personally have many of these stickers, but not all of them! Mark's rocking tomodachi stickers from legendary Japanese drift teams such as Rapid, Break, Running Free, Marionette, ICBM, Koguchi Power, and even <i>EIGHTYSIX FACTORY</i> - a sticker that I used to have on one of my cars before it got wrecked. Damn, I wish I didn't use it on my car, then I would still have a copy for my collection! Damn!!! His rear window even has the old school ghetto Slide Squad stickers that his teammate Dave made at Kinko's in Thousand Oaks CA about 10 years ago! Hilarious! I still have this sticker in my desk drawer, from 10 years ago.

I'm not quite sure who owned it, but it had a very capable driver and an awesome stance! This S15 was drifting with super low stance and good offset Work XD9 wheels! I loved watching this thing! I think it's from San Diego because of the Drift Circuit sticker on the side window... I should have looked for the owner of this car in the pits, but it was super hot that day, so at the time I was more concerned with finding some cold water to rehydrate myself!

I really gotta give props to the drifters and drifting fans from all over the West Coast who braved the 100+ degree heat in Southern California's Mojave Desert; it was ridiculously scorching hot - the type of heat that leaves you sunburnt and sunstroked with heat exhaustion.<br />One thing I feel the need to mention too...  even though Federal Tires didn't actually have corporate presence at the event, to the average onlooker, it certainly felt like they did. The Just Drift crew did a great job of making sure there was tons of Federal Tire signage all over the track and pit area... and if that didn't get your attention, then certainly Federal Tire graphics all over the Just Drift S13s certainly did. (Cars owned by Charlie Ongsingco and Henry Shelley)<br />In the above photo, this trio of S chassis Nissans were very fun to watch as they divebombed hard into the corners one after another on the Willow Springs balcony on Saturday! Just look at the wheel fitment on the gold S13, which is owned by Tommy Roberts from San Diego! That guy is reppin SD pretty hard! Big ups to Tommy and the Westslide Connection crew!
