Drift Matsuri Nov 2009 Ebisu Circuit Video/Pictures

[Biggamehit]

Myself and 2 other Gaijin Drifters from Misawa Japan ventured 4 1/2 hours down to Ebisu Circuit in Fukushima Japan on Nov 13/14/15 2009. The event that took place was the ever famous Drift Matsuri. Due to the insane amount of sliding going on... I didn't have much time to get lots of footage. Most of the on car footage I got of us Drifting was ruined by the Rain..

As far as damage, we had 4 studs snap off while drifting on the D1 course, and some minor wall taps which some were cool. around hour 14 or 15 of drifting, a major blow was dealt to the S-chassis breaking the core support in half and ripping the tension rod bracket from the frame. The only thing holding the wheel on was the coilover, stabilizer and brake lines lol.

It sucked to not get in the next day of drifting, but we got more time than others. Some cars were wrecked within the first 3 hours. Will go again!!!!

Did you happen to meet up with a guy named Nick, he was supposed to be drifting a 4 door GTR. He's one of the local drifters up here in Philly and owns Elite JDM. He goes over there several times a year to source a ton of JDM stuff from wheels to front clips to everything in between.
