The great NASCAR conspiracy has been traveling around for sometime now in Drifting circles around the nation. We just may have found the men who are going to make it all come true. That is Daijiro Yoshihara and Rhys Millen standing at Bristol Motorspeedway (a legendary bullring 1/2 mile oval) used in NASCAR.

The track did give Rhys and Dai some chances to drive on the track as well.  The Bristol race is August 23rd, and if Drifting is going on you need to not worry…..Wrecked Magazine will be there. Stay tuned for updates.

After Formula D Atlanta the RMR Drifting crew consisting of Rhys Millen (Pontiac Solstice) and Daijiro Yoshihara (Pontiac GTO) headed to Bridgestone North America for a demo on the streets in front of their headquarters. Daijiro and Rhys loved a chance to have the streets closed and tear up Nashville, Tennessee!

Here is Daijiro ripping it up in his new GTO for 2008 on the streets.

Bridgestone got the road closed in front of the complex and the RMR crew left them a parting gift.

Here is the Bridgestone team after the event. We need more companies doing fun demos in the parking lot and streets around their offices!

Well if this season hasn’t become more exciting with every waking hour the RMR team in California has just leaked some information that doubles triples the hype around Long Beach. After testing and doing shake downs with the GTO they have opted to trash the current LS1 engine in favor for a LS7 engine out of the Corvette Z06. If your not a LS1 guru or don’t understand what a Corvette Z06 is then let me break it down like a fraction for you. More power+more torque= Daijiro is going to rip it up at the track this year. Just remember Daijiro was in our predictions to win Formula D and I think this move just helps seal that deal!
