All Star Bash 2010 Just Drift Ziptied Willow Springs International Raceway MotorMavens

Most of us in the United States are celebrating Independence Day today, the Fourth of July. This weekend, Mike Kim, Larry Chen and I represented the Southern Cali chapter of the MotorMavens Crew were out at Willow Springs International Raceway, shooting photos at the Ziptied/Just Drift All Star Bash drifting festival.

We had an awesome time at All Star Bash (as always), as it’s always good to catch up with old friends and meet lots of new drifting friends. This year, I think that the cars that traveled the furthest distance to be at ASB were from Canada’s west coast… somewhere near Vancouver. Big ups to the Drift Union guys, driving out with their super sick purple tire eaters.

We’re still in the midst of all the July 4th festivities, so we have some more drinking and celebrating to do… sorry for the delay! More photos from All Star Bash coming soon, but we need to head out to a friend’s party right now!

Happy 4th of July from the MotorMavens Crew!

About Post Author
I am... a nonstop buyer of Japanese car magazines even though I can't read them, a long-time collector of rare steering wheels, horn buttons, deep offset wheels, fresh Kangols, hip hop mixtapes, and vintage Japanese automobilia. My background is in shooting advertisements and editorial photos for print magazines, as well as working with major motion picture studios in Hollywood. I love cars. I have a huge collection of vintage Toyota memorabilia and rare parts to go with all the cars in my collection. My life revolves around photography, cars and car culture. At the same time, I grew up around the culture of hip hop music, with a reverence for graffiti art and underground mixtapes. I've been involved with the emerging drifting scene in the USA since the late 1990s (as a fan), and began working with print magazines all over the world as a photographer in 2003. I eventually decided to travel all over the world to document drifting as it evolved from Japanese subculture to pop culture and authored my first hardcover book, entitled "Drifting: Sideways from Japan to America," in 2006 - the first book ever produced on the topic of drifting. One year later, I was contracted to create the first mass-produced and internationally distributed calendar on the same topic (2008 release). These projects were just a labor of love for me, so I never expected to randomly see my book or calendar on bookshelves and coffee tables in other countries. These projects certainly opened a lot of new doors though, like being contracted to help launch car culture editorial outlets for big corporations, like Speedhunters for EA Games' Need for Speed franchise, Driving Line for Nitto Tire, and NBC Universal's Fast & Furious franchise. Our website and brand has come a long way since it first started in 2009. Since then, we have launched events like 86FEST, V8BUILDS, and MotorMassive. Thank you to everyone who has supported us in our mission to share our website and our authentic passion for the automotive scene! -Antonio Alvendia • www.ANTONIOSURESHOT.com • @AntonioSureshot on Instagram

    The Drift Union guys are from Kelowna, which is about a four and a half hour drive away from Vancouver. I dunno about you, but by my standards that’s not very close, haha.

    Those guys were definitely cool and ripping it up. Such a fun event! Can’t wait for the complete coverage

    haha Mr. Moons. When I met those guys and they told me where they were from, I had never even heard of the city. I didn’t know it existed, but I know they said it was in Canada, on the west coast somewhere, so I figure… yeah, near Vancouver. haha ignorant Americans strike again.
