Our homie Jack thought this blue 240SX from Las Vegas looked all too similar to his own “Blue Dolphin” RPS13, which has similar blue paint. In fact, I kept thinking mistaking this car for Jack’s car when it was out on the track – it’s kind of hard to tell the difference from afar, but this car obviously uses Enkei RPF1 wheels, and Jack’s uses white TE37s. Jack’s car never made it to the team drift competition yesterday night though, because he blew his SR20DET motor earlier in the day… but this VegasDrift Pro Am competition S13 kept on going, super strong into the late afternoon and night time drifting sessions!

It has been ten days since the Formula D tour rolled the dice through Sin City, and what an event it was. We’ve already shown you numerous photos and videos from the Vegas event, so we thought we’d wrap up our photographic coverage of the event today.

In the pit area right before qualifying, the Apex’i crew was busy at work – either their differential or ring and pinion seized up, because the rear wheels on Ryuji Miki’s FD3s wouldn’t spin at all – they were completely locked up! The Apex’i crew always seems to be working tirelessly, as we always see them working on their cars on the side of the track.

In this photo, we see Jeren Walker from DSPORT Magazine offering to lend a helping hand, so that the Apex’i crew could get the car back on track and Miki could qualify. Jeren works for a magazine – he wasn’t hired to help Apex’i; he had nothing to gain from getting down and dirty, helping to get Miki’s car back on track. Yet he willingly volunteered to help, because that’s what people do from the grassroots drifting scene. Wait… Apex’i..? Grassroots? Continued @ MotorMavens.com
