"Taimen Dorifuto" Kumakubo VS. Tanaka D1 Street Legal Ebisu
Here's a little extra surprise Dorifuto vid for you! This is TEAM ORANGE's Kumakubo heading it off with team mate Tanaka. I mean literally heading it out! In Japanese, taimen means face off, head to head, head on etc....so taimen drift is head on drifting.
These 2 are famous for their "head on drifting" antics. They do this stunt drifting at most big D1 events..if you've ever seen a JDM Option or Drift Tengoku (Drift Heaven) dvd, chances are you've seen them do it before.
They did it once again at the last D1 Street legal meeting at Ebisu last weekend. It was unreal to see it in real life. Kumakubo in his orange Jun made FR WRX Impreza boasting 550hp with Tanaka in his former range s15 Silvia....horsepower???? enough to kick ass on the drift track! With out further adue..here is the "taimen" drift vid!
Look out for one more motion drift vid I'm in the process of puitting together! Cheers, Stuart!!

D1 Street Legal Round 2 Ebisu April 2007
Hey drift fans. Stu here with another drifting news update. Last weekend was the second round of D1 Grand Prix Street Legal drift league held in Ebisu circuit south course.
As a matter of fact, the major D1 Grand Prix Round 1 was held in Ebisu at the end on March but luck was not on my side :( I had to teach english both Staurday and Sunday so I wasn't able to go and get the coverage on it for you all!
I heard Kumakubo came first again! No surprise..he is on fire these days! But D1 street legal was just as exciting. And there were fewer people there than there always is at the real D1 so I could watch from any spot I wanted.
I took a bunch of photos and some video clips too. There were all sorts of drift cars there. A much wider reange than the real D1 series. There was an NSX, MR2, 350Z (the older fat ones Z32 I think) and even an old GC8 WRX Impreza like my daily driver!
And the quality of drifting was up there with the D1 drivers. There were a few guys still needing a lot more practice but the final 16 (after qualifying) were all good drifters!
Ok enough of the boring story..here are some photos I made into a slide show and uploaded to youtube. Enjoy...
The winner of the D1 Street Legal round 2 was some guy...(forgot his name) but he drove a blue S13 silvia. The final round was a tuff competition. He was up against a red s14 silvia. To me they looked as good as eachother but to the judges, Kumakubo and Tanaka (pro D1 drivers from team orange), the winner was the s13 driver.
