    Lone Star Drift – Round 1!

    S2K NST Booth

    I hadn’t shot an official Round of the Lone Star Drift Series since back in 2013, Round 6, and I definitely am going to try to make up for that this year! I’m glad me and some friends were able to make the 6+ hour drive up from the RGV to get some great photos, I learned more about the event and how it all works since I’m still new to all this, and of course having some great times off the track as well!

    American Muscle Cars and the drag strip go hand in hand, and in the stands you’ll see spectators of all ages and all walks of life. You don’t have to be a car guy to appreciate the sound coming from the burnout box, leading up to staging, and ultimately lining up and dropping the hammer split seconds before that last green light comes on. I started Gear-Trends with the mindset to photograph cars, talk about them a bit, their story and just inspire people with what some locally have done. Up to this point it’s primarily been street cars, although most of the cars we’ve featured can hold their own on the track. This year we’re starting a new series that will be separate from our standard features, and we’re calling this series “The Lords Of The 1320”!

    Lone Star Drift Clinic : Practice Makes Perfect

    Texas VC
    Can I start off by saying I have the best “job” running this blog? Ok I wouldn’t call this a job, I don’t get paid, we make no money…I need to really work on that. But seriously, I don’t know that many people that get to jump around and get a close up look on the different aspects of the automotive world- being a photographer definitely has its perks. I’ve seen guys put together some amazing cars and use them for completely different forms of racing compared the car feature we put up previously. From the quarter mile racers, auto-x track guys, and even here in the valley we have the drift community starting to make some waves – and I get to see it all close up and be a part of it, even for just a weekend.
