Here is a video that features the Drift Safari guys at the N.O.S. Forum Fest 2010 at Pacific Raceways. It is raw, but still cool. I do not know the film maker.

Drift Safari was invited to drive at the NOS Forum Fest at Pacific Raceways in Seattle. A lot of the team attended and ripped it up hard. Mat, Ian, Trent, Steve, Kohei, Pete, and Matt Do all drove the event. The course was setup with 2 main drifting sections, a high speed back and forth, and a up hill S turn, then we would go on the same course the opposite way. It was a blast. Here are some great pictures shared from a bunch of different photographers...

This course was what we call a square tire maker if you were doing ebrake entries as long as Steve and Kohei...

On the way back to Alex Phifer's we took Mulholland Hwy from the Pacific to the end of pavement. Wow.

 

...then almost home we saw this huge go cart facility from the freeway, we stopped by and they had a track made for drifting, for real. It was called slick track.
