Part two of our Final bout photo dump consists of Saturday and Sunday of the event; I blended both days into the video we just did as it made for a better watch. I was surprised these videos didn’t do well on the channel, but what can you do? Either way, the drifting is nonstop all day Saturday and goes on into the night until about 11 PM, which is so cool.

Tunes are blaring through the system, and they have a best team drift event, followed by a tandem battle where the top guy battles against the Japanese driver over the ship. It’s such a cool even as you are also judged on the style of the car, which aids for points at the end of the day. Here is a sizable photo set from the two days of action. I hope you enjoy it. If you have any questions, drop a comment below. Cheers.

I’ve split the Final bout photos into two posts because there are many. I enjoy photos, and this blog has become a place for pictures and little writing, which is good as my images are better than how I construct a sentence. I will start here on Friday evening when we arrive at USAir in Shawano. Being Irish, the first thing I have to comment on is the weather; that perfect midwest summer sun was working wonders for anything I pointed the camera at. I wish we got more of those golden hour days in Ireland; regardless, please enjoy the selection of photos from the first night we got to FinalBout, as I feel some of these photos will be a good inspiration for others on how to approach a chassis, a lot of these guys have it figured out. It was great to see this stuff all packed into one venue.

With epic tandem drifts and close calls with incredible-looking cars, this is the coolest team drift event in the world. This is our look at Final Bout.

We get invited to a private gathering of drift cars in Chicago before Final Bout.

We call to Jimmy Oakes and friends and check out their workshop.

We experience a wild variety of madness at our first US car show, Clean Culture.

Im trying to catch up super quick, as I’ve mentioned in. a few of these articles, so the photos come out more or less at the same time as the videos as a nice compliment for those who like photos. I’ve been saying a lot less on here as I feel I cover most of it in the Videos on the YouTube channel, and im pretty sure 99% of the people who come here to see these posts are here after watching the video, so ill keep my rambling brief, maybe I should keep the blog posts for getting into more detail on cars if it allows?
Im open to suggestions as to what people want to see on here. I still have a dedicated selection of people who check the blog, so Im adamant about keeping it running as a nice archive for things, too. This visit to Redline almost didn’t happen. Colton missed the email, but he was such a nice guy and gave us the grand tour of his collection. I’ll let these legends speak for themselves in the photos below. If you have any questions, drop me a comment, and I’ll reply. Cheers for looking, as always.
