Our meets at William Land Park are always a great time! The setting out in the park with big shade trees, smooth concrete, and getting our slides on. This always provides big smiles, and good times to be had by all! Our track was looking the best it ever has. We have been working on new wood walls for the track, and we started a very big project, our track control tower / pit stalls. Lots of our members kicked in on materials, labor, and tools. Justsidewayz had the vision of what he wanted, and a good idea of what it would take to get it done. oneTEN Drift Network would like to thank every one that pitched in and helped. You guys know who you are! Anyways back to the day @ WLP. Everything looked really amazing! Big thanks to Kyokuro Drift Sports, Tengu Drift Club, Wickedwayz Drift Crew, and some oneTEN Drift Network members for bringing out all the scale goodies! It was really cool in my book check out the slideshow below to see for yourself!
Quote by member DDJ, “The track really looks great, even compared to others around the world, especially being a non-permanent track, and the pics really show it too. Also shows we’ve really stepped up our game and have become mad serious”
Hi guys, oneTEN Drift Network has been trying to improve the appearance of its track. Last year our drivers and teams made very big donations to our tracks look by donating over $600 dollars to get Team Tetsujin’s track kerb system. This alone made a huge difference, and we are very happy with the outcome. However the good looking curbs made our wall setup kinda look shotty. So oneTEN had a few funds laying around and the new walls were a must. Rcfc3s, and JustSIDE wayZ from Wickedwayz Drift Crew set to work on making some interlocking walls from wood 2″x3″’s. We shaped them to resemble the concrete rails you see around the freeways. Ours only have one angle cut into them, but I think they represent what you would see around a real track facility pretty well. Rcfc3s, and JustSIDEwayZ had almost had them completed when Kyokuro invited Rcfc3s and JustSIDEwayz down to their home track to do some testing of the new track walls. We just needed to add the final coat of paint to seal them up, but we said ok lets do it. Kyokuro Drift Sports was also testing some new tires from their sponsor “Raikou Drift Tires”. Which as always were performing excellent! Everyone helped setup the track. We got the walls in place, and pinned together. Then the kerbs, and finally which what I think added a lot was Kyokuro’s track props. Tire walls, the fencing, and their van/trailer combo just really brought it all together! Well I guess you don’t have to take my word for it! Kyokuro was filming all day with their new HD camera. What they came out with is one awesome video. Here is the footage!!!

I just want to say what a year!!!! Its been really crazy, we did so many demos @ auto shows this year! It was enough to make your head spin keeping track of what was coming up next! It was also the big year of countersteer drifting! Many of our drivers were learning to drift again… They picked up quick tho, and our newer members made some great progress! We had fantastic support from all of our teams and drivers this year! I want to thank Tengu Drift Club for all their support and help this year! You guys really helped us put on some spectacular shows this year. I know I seen it in the faces of all those people that were watching us! Also as always Kyokuro Drift Sports, Drift Ez, and Wickedwayz DC Thanks for all your support over the years!!! I know we are all just drifting toy cars… but to us its about more than that its about car culture, its friendships, its about doing it for all the right reasons!!!! And I’m gonna rip this off real quick!!! lolz keepdriftingfun guys!!! So anyways to commemorate our past year or so I wanted to do a video mashup from our past videos. Kinda like a quick flash back from some of our different events! I really enjoyed putting this vid together and the music seems to match the feeling I get when I’m out slidi’n with my friends! So with out further adieu here’s the vid enjoy guys! I look forward to another great year!

A few of Wickedwayz team members went to R/C Mania to check it out here is some of their live stream footage recorded from earlier! The reports I am getting back is that it was “sic!!!”
We all had a blast @ Fast Paced Racing! The track layout was awesome with its scale items, and catch fences. Track was very detailed and every thing looked great. The surface was great! It was very slick but provided slides that would just carry! There were 10 of us that went from oneTEN Drift Network. We all piled in 3 cars and screamed road trip! Really we had alot of fun and would like to thank the guys @ F.P.R. for having us down. Here is a little vid edited down by Justsidewayz and 4nspeed. Camera work by Datnis916. Enjoy!
For those of you that are not in the know. FPR is “Fast Paced Racing” Which is a rc shop dedicated to miniz racing, drifting and 1/10th scale drifting. They are located in San Jose, CA. We rounded up ten of our oneTEN Drift Network members to head down for a fun drift session! We have been preparing all week. Getting cars tuned, shells polished, and ready for action. oneTENDrift.Net purchased a web cam to broadcast our events, and sessions to the public LIVE!!!! Check us out on 12-11-2011 between 12pm to 6pm. @ this link. oneTENDrift.net LIVE This should be a blast and we hope you enjoy the feed as much as we enjoy bringing it to you!
What a busy month for us! I just wanted to give you guys a small wrap up to our latest activities!
First stop on our list was a car show @ umigo indoor go Karting in Livermore, CA on Oct, 11th 2011.
There were some very nice cars, and lots of very nice things to catch your eyes all day. It was nice to break out of our shell, and drift it up with our friends in the bay area! Team Tengu, Team Nakamura, Team Dori, and Limited Traction! Sorry if I missed anyone. It was perfect weather and the drifting was a blast. The track was setup by Team Tengu. The track flowed nicely, it had a pretty steep slope which made for some very nice downhill turns. Wickedwayz drift crew and Kyokuro was delivering the full lock drifting all day. The talent in the bay area is no joke tho. The teams out there deliver mad side by side action with incredible smoothness.
Next up: oneTENDrift Network was asked to host an open drift track @ the Norcal Showdown Car Show on Oct 8th 2011.
The car show was huge Cars as far as the eye could see. Ranging from imports, muscle, bikes, you name it! There were several groups of models roming the lot, the music was kickin, The weather was pretty warm the track was tight and technical with some pretty good reaches. The Dynamic duo Jeremy and Jeremy “one of which is me” was showing everyone how its done putting down lap after lap of side by side full lock action! The drifting all around was good tho. We had many outside guys with drifters come drift the track as well. It was good fun had by all!
Then if that wasn’t enough! The next day we had a BBQ kick back, slash drift session @ William Land
Park in Sacramento.
This was a good meeting for oneTENDrift.Net members. We had 13 of our core guys Kickin it, Barbqueing, DJ’n, and gettin our drift on. I can assure you we all had a great time. We took quite a bit of video @ the event. Here is a little quick edit of the footage from the day. Click on this to play video
Thanks to all that came out to the Team LoveHATE / Signs by Tomorrow 1up car show. For everyone else oneTEN Drift Network put on a drift demo and slid all day! It was a ton of fun in the sun. The surface looked bad but slid well. The track man setup a really tight almost down hill togue style track. It flowed with medium sized sweepers.
Today was my first day running Raikou d68 tires. My car had been running on t-drifts quite well. I hammered on the d68’s in the field. Well it was actually like a twist and shout type move that finally got the job done. They were different than what I was used to @ first. After I ran a few laps with the new tires I started understanding the changes in throttle control that was needed. The d68’s kept the tempo of the run slower but the level of control, basically being able to put your car where you want it, was amazing!
Everyones speed was different today. The 50/50 cars did well on t-drifts. They were just much faster than us, cs’ing on the d68’s. For the most part everyone did pretty good at giving everyone enough room. It was nice to have Kyokuro group up. I had a blast sliding with Jan-Mike, Dan, and Nate! The tandems were crazy close and very entertaining.
The 1up Car Show was great! Everyone seemed like they were there to have fun, and the vibe was felt all day. The Dj’s were cranking out the choonz. The models and dancers were doing there thing. Looking hot and taking pictures with all the sic cars in the show! They even stopped by for a photo shoot with our little cars. Which is always welcomed by the oneTEN Drift Network’s drivers!
I am sure we will all get to see a little of the action pretty soon. Neil/MCtrlSys was taking vids all day. I think I seen Kyokuro shooting a little video, and of course their media star, “NastyNate” was snapping away with his DSLR all day. So I am sure we will see a media blitz on this one soon!
The best of all, total f-ing suprise to me Team LoveHATE, and Signs By Tomorrow awarded oneTEN Drift Network “Best Team” in the 1up car Show!
Many thanks to those guys!
And Thanks to all that came out and drifted!

I appeal to all of the wives, husbands, kids and generally the family members of all RC Drifters out there. What better gift to give your favorite drifter than the gift of external combustion! Yes, that’s right, I speak of the limited supply 119 dollar backfire kit that some guy on Facebook is making by hand. Just think how that person’s face will light up (sometime literally) when he sees the flame belching out of the back of his RC. Get them this gift today! This minute! This very second!
Anyway what I am speaking of is a kit that appeared on Facebook not too long ago. I just found this thanks to bonethugfro from our forum. It is a kit that seems to combine the functions of a few relays and a butane cartridge. It only goes off every so often and at random which makes me think there may be a 555 integrated circuit in the mix. This however only happens when the car is in motion which is a plus I wish I had more data on what it is in its entirety but I have not gotten a response from the individual involved yet.
The unit is made in Thailand from the threads I have been able to find on it. It is an awesome device. The flames I viewed in the video on Facebook looked to be about 2-3 inches in length and as I said previously they happen at random which adds to the realism.
For more information (there aint much) visit the Facebook page:
"You brake and then turn the wheel, step on the clutch, and pull the e-brake. Release the e-brake, go into countersteer mode, then wait. Wait until you know the car is facing the corner exit direction. then you smile and slam on the gas as you exit the corner." - Keiichi Tsuchiya
