<div class="MsoNormal">
Dear Jmuag Production friends,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My name is David. For
those who don’t know me, we may have crossed paths during MAP’s Proving Grounds
and other local events or you even read some of the articles I have written. Well, pretty much I’m the guy who has been writing
and covering some events for JMP the last couple of years. I
thought I’ll take a moment to tell you a little bit about myself and my time
with JMP.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With my love for Japanese import cars and my love for
anything dealing with art (poetry, photography, graffiti, etc…); JMP gave me a
great opportunity to put most of my interests together. I had the chance to take a lot of photos of
local events and met a lot of good people in the process. I have always been into photography since
high school, but didn’t really learn the craft until I joined up with JMP. It’s still a learning process, but the thing I
learned the most during my time at JMP is to appreciate the craft. Photography became another tool that I learned
to use to express myself. It became an
easier outlet showing people my view of anything automotive; from the way how I
saw at an engine bay to the early morning sunlight glowing around a gutted
track-ready EVO. It was these visions I
wanted to share to the world and after it was all said and done, I got to paint
a picture with words. Something about
cars has always been poetic-like to me, so switching from writing poems about
life to writing a JMP feature about someone’s journey of finding themselves in
a car build had always come easy to me.
I started writing poems and short stories since I was a kid and mixing
that with my obsession about cars just made sense to me. My writing was probably the best and only
thing really worth mentioning that I contributed to JMP.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is for sure not a “goodbye forever” kind of thing
because I’ll still be around taking photos and writing. But I’m sad to say that it will no longer be
under JMP. Neng has decided to part ways
with JMP and I wouldn’t feel right in continuing the brand without him since he
was the driving force behind everything.
This is something we’ve talked about and agreed upon. But you never know, maybe one day we might
come back in the future to do small feature or something. Nothing is really forever, so for now, this
is it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First and foremost I would like to say thank-you to
Neng. If it wasn’t for you, I’ll still
be messing with some point-and-shoot camera trying to act like I know what I’m
doing. You gave me a platform to let me
express exactly how I feel and share my art.
When I joined up with you, I didn’t think you would become such a great
friend and you became exactly that. Our
times bullshitting over cars and pictures is something I’ll cherish and like I told
you, if any time you decide to just want to shoot for fun, I’m there to help
put it together. I know we’ll continue
our friendship outside of JMP, but I just want to say thank-you for everything
you have done for me and for JMP.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To everyone, I would like to also say thank-you. Thank you for all the kind words and the
support over the years. All the covers,
features, and photoshoots we ever did were for all you guys and gals. To everyone I met through JMP, rather it was
for a shoot or during an event, most of ya’ are friends by now, but I just like
to say “I’ll see ya’ around”. If you
liked my writing style or my photography and still want to follow me, I am now
writing for mwexclusive.com and I’ve always been posting photos at vulocity.tumblr.com<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jmuag Production. It
was a great and awesome ride. I learned
a lot from Neng, got inspired by everybody, met a ton of people, and I hope to
continue on with that…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Sorry to keep you waiting. Its been a while- but a few changes coming. In the main time, enjoy this awesome shoot we wrapped up a few weeks ago. Thanks to Steve from Team Brooklyn for his time and this rare Datsun 510. It's 10x better in real life folks! Also special thanks to the ever fabulous Peria for being the perfect model. I don't think anyone could have pulled this off as well as she did. <br />

This past weekend I attended one of <a href="http://clubfr.net/" target="_blank">Club FR's</a> drift event, Drift Day 47, located in Shawano Wisconsin. I want to give a special thanks to the Club FR crew for running a well organized and fun event. Besides the awesome track, the instructors there were very hopeful as well.<br>
<br>
Drift-wise, I learned a great deal. By lunch I was able to pass their novice practice setup located in the parking lot and moved on to the more challenging racing course, which kicked my ass all day. But overall I had fun and awesome experience- hopefully I can make it to another one by the end of this summer....but damn, I just sold the car today! Time for some sedan clutch kicking! Now enjoy these kick ass photos by a good friend of mine, Montana Strait. Also make sure you check out <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StraitupD" target="_blank">Straitup D</a> for some awesome custom vinyls.<br>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Back in 2001 being a 15 year old kid from Minnesota into
the Honda Drag Racing scene; I didn’t really have much to go on then reading a
Super Street issue about the events out in sunny California. I remember I use sit and think about how it
would had been to see Ed Bergenholtz CRX running 9’s for the first time or seeing
Stephan Papadaskis’s H22 powered tube-framed civic. As a kid, they were more like dreams being
read through magazine pages. Thinking
about if I still felt the same way today as I did back then, I can honestly say
the excitement is definitely still burning strong. I could
never have foreseen the progression of the Honda drag racing scene to what it has
come to be known today, since it always felt that in MN we were always a couple
of years behind. I have always saw that
the “cool” events to attend were always out on the westcoast or eastcoast and
being a teenager with no transportation (but the yellow shuttle aka schoolbus),
I could only dream of going.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Times changed a lot since then and this past weekend
I got to attend one of the biggest gatherings of Hondas in the United States
being held in Atco, New Jersey. Honda
Day!!! It was easily one of the greatest
events I have ever been to as a Honda fan.
Everywhere was a Honda….lowered Hondas…JDM Hondas…and many many quick
Hondas. This was the event where all the
heavy hitters like SpeedFactory and Prayoonto came out to play. I’m not even going to lie, I had butterflies
seeing all these drag cars that I have only seen stream across my computer
screen. It was one of those moments
where you really just had to stop what you were doing and soaked everything up because
you weren’t sure when will the next time you’ll be able to attend another event
like this. So, I had to make the most of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Starting from the show car area, I could clearly see
a trend going on. There was a lot of
replica rims, but those that carried the legit ones, I had to take a moment to
appreciate them. I’m not trying to hate
on the reps, but seeing 10 sets of XXRs and a handful of Rotas, you just have
to pick and choose the ones that really stood out. Overall, all the cars looked awesome and
everyone seemed to be having a great time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

seen in my life. It looked as though
someone took me back to 92 and rolled it out from the assembly line just for
me. It was really a treat to see
something so simple and clean, yet received so much attention. There was a constant crowd around the car and
I </span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">couldn't</span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> get the shots I wanted, but it would not have matter much because
pictures could not have truly revealed its beauty and rarity. I felt that only an event like Honda Day, can
a car like this could truly be appreciated.
I’m sure everyone who was in its presence knows exactly what I mean. So, I applaud to the owner for bringing this
rare gem out.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Drag racing…oh, how I love you! I was hypnotized the first time I laid my
eyes on SpeedFactory’s cars. I literally
felt like I was in Jr. High looking at a girl I had a crush on. My heart started beating fast, palms sweaty,
and all I could do was drool and point “dude…that’s the quickest Hondas”. Seeing all these cars that I’ve wallpapered on
my laptop in reality was an experience that had to be the closest thing I felt
to love (lol). The Honda fanboy in me came
out in full force and I couldn’t get enough of it. I almost forgot I had to take photos, but I
did my best to look through the lens as well as admiring all the racecars. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I wasn’t use to sitting in the stands at events
since I’m usually close to the action snapping away photos, but since I was
just a general attendee like everyone else, I got to enjoy some racing. Besides YouTube videos, I have never seen an
8second pass or the high caliber all-motor Hondas, so when I got to see
SpeedFactory’s Outlaw Civic first passes hitting an 8.1et, I was breathless.
“Wow…did they just really run 8s right out of the gate? Incredible!” was just
some of the many thoughts that were circling my mind watching all these races. Of course the first couple of groups that
went was doing 14s and slower, but as the morning progress every class kept
getting faster and faster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have always enjoyed a nice long stroll in the pits
because it gives me a more personal attachment to all the teams and cars. Seeing teams working on last minute preparations
or just lounging around, reminds me that these guys are just like you and me; guys
who simply just love this sport and do it because it’s life. It doesn’t need to get any more complicated
than that. I guess when you include
sponsors and money, things can get harder for some, but I could sense a
different aura from the professionals and regular joes. It wasn’t the big double level trailers to
the one truck pulling a flat-bed, but it was in everything. It was how the team carried themselves right
down to how the car performed on the track.
It gave me a better sense of the different type of levels in this sport.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I couldn’t really hide the fact how excited I was at
watching all the races. Lost in a world
filled with fast cars and a great environment, I could truly understand what
made Honda Day such a great and successful event. It might be the Honda fanboy in me, but I don’t
even care because I love the event and hope I can attend more in the future. I just want to thank Honda Day for putting
such a great event for us Honda fans and I hope to many many more events.</span></div>

After a long harsh winter that seemed like it would never end, I'm happy to report it's finally over. Last weekend I attended Club Loose's Opening Moves in Englishtown, New Jersey. Club Loose has been around for over 10 years now and their events keep growing in popularity. I have seen many pictures and videos of this track so I thought I knew what to expect...I was wrong. The track is filled with a combination of slow and fast turns, elevation changes, a banked wall, and it can be run in multiple configurations. After seeing it in person I am not surprised why the locals call it "the best place on earth." <br />

Feels weird posting this, feels like I've been away so far and long, mentally at least. I'll explain it shortly.<br />
<br />
Well, not sure where I should start, but I guess we can just knock the list as suggested by the blog title respectfully. Winter, it's a bitch! But it's allowed me to do a few things I've put in the back burner, such as finishing my RC (still not done) and finish building my PC- and of course lots of time to RNR on photography/videography techniques. But in the midst of all that, I started to become more interested in cutting edge technology, specifically in the software side. And thanks to my new Android phone, suddenly I want to be a software developer. I even picked up a "how to" book and CD tutor. Currently I'm working on a cool App idea, hopefully within a year or two I can release it. It's gonna be epic, I promise,<br />
<br />
Also, I have to confess something...the journalism in me has also brought another goal of mine into life- I've started a new blog. Yes, it's true, but no worries it's not about cars or photography, instead it's expansion of another hobby of mine which is video gaming. To check it out, <a href="http://gamersrepost.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">please click</a>. <br />
<br />
Lastly, I know you are here for some cool photos, so enjoy: <br />

Unfortunately, around my neck of the woods, this year's color changing isn't happening fast enough. With fear that fall just might skip us, we decided to shoot "early". Enjoy our latest photo session with our every own crew member and blog contributor, Rio, and his sick looking drift machine. <div>

<div>
*Notice the heavy fall-like color filter, this was done deliberately as insurance that we didn't miss out on a fall shoot. LOL.</div>

Taking the advise of a few people, I finally tried some road driving lessons. Desperate to find something before the season ends, I did some scoping on FaceBook and came across this interesting event. Apparently its been around for quite some time now, but unbenounced to fanboys like me. </div>

The objective to this event is to learn how to properly drive with a bit of racing techniques. About 5 cars are allowed to run all at once, but no passing or speeding past 55 MPH. The drivers are divided into groups and running separate sessions. Each driver is teamed with a dedicated instructor who will ride along throughout your day, which is a great feature in that they have the opportunity to see your progress. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Although I'm greatly appreciated of my instructor and his advises, I'd have to say the best part of the event is the last two hours. Track is open and you are allow to run solo along with other drivers. It was an awesome experience, racing and through the open course at night with driver ahead and beyond. I'd have to find some better tires and go back. </div>

Looking at the weather forecast for Proving Grounds may have scared many people off, but not me. I have been waiting all year long to attend and I was determined, rain or shine that I will be at Brainerd International Raceway for a whole weekend of racing and drifting. Laying in bed all night in a half flooded room, rain pouring outside, branches all over the streets and half of the neighborhood with their power out from the storm; I stepped outside with zero sleep heading towards Brainerd, MN. It wasn't the most ideal start of the day, but it was a start. Arriving later then I attended to; as I stepped outside I could almost smell the race fuel in the air and slightly inhaling some tire smoke; taking a deep breath...I have arrived.<br />

Like a little kid I couldn't decide what to see first; the drag racing? drifting? or go over to the road course? with all the options running through my head I had to go see some familiar faces over at the drag races. It looked like some low ETs were in store by the way a lot of the cars were set up and rumor was going around that Alex Pagan of Humble Performance was helping out local race team "AMK" with their all-motor EG civic. With news like that I couldn't wait for run downs to happen especially with "Team Brooklyn" 10sec civic hatch owned by Kou Lee (October 9, 2011 Brooklyn's Finest) on the prowl for a single digit ET. Only exciting things could happen with this many heavy hitters on the strip.</div>

While walking around Saturday I started feeling like a zombie with the zero sleep I had. I didn't realized how it effected me until I sat down and felt light headed and dehydrated. Thinking to myself if I should continue on or do the smart and responsible thing. So, I decided to be smart and drink a couple bottles of water and attempt to sleep for at least a hour. After waking up from my hour long nap I felt a whole lot better. Now, with some food in me, I was ready to go out again and explore the grounds. I went back to watch some more drag racing before heading over to check out some drifting action. I always get a little giddy when I see some tire smoke and bunch of cars attempting to get sideways. There was a handful of talented drivers and hope to see more throughout the year.</div>

As the day progressed I decided to head over to the road course area where I rarely get to watch because lets face it, it's no fun to watch if you're not driving. Since I knew some friends who were running the track I thought I'll go see how they were doing. Seeing some impressive track cars made me want to go have a session in Gran Turismo 5, but that's another story on it's own. As I was starting to wrap my day up by swinging back at the drag pits I heard Team Brooklyn's civic was on the lift having it's transmission rebuilt on location the second time that day. It sure was a sight to see a group of guys pitching in and helping out for the same goal. Leaping over hurdles, the team finished the assembly of the transmission and back on the mission of hitting 9s they went.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year I didn't sit and watch the burn-out competition, but did see and smell the burning tires that filled the sky. The echo of tires popping and engine breaking echoed throughout the thick summer air following with a big roar of cheers. It was a sight to see where I was sitting, but that 1 hour sleep could only help for so long until I just needed to sit down for a bit away from the crowds getting ready for the night at Proving Grounds. If anyone has ever camped at a Proving Ground event before then they know exactly what I'm talking about.</div>

Sunday started off with a down pour that seemed like it wasn't going to let up. There was a moment when I woke up and saw the rain coming down that I thought, maybe it's a good time to call it quits and go back home, but something inside me told me to tough it out and I thought to myself "fuck it...I do have a poncho, if i need to wear it, I will". The only event I knew that for sure will go on rain or shine would be some clutch kicking action. Slowly the sky started clearing up and next thing you know, Sunday became a great day for racing.</div>

Watching youtube clips of 10seconds all-motor civics is one thing, but seeing one in real life is crazy. It was truly a sight to see especially for the Honda fans like myself. Even though nothing in the all-motor class was going to touch the AMK civic (10.39 @129), I couldn't forget to mention about Cory Gimsrud Nissan Sentra SE-R. The stroked SR20VE was blasting a 11.60et, even with the fact he was down on a bit of power.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Because of the morning rain, it seemed to bring down the count of drag racers as they may have gone home. The AWD class seem to be filled with cars from the group NFected. At least that's what it looked like from the amount of NF vinyl I saw on Subarus. After two transmission tear downs on Saturday, Team Brooklyn's Civic did not break into the 9sec barrier due to some minor issues, BUT the car is very capable of that feat and was only thousandths of a second away of tearing into the single second barrier with a 10.0xxEts. Even though they did not get the time slip they were seeking, Team Brooklyn did achieve the trophy in the Real Street Unlimited Class which was a very competitive class. A honorable mention has to go to Team Ballistic's RHD civic for having some fuel injector issues and still hitting a personal best of 10.7Et. There was many many other quick hondas that I didn't get any names, but hopefully I can justify them with fotos. <br />

The Drifting competition ended up being with Eric Moen (S13.4 sohc KA24.T aka SlideZilla) and Adam Montante (Toyota V8 powered onevia) going at it. But there can only be one winner with Moen taking the trophy home with his Slidezilla monster. Something I feel like I have to fess up was that there was a white S13 that I was obsessing throughout the weekend...just because I have a super soft spot for S13s, but it almost brought me into tears when I witnessed the s13 hitting a wall. Though the driver was okay, I can't say much about the car itself, but I imagine it would be back to drift another day. Everyone was looking great throughout the weekend drifting their asses off. SHOUT OUT TO THE EPDC CREW!!<br />
<br />
Proving Ground has never failed to amaze me; each year it gets better and better. The weather may have scare some to attend, but I have learned that it doesn't matter. If you think you're about this car life then you should just come and enjoy a weekend full of racing and a night of great company. This is the first year that Modern Automotive Performance is having two PG in a year, so I don't have to wait another year to do it over again. If you couldn't make it to part 1 of Proving Ground with whatever excuse you may have and still want to; you should most definitely come to part 2 in September. I would like to finish this entry with a big thanks to Dan of MAP with the media passes and of course Modern Automotive Performance for putting on another successful event. Also a shout out to the group of friends I camped with (when I was little), Team Brooklyn for showing JMP love and just to everyone I met throughout the weekend and that has always supported us at JMP with what we do. thanks!! See you guys at the next event</div>

Session 2 was educational, but tiresome as hell- starting with an early morning drive at 5am that lasted for about 3 hours. Well worth it, I learned a great deal about driving and flaws with my current setup (thanks, Jordan). Highlight of the day would be a ride-along with Jordan- I'm even more inspired now.<br />

Good
to see everyone again, keep the scene fun and safe Minnesota. </span></div>

One of the coolest guy I've met way back in my days when I first got hooked into this hobby. Not only was he a cool ass dude, but one hella driver too. In the three years that I got to know Eric, this car AKA Zilla has been through so many awesome changes, and with every change it just keeps getting better and more legit. Although we didn't get to see too much of him in 2012, 2013 promise to deliver with lots of exhibition and competition drift events to come. To help Zilla ready from all the abuse and demand, there's been a major work done to the body thanks to the one and only Patience Metal Fabrication.I can't wait to see this beast on the track. Congrats Eric! <br />
<br />
*Stay tune folks, 2013 is going to be an incredible year for the drifting community. Go hard and good luck to all the drivers out there (including me, maybe LOL).<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span><span style="font-size: large;">ts been a while since JMP got off our lazy butts and put in work, but we were very stoked to have work with Bruce and his super rare EK. We needed a killer car and someone who isn't shy to work with. Besides getting kicked out by a worthless mall cop from a public parking ramp, we were quite happy with some of the results we got back. For now, enjoy the photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span><span style="font-size: large;">here's something truly magical about nighttime and photography. If done right, night photos are so damn sexy! However, it's quite tricky and takes a bit of practice (we're still practicing). </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Even with all the advances in camera technology, the night is one element that you just can't rely on the presetting mode...will maybe to "night mode" but even that is not very pleasing. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The idea of using flash and artificial lighting is not we're trying to achieve tonight- nor is it appropriate for our subject matter. Naturally the night brings out the most vibrant colors, mood, and excellent point of focus- all of which we want to convey in this shoot.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">End of the season for cars in Minnesota, at least for some of us. Although this was officially not a car event, you just can't avoid attending a HID event with the cars themselves. Thanks to all those who came out, and to those who missed out, your loss. Free food, drinks, awesome weather, and old friends- anything better than this would be an actual race event. Special thanks to Vang at HID Lighting & Accessories for a well organized and successful event. Also, congrats on another successful year buddy! </span></div>
