2025 US Grand Prix

CJ

Hey strangers, it’s been a minute.

Coming off the heels of the Mexican Grand Prix, I’ve just got done going through all my photos from a day trip to Austin to catch Free Practice and the Sprint Qualifying while checking out Hamilton’s Plus Forty-Four pop-up shop in town. I’m reminded why I like Circuit of the Americas as a venue as the atmosphere is always awesome, the staff is super friendly and lax when it comes to camera equipment, and even FP sessions offer excitement seeing the cars take the course in anger.

Coffee and Rice at Catalina (with CJ)

ryan

Catalina Coffee has been host to a Sunday morning Coffee and Cars type meet for as long as I can remember. As a nod to the demographic who generally attends, it’s affectionately redubbed as Coffee and Rice. I personally had never attended before, being that it requires one to wake up early on a weekend, but CJ is a regular attendee and when one of your brothers presents an opportunity to meet up you take it.

River City Drift: Remember CLTX 2025

ryan

I miss drifting! I shot the GGP event about 4 years back (geez we’ve been lazy) and none of us have attended anything else since. In the meanwhile I’ve been torturing myself with FOMO through a surprising amount of drifting podcasts (shout out Goodest Cast, Pile Up Podcast and After-Hours with Faction!). I had to get back out there in some capacity, and that’s when I found River City Drift. Not being from San Antonio, that name was new to me. But Club Loose Texas? I remember the Club Loose Texas. (That was supposed to be an Alamo joke, but it probably didn’t work and I’m sorry.)

After 86 Day Meet (Hosted by Mayday Garage)

ryan

Almost 13 years to this day I had bought my first new car when I picked up a Raven Black 2013 Scion FR-S from a dealership in Galveston, TX. I had just gotten back to Texas after a 3 year stay on Guam, and I had been playing with the FT86 Prototype on Gran Turismo 5 for a better part of the last year of it. There was not a doubt in my mind that this sleek RWD sport compact had to be a part of my life as soon as I touched down. I never would have imagined how big that part of my life the 86 was going to take up.

Lone Star Drift 2021: One Last GGP Post

ryan

It’s been almost 4 years to the day that I had last been to Gulf Greyhound Park. GGP had become such a given presence on this page that I didn’t even bother uploading that 2017 Photo Set here directly. If you go back through the 8ish years of my motorsports coverage for Strange Rhythms you’ll find that the majority of drift events are at GGP Sportsland by large. We even have to give our beloved 3rd gear parking lot a cute nickname to deflect some of its mundanity. However, ladies and gentleman, we’ve reached the end of an era. In regards to drifting, motorcycle safety courses or just being a big ass parking lot used for everything but that, Gulf Greyhound Park will be making no more appearances here as they finally shut their doors.
