Description:
'Conceived by drivers trying to out-do one another on the mountain passes of Japan, the art of the sideways descent of a switchback - what Wired magazine described as a 'fishtailing ballet of burning rubber'. Drifting has made it to the United States in a big way. What began as teenage daredevil driving has, over two decades, become a sanctioned sport making its way across the Pacific through video games and magazines, anime and the Internet, to take root in California's fertile underground racing culture.'
'Drifting: Sideways from Japan to America tells the story of drifting from its arrival on the West Coast to its emergence as the hottest form of motorsport in the United States. Author and Photographer Antonio Alvendia provides a dramatic visual record of the sport in America, profiling drifting's history, media exposure, teams, events, and techniques that have made drifting the phenomenon it is today.'
The cover shows drifter Chris Forsberg maneuvering his SR20DET-powered Nissan 350Z at Irwindale Speedway in California.
