…Formula Drift is coming to town?

Formula Drift

With the D1 Grand Prix no longer making its way to the states, Formula Drift has become the number one way to get your drifting fix.

That’s no big loss though, because Formula Drift has become a terrific series of events at premiere racing venues across the country.

Formula Drift Schedule

On April 12, the series kicks off in Long Beach, and then seven events later, concludes at the Irwindale Speedway. Last year, I covered the finals in Irwindale, and from first hand experience, I can definitely say that this are must see events.

Special appearances at the Long Beach event include Rob Dyrdek of “Rob & Big” fame as the Official Grand Marshall of the Formula Drift series, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, and the introduction of the new Miss Formula Drift.

DYH will be there to cover the event for you, so look for an upcoming post with all the details.

…Yesterday was April Fools’ Day?

“You know the rules, and so do I…”

Yesterday was April Fools’ Day, but I feel like it should have just been called Official Rick Roll Day, since so many sites (DYH included) used it as an excuse for a little meme misdirection. (YouTube Rick Rolling anyone and everyone that clicked on a featured video link was a classic!)

However, not all sites went for the easy/obvious gag, and some managed to pull some pretty funny stunts. Below are some of my favorites:

…It’s Music Monday: South By Southwest?

South By Southwest

South by Southwest (AKA SXSW) is an interactive, film, and music festival that takes place every year in Austin, Texas.

Because many of the bands that perform there each year are trying to make it big and break into the scene, they release an official torrent with most of the music from the festival for you to download and enjoy.

This years torrent contained 763 tracks, and played end to end, would be nearly 48 hours of continuous music.

If that sounds like a lot to go through to find what you like, that’s because it is, so Paul Ford decided to listen to them all and give you a kind of cheat sheet for finding the music that you like.

His chart ranks each of the songs on a one to five scale, and gives each a six-word review, making it easy to find the good stuff.

If you’re looking to be on the cutting edge of the music scene, then head on over to the download link and fire up your favorite torrent downloader, because it doesn’t get much rawer than this.

…KITT is a Mustang?

KITT

It’s official: The car that will play KITT in the upcoming Knight Rider series is going to be a Shelby Mustang GT500KR, complete with a wing kit, blackout treatment, and the dancing red grill lights.

It’s subtle, sinister, and sometimes remote controlled, so I’m in love.

…Grand Theft Auto IV has official box art?

Grand Theft Auto IV Cover

To officially reveal the box art for Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar put a bunch of artists in a warehouse and had them create a giant poster of the new cover.

It’s a time lapse that’s shot in HD, so you know that it’s going to be good. (And that it’s going to get posted here.)
