Two P-51 Mustangs approach the southern end of Runway 18/36 for what appeared to be a formation landing when the propeller of one Mustang caught the tail of the other, flipping it onto its nose. The aircraft in the rear tried to pull around the crashed aircraft and flipped over in the process. The pilot of the P-51 that ended up on its nose was able to walk away from the crash, the pilot of the green and silver P-51 was killed. (AirVenture 2007)

A U.S. Coast Guard HH-65A Dolphin search and rescue helicopter sits crashed in the surf after a rescue operation near Eureka, Calif., around 1 p.m. on Saturday, February 11, 2006. Two people from a small sport fishing boat died and two survived after it capsized in ocean surf. The helicopter was hovering low to rescue them when it crashed into the water for unknown reasons. The three crew aboard apparently received only scratches.

Mike Haviland is a man just like you and me. He puts his pants on one leg at a time, but when he puts his pants on, he can be satisfied with the knowledge that he has created greatness in the form of a B Mod Honda Z600. To call the car a Z600 is to miss the point, as this car is really a complete one-off with a shell that happens to resemble a Z600. 1195lbs, 168hp in place of the armrest and enough rubber for a weekend at the mansion. This car absolutely rocks.
The car started life with the goal of being a turbocharged D Mod car, but rules changes ended up making the car ineligible because it has a motorcycle engine. Under the skin is a formula SAE inspired setup with bellcranks and laydown shocks and springs. Interestingly, with the engine where a passenger would normally be, the side-to-side weight difference with the driver is only 7 pounds.
The concept is somewhat similar to the Kimini which was an inspiration for the build, but with a pure focus on the track. If in some alternate reality the world was a giant parking lot with cones scattered all around it, this would basically be the ideal machine.
(go to youtube and search honda 600 w/1300 hyabusa)

While looking for information on the Prodrift series a few days ago, I came across this hybrid car. I have heard a lot about the LS2 engine and people wanting to put into their car, seems like there are many advantages to running a big torque engine...... Personally, I'm not very familiar with the LS2 engine or any other engine derived from it..... All I know is that this engine came out of a Vauxhall Monaro (Vauxhall is part of the GM group and is also called a Opel in other countries) and the car was build in Ireland by Chubby McCord from Hi Octane Imports. But first things first, the car itself, let's have a look:

The standard SR20 leaves plenty of space in the engine bay of a S15. How different does it look now? As you can see, the engine has got some help from eight throttle bodies to help it breath better; I wonder how this animal sounds like when it passes you on full throttle. You American guys should know the sound, but for us Europeans it's still something special, hearing a V8.

I'm always amazed by the graphics that the Irish lads put on their cars. Everybody knows the graphics made by Mana-P on the D1 cars but I really feel that the graphics found on the cars in the Prodrift Series can hold their own. The color of the car works very well with the flashy yellow and pink graphics.
From the rear it looks even more impressive with the huge spoiler. You can also see some pink shining through the paintjob. Very well executed.

The new Work XD9 rims are finding their way on cars in every kind of sport, from Time Attack to full on drift cars. These white ones feature a cool yellow thin line to give it something special. Behind the wheels I see some K-sport calipers and rotors.

The bodykit Is made by BN-Sports and you can find it on almost every S15 out there, but then again it is also one of the best looking si why not...... You can see that the wheels really struggle to get from under the wide rear arches.

The fully stripped interior painted in contrasting blue has a pair of Sparco bucket seats, flocked dashboard (it stops the sun from blinding you), Sparco steering wheel and a built rollcage. The signature green harnesses are off course from Takata. The dashboard also has a custom made display to show the driver all the vitals on one screen.

Is this the way forward in building driftcars? I have heard a lot of rumors from different car builders in Europe that they will go for the ‘cheaper' American engines rather than a RB or a SR engine. What do you think?
