Greetings loyal subjects. You may have been wondering where the Duke has been lately. Well, he has been off adventuring with some companions of his that he met at the University. Quite a silly lot, not content to sit at a desk and perform calculations like good engineers, they venture into the shop, and out into the mud, to burn and maim themselves with machinery in the pursuit of glorious trophies. The SAE Baja series is a student team competition to build a small off road vehicle which is brought into battle against other universities. The Duke has kindly provided a...

Capital drift has been around for 6 years now. Since 2008 drifting has been organized in Victoria. Many people, and I mean many people have come and gone. Passed through the speedway during our events, in some cases, very selfishly. There is one person who has never left us, he's been here since Capital Drift began.

I'm not going to sit in the house, that was yesterday. Up onto your pedestal, you'll only be able to fall from here. I did this today, I fell, as I found the most motivating insult I've ever seen.
