Many of you may have already learned that Peak Performance Racing has parted ways with our long time sponsor Falken Tires. Recognizing the emergence of Hankook Tires as a world renown brand in performance tires, Peak Performance Racing has teamed up with Hankook Tires to take our Pro Drift team to a new level of competition

Knowing a good thing when we see it, we will also be retaining the services of the devilishly handsom e  long time drifter and all-around great guy, Robbie Nishida (retaining is too loose of a word.. more like enslaving). This year, however, heeding Robbie's requests for "mo' powah", Peak Performance will be building an all new turbocharged Nissan 350Z (Z33) producing somewhere in the neighborhood of 500hp. Cloaked in the traditional but charming Hankook colors, there's no way you won't see Robbie tearing up the track this 2008 season.

Building upon our belief that we know a good thing when we see it, we've also retained the talents of the boyishly cute upcoming drifter, Joon Maeng. Joon was last seen at the D1 World Finals in 2007 drifting the back-up Peak Performance 240SX S14 to a top 8 finish. This year, Joon's Nissan 240SX S14 has been rebuilt with a new configuration and fresh SR20DET all ready to take whatever he can give. Join us in welcoming Joon to our team.

Stay tuned for further developments.. until then, take a peek at these "spy pictures":

We had an idea.. if one brake caliper can stop the rotor faster, why not install two? just kidding, don't head off to the junk yard to look for another Z32 caliper now..
