Drifting the NASCAR Mustang

NASCAR’s Joey Logano drifts a NASCAR Mustang with Vaughn Gittin Jr.

Joey Logano drifts the new NASCAR Mustang in tandem with World Champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. – it was exciting to see two different motorsport worlds come together at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Specialty Field Productions had me Direct Photography along side Director Matt Johnston for this fun video. Joey Logano did fantastic drifting a Cup car – which because of their high amounts of grip and limited steering angle would be a real challenge to continuously drift. Luckily my friend and Formula Drift Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr was there to make sure he had someone to tandem with all day.

Director: Jeff Zwart My Role: Camera Operator

Following the success of the first Red Bull F1 American road trip video – the 2nd part features the cities of Miami, Florida and crossing Independence Pass outside of Aspen, Colorado. Director Jeff Zwart brought me on to camera operate and its super cool to see my shots end up in the final video.

Mobil 1 – Jeff Zwart PPIHC

Mobil 1 – Jeff Zwart PPIHC protecting history

Mobil 1’s Protecting History video series – features Racer/Film Director Jeff Zwart and his history at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

This video project was personal for me because I’ve documented Jeff’s efforts at Pikes Peak over the last 8 years. It allowed me to share some of the footage I’ve gathered during those races as well as filming Jeff as a mentor/instructor to the Porsche Cayman GT4 drivers at the 2018 running of the hill climb.

Larry Chen and I take a Supercharged Porsche on Ice

Larry Chen is invited to Wisconsin to slide a crazy Safari Porsche on a frozen lake

Larry Chen invited me to Wisconsin to shoot a Porsche that he had driven at the 2017 SEMA show. Little did he mention that it would be valued at over 300k+ dollars and be making loads of power via the craziest supercharger I’ve ever heard. Needless to say, sliding the Kelly Moss Road and Race Safari 4 on a frozen lake was a great way to start 2018. The Porsche was easy to drive and slide sideways across the varied surface of ice and blown snow. We each got a few short sessions in the car and each time Larry and I were able to get longer and more consistent slides down. Thanks to Vicci Auctions and Kelly Moss Road and Race for inviting us to drive their special creation in Wisconsin.

Hoonigan Daily Transmission features Keep Drifting Fun

Keep Drifting Fun’s Will and Josh visit Hoonigan to talk our Origin Story

Joshua Herron and I were recently featured on an episode of Hoonigan‘s Daily Transmission. Where we spoke about the origins of our documentary project Keep Drifting Fun. It was an excellent opportunity to reflect on previous video projects since 2008 and look ahead to new possibilities in the future. Watch the episode for more of an in-depth look into the film.

Jeff Zwart – Porsche 356 fun

Jeff Zwart has fun in his 1953 Porsche 356 Pre-A

It’s all smiles when Jeff Zwart gets to throw around his Porsche 356 Pre-A.

On the same shoot day that we captured the Carrera 4 Rally Car in action – Jeff brought out his 1953 Porsche 356 that we filmed in the Porsche from the Winter of 53. It was fun to see the little car in action again – this time on the gravel. Directed/Edited by Will Roegge, Camera Operation by Brandon Kado, Will Roegge, and Alex Tabaczka.

Personal Project – Back to Big Sky with Jeff Zwart

Back to Big Sky with Jeff Zwart

This short film wouldn’t have been possible without Jeff Zwart’s enthusiasm for driving and willingness to rip them on gravel roads.

It also wouldn’t have been possible without my friends Brandon Kado and Alex Tabazcka – who joined me in camera operating for this shoot.

Finally, having Alex Bernstein, Larry Chen, and Louis Yio on set to photograph the action too was the icing on the cake – plus it made for a good crew to go get Mexican food with after we wrapped filming for the day.

It was really cool to be able to tell Jeff Zwart’s 1990 Porsche Carrera 4 Rally story. Most people aren’t able to hang onto their first cars or race cars – as they continue to grow in their careers. However, Jeff was and he is the only owner of his very special Carrera 4 rally car. The Carrera 4 is significant to Jeff’s racing career because it brought him his first class victory at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb and a 2nd place overall finish in the US Pro Rally Championship. 25 years later he is still able to slide it and drive it as it was intended to be driven at Big Sky Movie Ranch.

Check out Larry and Louis’ Behind the Scenes and action photos from that day.

Hoonigan – Ken Block’s Climbkhana

Ken Block’s Gymkhana – Pikes Peak

Two of my favorite things combined. Like Peanut Butter and Chocolate – Gymkhana and Pikes Peak.

Ken Block and his now methanol fueled twin-turbo Hoonicorn Mustang tackle the 14,410 toll road up Pikes Peak.

Was fortunate enough to be a part of the project as a camera operator and drone pilot. Climbkhana was a serious endeavor and the mountain gave us some real challenges – resulting in three trips back to Colorado to capture all of the footage necessary to make the end film. Was a great time to work with Jeff Zwart, who I’ve filmed many times at Pikes Peak racing and my friends at Hoonigan on this one!
