DriftSTL is dedicated to providing members of the media with the best service and information necessary for optimal coverage of our events. DriftSTL has established a new policy in order to allow all media an equal opportunity to obtain DriftSTL media credentials.

CREDENTIAL REQUIREMENTS:
All persons receiving credentials must complete the form below discharging DriftSTL in addition to Gateway Motorsports Park from any liability for personal injury or property damage sustained while attending a DriftSTL event on the grounds of Gateway Motorsports Park. 

Media credentials/photo vests will be limited to a total of FIVE per event and will be issued to only those individuals who complete the form below. Recognized news/wire services, motorsports publications, national and local television/radio news stations and internet sites that regularly cover motorsports will be given first priority. Remaining credentials will be provided based on a lottery drawing, this allows for all applicants to receive an equal opportunity to obtain credentials.

DriftSTL reserves the right to make all decisions regarding who will be granted credentials and the number of credentials available/issued per event. DriftSTL also reserves the right to revoke the credential and photo vest of any individual at any time.

Photographers are reminded that pre-race photographers meetings are mandatory and failure to appear will result in revocation of credentials or non-issuance of a photo vest at the discretion of DriftSTL. Failure to adhere to working policies and regulations detailed at meetings may result in loss of credentials and or a revocation of rights. 

All credential vest will be handed out during the mandatory driver/media meeting. Failure to attend this meeting will result in the loss of credentials and or a revocation of rights. (You will not be allowed access to the track) There are no exceptions. 

Anyone on track without proper credentials will be removed and will result in the loss of credentials and/or a revocation of rights for the remainder of the 2014 season. 

DRESS CODE: 
While the dress code is casual, we recommend proper attire in the paddock and garage areas. We suggest you avoid wearing bagging clothing, skirts, dresses and open-toed shoes. No open-toed shoes will be allowed on track. 



2014 DRIFTSTL CREDENTIAL AGREEMENT (PHOTO/VIDEO/FILM)

As a condition of the issuance of a media vest, I agree to the following regulations:
I will wear the media vest properly, as my outermost garment.
I will not give the vest to any other person to wear; media vests are non-transferable.
I will stand in a safe position at all times while shooting (photographs/film/video).
I will promptly obey the direction of all track officials.
I understand that motorsports is a dangerous activity.
I have read and agree with the DriftSTL media guidelines.

DriftSTL Media Challenge!! April 23rd @ Family Arena























Whats this you say? Some hubub aboot a challenge? Hmmmm hhhmmmmm.....do tell!

On April the 23rd at the St.Charles Family Arena is the DriftSTL.com Drift Day Round 1. The best (and some not so best) local drivers will hit the track, burn some tires, break some parts and basically kick the shit out of their cars for 10 or 12 hours. This makes for one hell of a show and a pretty dope scenario to aim your lenses at. See, that's where you come in.

DriftSTL.com is offering a limited number of media passes for the day and we have tethered to those passes a little gift for your shooting pleasure... no, not Playboy Bunny's. However, you will get your own full page spread.. of sorts.. in shorts..or pants.. Some article of clothing to cover you while we cover you in an article about your ability to take pictures.

Off course this only happens if you win. You see it is a contest. What we are looking for is a nice photo to become our next event flyer. So, go take some awesome shots of some awesome drivers being awesome in their awesome cars and you just may find your self on a rather poplular blog, which will make  you look pretty cool. You thought I was going to say awesome didn't you.

Moddin Art: Budweiser Super Bowl behind the scenes! Repping some local love

Grinner Hester turned his passion into his paycheck and became the man behind the lens as he created Moddin Art Video/Entertainment. He does a lot of work with many large clients, one of them being a world wide (yet locally based) icon: Budweiser, the King of Beers.

Grinner has shared some clips from his documentary which he shoots every year, for our pre-viewing pleasure. It is a few short clips from his "behind the scenes" of Budweiser's upcoming 2010 Super Bowl commercials. They are pretty awesome and getting to see even these short teasers before the big game is pretty sweet.

I feel all exclusive and junk... XD
