While drifting is but pure fantasy to most, it’s a full time reality for our two Scion Racing drivers: Fredric Aasbo and Ken Gushi. Orlando is typically known to conjure up images of magical kingdoms, the fantasy lands and worlds of tomorrow that kids can only dream of. But when Formula D brought its traveling crew of drifting pros to Orlando Speedworld, the local motorsport community dropped what they were doing so they could see all the drifting madness up close. Watch Ken Gushi Storm the Podium in Orlando in this episode of Driven 2 Drift.

EverythingDrift.com: What got you interested in drifting?
Tyson Beckford: The whole drifting thing started with me just being a kid, having mom’s Toyota and just goin all out years ago. I didn’t have any idea what I was doing at the time, I just loved it. Then watching some of the stunt driving in movies and commercials, not knowing at the time that Rhys Millen (and several of the other drifters) were the ones actually doing that stuff, I really got into it. I started watching Japanese TV and DVD’s, and saw these guys doing crazy things down city streets, going sideways in their cars, and I thought “hey, I want to do that!” I bought a 350Z and hit up my boys who had video cameras, and they started filming me, but then they got into it too. I ended up hooking up with Dele our team manager and he asked me to be on the team. This was in fall of last year. We went to SEMA with Team X, and checked out everything there. After SEMA, I went to Panos race school, took their classes, graduated pretty top in their class, and we decided to start the drift team. We got on it, and next thing you know, this is it.
