Right before Christmas for the last few years I’ve had the opportunity to MC Formula Drift Malaysia, this year is no different…
So off to Malaysia I and some other Formula Drift characters hit the road…
Andy Yen & I arriving to a wet Kuala Lumpur
About an hour from the airport to the main city of KL, seeing some old school houses…
But no means is this the norm in KL…
Taxi sir..
BTW, I fit and carried on everything I needed from Thurs midday to Monday afternoon in THIS Incipio Weekender bag incl:
2 pairs of pants, 2 pairs of shorts, 7 t-shirts, 5 collared shirts, underwear, socks, toiletries, one pair of shoes, chargers, iPad, headphones, magazines, iPod & that’s for real!
INCIPIO WEEKENDER BAG can be seen HERE
3 days of set up, then qualifying on Saturday and “Game Day” on Sunday…
Ryan Sage, Co-Founder & I swung out to grab some sights and grub…
Prosperity Meal bro…
You are here, I was there…
That’s some nice literal tagging, I like Fixed huh?! Cool!
Then maybe another literal tag, The Freaks…

Lil car parade action…
If you know Ryan, you will know how hillarious this pic is! It’s ALL TIME!
The PTT lubricnats team of Thailand is like a Man Band…
I’m not mad at this car, the graphics matching the wheels etc. Not a fan of the red & blues though…

Great write up Jarod.
Wow Jarod! Looked like a great trip. Malaysia seems to be so colorful and warm. The background in your photos was dope. Track looked small though. Those clubs looked more like a country club then a bar, cool decor for sure. If you need a bag carrier I’m available for the next trip! hahaha.
very proud to my country up in here…
