Riding With Street Racers, I bumped into Mike today, on my way home. He happened to be driving pass. I jumped into his car. He talked about how he hasn’t had a day off, for ages. I told him my new theory of why he took that ring, the same reason we all do badContinue reading “Street Racing: New Lead”

Street Racing: Addicted to the Experience.
RWHKSR: I know I said I never wanted to hang out with them again, which I now am quite sure is a lie. I know that’s how many of them feel about each other at different times too. Too many intense, individual people, who want to be in control in the same place competing againstContinue reading “Street Racing: Addicted to the Experience.”
Street Racing: Slowly Revving Up Again
RWHKSR I approached Fai tonight because I needed to go out and take some photographs for an article I might or might not be writing about the racers and documentary. I felt very awkward, as I have been avoiding them for a bit now. But I admit lately, I have made more of an effort,Continue reading “Street Racing: Slowly Revving Up Again”
Afternoon Pocari Sweat Tasting
Hong Kong The Street Racers sometime drink this thing called “Pocari Sweat.” It’s watered down salt water, kinda. The only time I have managed to finish one was, while on my way back to HK after travelling 40 something hours from LA to New York To Tokyo, (okay with a bit of a party stopContinue reading “Afternoon Pocari Sweat Tasting”
RWHKSR: Fractional Small Things That Make A Journey Home Safe
Riding With Hong Kong Street Racers This weekend is the grand prix in Macau, which means I have known the street racers for a year now.

I had not seen Ah Lai for months, with the exception of tonight, not sinceContinue reading “RWHKSR: Fractional Small Things That Make A Journey Home Safe”
RWHKSR: Forgetting What I Know, No One Else Does.
Riding With Hong Kong Street Racers Since I re-acquainted myself with a group of people in the last few weeks due to Harbour Fest. I have had to field a batch of questions about the street racing documentary, “How is it going?” “Are you doing this?” “How Fast do they Race?” and as I speakContinue reading “RWHKSR: Forgetting What I Know, No One Else Does.”
Five Year Old in the Back Seat: No Seat Belt
Riding With Hong Kong Street Racers Another Racer died yesterday in the news. I did grab the photo to see I recognized the car. I was relieved I didn’t. When I saw that, and found out the driver was safe but his girlfriend in the front seat was killed. It’s confronting the fact, in orderContinue reading “Five Year Old in the Back Seat: No Seat Belt”
The Never Ending Cycle
Riding With Hong Kong Street Racers I saw Candy and Fai, there was a new crowd hanging out. People I never seen before. They looked happy, one guy was sitting there reading a car racing mag on the blue chair. Two were talking to Fai, their cars parked outside. Not very modified yet. No doubtContinue reading “The Never Ending Cycle”
Street Racers: Portrait One. Alex
Riding With Hong Kong Street Racers This morning when I walked passed, I saw him and he saw me, and we both looked the other way. His existence makes three minutes of every day suck-on-the-back-of-tongue gross as there is about 50 meters between my place, to the shops or market to the bus that weContinue reading “Street Racers: Portrait One. Alex”
Oh a Dark, Embarrassing Hour of My Home City.
Glutter’s Hong Kong Riding With Hong Kong Street Racers I am adding this because I mentioned this on the Riding with Hong Kong Street Racers, and it’s something I would like to mention. A year ago, a very famous Hong Kong star’s nude photos were published in a trashy magazine. It was the darkest, mostContinue reading “Oh a Dark, Embarrassing Hour of My Home City.”
