Jason Webb NonStopTuning Ford Mustang | 2026 Formula Drift Atlanta Event Recap | PODIUM!

Picture
Here we go, our first round of Formula Drift Prospec competition. Over the last year we have been putting in countless hours to get this car built and ready for battle. When I imported this car from South Africa I knew we would have to rebuild this entire car in order to compete in FD and the reason we kept this car was because it was right hand drive and it was still cheap enough to import the car rather than start with a whole new build.

​Just 3 days before we made the 4500 km drive to Atlanta from Canada we managed to get the NonStopTuning Mustang out for some testing. We got 4 laps of testing in and I was not feeling as comfortable as I would’ve liked after those few laps. The seating position, steering position, peddle position and feeling of the car was so foreign to me. The entire car has been completely rebuilt, I hadn’t driven this car in almost 2 years, we haven’t had much test time but here we are about to drive 4500 km to our first round of FD.

Tuesday:
After 4 days of driving we finally arrived at Road Atlanta, it was a surreal moment for me. Coming through the gates and realizing that we have arrived to compete in our first round of FD Prospec. Tuesday was tech day, we decided to get the earliest slot as possible incase we needed to make any changes to the car, then we still had a full day to rectify any issues. Fortunately everything was great with the car and we could go find our pit spot and start setting up.

​As we found our pit space we got tornado and flood watch warnings. We then decided we weren’t going to set anything up, packed the Mustang back into the trailer and called it a day. We went on to our Airbnb to get some much needed rest, unfortunately our Airbnb was not what we had seen in the pictures or reviews and we were left scrambling to now find another Airbnb to house myself and the team. Luckily we found one a bit further away and Airbnb helped us get a refund from the old place. Now we could get some much needed rest.
Picture
Wednesday:
Wednesday was a relatively relaxed day, all we had on our schedule was a drivers meeting and track walk. The weather was still not great, with rain and high winds lurking we left the car in the trailer for as long as possible. In fact I think we left the car in the trailer the whole day so it did not become the local swimming pool being a convertible.

​Drivers meeting was great, I met some of the drivers, teams and FD staff for the first time and reminded myself about all the hard work myself and the team has done to get us to this point.

​Track walk was a real eye opener, seeing the track in person for the first time and realizing how narrow the track really is was a shock. The elevation from the starting grid to turn 1 and then back up to the keyhole was wild to see in person. Watching it live does not do it any justice. I then got a good understanding of where I need to put the car and try to find some points along the track that I can use as markers. Now we head back to the pit area and call it a day.
Picture
Thursday:
Thursday was game day. We started the day off with another drivers meeting with the judges and a photoshoot showing off our Mia’s Racing race suit and sponsor decals! After that we could gather up all our gear and start heading to the hot grid to set up for our first practice runs.

​At this point the rain was on and off and going into our first run in practice the rain was still falling. The bottom half of the track was wet and the keyhole had started drying out. Going into the final corner I hit a stream going across the track and went to full steering lock using all the Hot Line Iwon suspension angle, this slowed us down so much that the driver chasing us came smashing into us. Luckily it was just cosmetic damage but it took some time to fix and we did not get another run in practice.
Picture
Next time we were out on track was the warm up for seeding. The track was dry and now we could finally start getting some dry runs in. We managed to get 2 runs in during warm up and now we were getting ready for our top 16 seeding battle against Christian Cotrone. We were leading going into this battle and I tried laying down the best lead run I could, with the minimum laps we got in practice I was still figuring out the car and track. Christian had some mistakes in the chase and was dealing with some car issues. Going into my chase run I knew I just had to have a clean chase and stay on track. As I initiated in the lead I had almost no handbrake, I was pumping it and fortunately had just enough to get the car to rotate. Christian then over rotated in the keyhole and we got the win. Moving us into the top 8 of seeding but more importantly giving us a spot in the main event top 32.

​I quickly went on the radio and told the team we had a handbrake issue. After getting back to our pit box we noticed the handbrake caliper bolts were missing and the caliper was jammed up against the footbrake caliper! Fortunately the team next to us had exactly what we needed and we were able to get it fixed before our next battle.

​Our next battle was against Tyler Mayer in the top 8. Tyler is a great driver, very smooth and calculated. I knew I had to give out some really good runs to get this win. Tyler was flawless and he managed to knock us out in the top 8. We were happy we made it into the top 32 and that was our main goal for the seeding battles! We then got back to our main pit and prepared the car for Fridays battles.
Picture
Friday:
Friday was the big day. Top 32 and we in the main event for our first round of FD! Thursday night we decided to do some changes to the car so Friday morning the team got busy making the changes while myself and Justin went to drivers meeting.

After our drivers meeting we had an autograph session where we met so many great people. It was such a great feeling being back in competition and meeting all the amazing fans! 
Picture
We then got ready to head out for our first and only practice session on Friday. We got there early and was second in line. While I was in the burnout box getting the tires and car ready I noticed my engine temps were rising rather quickly, I asked the start line guy to please look under the hood to see if I had lost a belt, he then confirmed that by throwing my broken belt on my lap. I rushed back to the hot pit and the team quickly threw some new belts on. We then managed to get 2 runs in before practice ended and were kind of ready for our top 32 battles!

Our top 32 battle was against Collin Zielinski. We knew this was going to be a tough battle and had to lay it all down on track. Collin lead first and I was in chase. The run was going great until the last corner, Collin over rotated, I slammed on the brakes trying to avoid him, unfortunately making contact with him and I went flying backwards into the wall. It was quite a hard hit but fortunately it was just cosmetic damage.

​We then went into the 2nd run of our battle where I would be leading, I knew I had a massive advantage and just had to lay down a clean lead run. That was enough to get us the win and move onto top 16.
Picture
Going into top 16 was such a great achievement for us. We knew now we would go into the top 16 parade and be a part of the opening ceremonies. Standing there listening to the USA Anthem play was a moment I will never forget. After watching this on TV for so many years I finally get to be a part of this for real.

​Our top 16 battle was against Adam Heishman, another fellow Mustang driver. I’ve watched Adam before and knew I had to lay down yet some more killer runs. When Adam was in the chase position, he hit me going up to the keyhole and broke something on his car ending his run. We then got the win against Adam and we were now in the top8!

Our top 8 battle was against Dustyn Farrel, this I knew was going to be one of the toughest battles of the night. We both pushed extremely hard and both had some mistakes, Dustyn's mistakes were slightly more than mine which gave us the win and we were now moving on to the top 4!

We were against Dmitriy Brutskiy in the top 4, two time Prospec champion! We knew this was going to be a heavy task ahead of us but we were ready for it. Each run we got better and better and I was feeling better with each run I did. Brutskiy lead first and it was a strong run until the last corner, Brutskiy ran wide and dropped 3 wheels off track, I was following him and when he went off track it lead me off track too. They put that on Dmitriy and I had an advantage going into my lead run. I tried laying down the best and cleanest run I could and I made some mistakes but nothing big enough to offset the mistake that Dmitriy had in the lead.

We got the win and now we actually made it into the finals of our first Formula Drift Prospec event!
Picture
We were up against last years Atlanta winner Cory Talaska, oh boy did we know this was going to be an amazing battle!

​I knew I had to give 120% to give us a chance of beating Cory. Cory’s lead was flawless, he put the car exactly where the judges wanted and he was fast! I fell behind slightly and knew he had the advantage going into our next run.

​I tried laying down the best lead run I could but I came up short in the keyhole and Cory’s chase was better than what we could give him. Cory got the win, we got 2nd place and what an amazing achievement for our debut event here in Atlanta!
Picture
The car ran great, my team was amazing and we are fired up heading into round 2 in Connecticut. Huge shout out to our sponsors for supporting us, NonStopTuning, Vex Performance, Mia’s Racing, Drift Farm Motorsports, Dynamic Range Media, Link ECU, Hot Line, Iwon Performance and Peak Simulators!  See you all in Connecticut!

NonStopTuning Signs Professional Drifter Jason Webb

NonStopTuning is proud to announce the latest signing to our professional drift team, four time South African Drift Champion, Jason Webb!
Growing up in Cape Town, South Africa. I have always had a passion for motorsports. I grew up at the race track watching my dad, brother and cousin do track racing and knew that's what I wanted to do one day. I started off racing go-karts and in 2009 I stumbled across a couple guys drifting at our local race track. It was the first time seeing it live and I fell in-love with it immediately. 1 year later I got an opportunity to join a drift team. I was trained on a skid pad for roughly 4 months before being allowed to drive on the main track.  The team I joined had their very own skid pad and race track so I was very fortunate to get this opportunity and sure did not let it go to waste. After 6 months of training, I was finally ready for competition, in my first event I finished 2nd behind my teacher and finished the championship in 3rd place overall that year. This was in 2011, later that year I was signed by Monster Energy and remained with them until I left South Africa in 2023. During that period I won 4 National Drift Championships, finished on the podium every year I competed and travelled to Europe to do various events like Gatebil, Tahko on ice and some fun drift sessions in the UK.

Fast forward to today, my wife and I have immigrated to Canada and we decided to import my beloved convertible Roush Ford Mustang when we immigrated. It was cheaper to import the car rather than get a new chassis in North America, and I still get to drive on the correct side of the car! Being from South Africa we drive on the right side and I feel in competition I would feel more comfortable remaining on that side of the car rather than trying to adapt to LHD. We sent in a petition to get our Formula Drift Prospec license and got approved! Now came the tough part, finding sponsors to help make this dream possible.

​I have seen and heard about Non Stop Tuning throughout the years of watching FD and when the time came that they opened registration for sponsorships we thought let's give it a try! After a handful of meetings with Mike, we sealed the deal and became an NST driver for the 2026 Formula Drift Prospec championship. I am so pumped to be a part of the NST family and to represent NST in FD! I look forward to growing our partnership together and using their amazing products on the track!

​See you all in Atlanta!

-Jason Webb
Jason brings with him a Supercharged Roush Ford Mustang, an experienced team, and a drive to succeed at the highest level of drifting.  We look forward to working with Jason and his crew as their title sponsor, providing products and support as he pursues his rookie campaign in Formula Drift.

Jayce Habich NST S13 - 2025 DriftCon Afterdark Event Recap

10/9/2025

Thursday - Arrival/Load In
​
Fresh off the Formula Drift season, we had an opportunity to jump back into battle at our home track Evergreen Speedway. Driftcon is a premier drift competition and car show in the northwest, with every round walking distance from our shop. This round was extra special because it featured the ⅝’s layout. The very same one that Formula Drift uses! We prepped our car, and mounted tires from 1:30 pm until 7:00 pm when our longtime friends and fellow drifters from the Spec-D series arrived at our shop. After greeting everyone and unloading cars we headed to dinner before calling it a night.


Friday - Final Prep/Practice

After breakfast I packed up my car in the trailer and the crew and I helped mount tires for everyone, and do a last minute headlight install on Shawn Hartum’s Rx7. Shawn is the creator of Spec-D who now drives for fun as well as coaches his 14 year old daughter Emily on her own drifting journey. After buttoning up the last car we made the 2 minute journey to the track, and set up our pits. We had 6 cars between 5 drivers running in the event, so our pit was more like a mini car show with quite the spread. 3 Rx-8’s, a Rx-7, a New Edge Mustang, and the NST S13 all pitted side by side!
Picture
Practice started at 4:30 pm and began with the Double 8 layout. We used the time to prep the car and set it up so it could glide on the bank. Around 6:00 pm big bank practice began and immediately the car felt amazing. The ⅝’s can be intimidating. You have to drive your car as fast as it will go and throw it at a solid wall with the pedal to the metal. My car was built with this in mind. Every single time I shifted through the gears and flicked it towards the wall it just did exactly what I asked of it. Coming off the bank into the infield can be a little tricky because the grip level changes by the minute. After 2 or 3 runs the session ended and I came into the pits to prepare for the next one. I had a test day a couple of weeks prior and the gear set was too short, causing me to be redlined through the bank. With the new gears we put in, the car ripped through the bank with the engine pegged just before the limiter. It was perfect for the layout. The second session began and I did 2 more laps before feeling confident enough to park it for the night and help out the rest of our drivers. Practice ended around 9:30 pm and we all went for dinner and called it a night.
Picture
Saturday - Competition Day
​
We arrived at the track around 9:30 am and began setting everything up. Practice wasn't until 1:00 pm so we had a good amount of time to eat breakfast, wipe the cars down, and make a couple setup changes. The car felt great in practice, but it was at night time and the comp is during the heat of the day so the grip level is different. After these changes however I had a tough time coming off the bank into the infield. The track felt completely different compared to the night before. This problem bled into my first qualifying lap. I did a great job on the bank and into the first outer zone in the power alley but when I went to transition the car washed out and fell out of power. I had to play it safe and put down a run to make it in the show on my second attempt, which resulted in a measly 66. I wanted to better my 97 from last year but sometimes things don't go your way. I qualified 5th and pulled Carlton, my FD crew chief and longtime friend. Sucks to go against your friends in the first round of competition, but we were determined to put on a show. After Qualifying I pulled my car on track for fan fest. It was awesome to interact with the fans, and show up for the people who cheered me on all season. Fan fest concluded, and I went back to the pits for some lunch and got ready for battle.
Picture
Carlton and I were the second battle up. We both did our warm up burnouts and lined up at the start gate. We drive the simulator together every night and have battled a couple times before. We both knew we had to give 110% to win. I led first and Carlton rubbed on my door the entire way! We both were revving and pumping our arms on the way back to the line. We lined up for the second run, and awaited the light. I stayed on his bumper as we took off down the straightaway. Carlton is known for his big flick initiations so I anticipated his first flick and as I was going to surge onto his door I noticed he wasn’t rotating back in time and was in trouble. I stomped on the left foot brake to not allow the car to travel any higher into him and escaped disaster by the vinyl on my bumper. Unfortunately when Carlton flick initiated, his car gripped up and drove up the bank making him have to lock up the brakes and slam into the tractor tire guarding the wall. I immediately turned around and confirmed he was okay. It was a really scary moment, and I am just glad he is unharmed and his car is fixable.

Now I had to shake the crash off mentally and prepare for my next battle vs Matt Rusiecki. Matt is this year’s Spec-D Drift Series Champion and FD Prospec licensee so he’s no slouch. He also beat me in the last driftcon, and I wanted to even the score. He was the #1 qualifier which means he leads first all day. 
Picture
We fired off the line and sent it full throttle through the bank and onto the infield. I was able to stay on his door consistently and made a statement in the final zone being inches from his door. In the lead I just tried to be flowy and consistent and the NonStopTuning S13 was just that. It felt just as if I was across the street in my shop driving my simulator. I took the win putting me into the finals to battle David Dodge.
Picture
David is a fierce competitor out of Oregon with a LS powered Brz/86. It was his first time competing on the ⅝’s and he was looking really good. He led first and I chased him down. We put on a decent run, I was maintaining proximity and we nailed every zone. In the final zone we got really close and David’s wheel exploded! At first I thought I killed our Gopro because I saw chunks flying and hitting my car but it was his wheel. His tire was completely de-beaded and if the judges decided there wasn’t contact his day would be over. I didn’t think I hit him at the time but I still told the race officials to allow him to change his wheel to be able to run. Winning by technicality sucks, and I am glad I did it because after reviewing our Gopro footage, I definitely hit him. After his crew changed his wheel we lined back up and threw down a heater. Judges and fans liked it so much they went one more time to give the fans another show.

I took the win in the rerun, and I celebrated with my crew until the podium ceremony later on in the night!
Picture
Picture
It was a fantastic event, and a great showing for the NonStopTuning car. To get back to back wins on the big bank feels amazing!

The crew kept the car together throughout the event. Which was a chore because I kept hitting the final wall and tore my rear end up pretty good.

​All the NST products worked perfectly, and looked incredible while doing it.

Thank you all for reading, and supporting all season! Stay tuned for all the things to come!

Wednesday - Arrival/Load In

The NonStopTuning S13 was on display at Formula Drift Seattle, so we had a 14-hour road trip to round 4 in Utah. We weren't able to leave until early Wednesday morning, which put us at the track at 8 pm. It was too late to drop tires off at Racetreads to get all our fresh GT Radials mounted, so we set up the pit instead. After rallying the troops and creating a plan, we headed back to the Airbnb to get some rest before our 7 am start time.

Thursday - Practice/Seeding
​
We arrived at the track at 6:45 am and immediately started prepping the service truck for the pits. This round was another hot-pit event, and definitely the farthest from the main pits compared to the last three tracks. At 7:30 am, I attended the driver's meeting while the crew warmed up my car and made final preparations for the haul to the hot-pit for practice. After my meeting, with no Racetread personnel in sight and practice fast approaching, we decided to head out to the track with our one set of tires in case practice started before we could get new tires installed. Once on track, I took my spotter and media guy to the track walk to get a look and feel for the updated layout.
Picture
Last season, we had to drive over a rumble strip to the first outer zone, which was a little hard on equipment and was poorly visible. This season, they added an outer zone on the straightaway, with an inner clipping point on the inside corner of the track. Kind of similar to the 2025 Atlanta layout, except instead of transitioning up the hill in Atlanta, here you carry through the inner clip to an outer zone before transitioning to what was last year's outer 2. I had a feeling this change was coming due to the lack of competitive tandems in Prospec and Pro last year, so I practiced this layout on the simulator plenty before we got here. We spent the rest of the time picking other drivers' brains, especially the Pro 1 guys who have been here every year since they added Salt Lake to the circuit. After picking up some gems, we headed back to warm up the car for the first practice session.

The first practice session was average. I felt really good, but the car seemed to fight my inputs a little bit. We still didn't have any new tires yet, so I pulled the car in after 3 laps and let the crew know how it was feeling. A huge perk of the on-board GoPros is that we can pull video of the run as soon as I get back in line. This helps a ton in diagnosing any steering binds or problems that I don’t notice or mention right away. We talked through it, and they made some changes that made an immediate difference in practice session 2. Between our practice sessions is the Pro’s practice. I like to watch how some of them are running the track and see if I can pick up on anything they are doing. While I watched, they ran back to Racetreads to pick up all our new tires to get as many laps as possible before the seeding bracket started.
Picture
The second practice session was awesome. The car did what I asked it to do, and it felt decently fast compared to the competition. One of the major challenges for Salt Lake is the elevation. With the air much thinner than normal, everyone is down on power. Especially the turbo and supercharged engines because they rely heavily on the forced air for boost. With an all-motor nitrous setup like mine, the elevation doesn’t affect it as much, which helps close the horsepower gap. As the session went on, I was able to get really comfortable behind my NonStopTuning wheel. It felt as if I was back home on the sim running laps without a care in the world. This helped build my confidence before my seeding bracket battle with Sam Maghmoumi.
Picture
Sam is an experienced driver who can absolutely shred when the time comes. I knew I had to bring it to have a chance at taking home the victory and sealing my spot in the top 32. We had a little bit of a break to calm down and rehydrate because our battle was the last of Seeding 16. The team refueled and reloaded nitrous before sending me to the line to wait for battle.
Picture
Sam was seeded below me, so I got to lead first. I fired out of the box and shifted up the gears to fourth and sent it into the outer one. I was a tiny bit off the inner clip, but that was the only fault as the car screamed through the rest of the zones perfectly. 
Picture
We lined it back up for my chase run. I felt really good, but I also knew that Sam stuck it to my door really well, so I am going to have to really put on a show to get the win. The lights extinguished, and he got the jump on me going into the first zone. I was able to catch up by the first inner clip and ripped through the rest of the track, camped on his door. The judges awarded me the win after a little deliberation, and I came back to the pits for fresh tires.
Picture
In the top 8, we were matched up with our buddy Chris Leanard and his S550 Mustang. I led first and put on another banging lead run. The announcer during the run said I should be sponsored by Men’s Warehouse because of how the track fits my driving style. 
Picture
I was filled with excitement when I lined up to chase him, but that might have gotten the better of me. In the final transition, I surged on his door and got too excited, losing the wheel in the process and backing into the last zone. As frustrating as it was, I couldn't feel too bad as I made it into the top 32, and Chris is an awesome driver and a great person.

​We packed it up and headed back to the main pit to watch the Pro Seeding Bracket before calling it a day and shipping back to our Airbnb.

Friday - Competition Day
​
It was a little later than usual, with us arriving around 8 am. I had another driver's meeting, and the crew got the car shined up and the truck packed for the long day on track. The weather was perfect, sun shining, a couple of clouds in the sky, paired with a nice breeze to keep cool and move the smoke. Today’s top 32 matchup was Brian Wills. Brian and I are longtime friends, ever since he came up to my home track, Evergreen Speedway, and won the licensing shootout. We also started competing in FD the same year. Our crew and their crew help each other whenever needed, and we have the utmost respect for their team and program. Brian and I never battled in FD, but we drive together on the simulator all the time, so he knows my style and I know his. This was going to be an all-out battle where the loser would simply be whoever made the first mistake.
Picture
Warm-up began at 9:45 am, and the NonStopTuning car felt as good as it ever has. Lap after lap, I was riding the edge of the track. I even got in the habit of riding the rumble strips into outer zone three for the smoothest line. I got six laps in before feeling good enough to shut it down and wait for my battle. We were the third battle of the day, so I knew as soon as the competition started, I needed to be lined up and ready. I used the ten minutes I had to go to the restroom and rehydrate while the crew prepped the car for battle.

Ranked lower than Wills, I was in the chase position first. I could barely contain my excitement as I pulled into the burnout box. Here I am on the biggest stage in drifting, and I get to put on a show with a good buddy in front of the fans. The lights went out, and Brian and I took off like we were being chased by a monster. We fired into the first zone together and through the first zone. I backed off to transition and shot through the smoke to where I thought he would be. He created a bit of a gap, and when I tried to transition through the smoke, I just got more smoke. Without sight, I still pushed to find his door, but found the edge of the track instead. Both rear wheels went into the dirt, and I slid off track. Nothing on the car was broken, so I drove back to the start line for my lead run. At such a deficit, the only thing you can do as the lead driver is put on an amazing lap and hope the chase messes up. Brian did exactly what he needed to do in the chase and camped on my door as I led him around the track. He took the win and bragging rights this time around.

After the top 32 concluded, we went back to the pits to stage our car at the NonStopTuning booth as well as do a meet and greet with fans. I talked to tons of people interested in the car and/or NST products. It was a great time. I couldn't stay for long because Autograph signing was starting soon, so I zipped over there to show my appreciation for all those who support us drifters. Unfortunately, we weren't able to stay for Saturday as this round falls at the same time as our local county fair. We park thousands of cars on our shop property during this time, and we left a skeleton crew back home while we went drifting. We had to head home late Friday night to get home before the busiest weekend of the fair.

Overall, I couldn't be prouder of my team and our performance this year. With a quarter of the size of the crew from last year, we were able to overcome more challenges than ever before without complaint. Round one started with destroying the car, and we bounced back. Round two, the car got beaten up again, and we bounced back. Our transmission blew on our tow rig, and we drove it through a tornado. None of this could break the crew’s attitude and willingness to come to every round ready to work.

​I also cannot thank Mike and the entire NonStopTuning team for all their help this season. There is nothing better than working with a company that will listen to a driver’s needs and deliver!

​We have some giant changes coming to my car this offseason, as well as some awesome new NST products to show off, so don’t go anywhere.

Stay Tuned!
