Omead is also one of the first members of Analog and the most experienced drifter in the crew. I remember meeting him for the first time when his Toyota Supra was just N/A and automatic. Many troubles and headaches later, we had produced a beast of a machine. Carrying the latest and last model 2JzGTE engine with a VVT-i setup, a custom transmission to handle all gear ratios manually and provide the tools to his first path down the amateur drift scene. Years of hard work and perseverance finally allowed us to land sponsors and outfit his car even more. A custom JIC Magic suspension setup, tuned by drift legend Alex Pfeiffer, made for great cornering and handling. A custom roll cage and seats from Corbeau Seats provided racing comfort in the cockpit. By 2008, Omead was finally able to drift in D1GP with Nexen Tires as our sponsor. Once there, many of our Japanese counterparts respected his potential and bravery for commanding the Toyota beast.

Omead’s passion for racing is also reflected by his academics. A recent graduate of Cal State Fullerton, with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Omead also displayed leadership skills in his SAE Formula Car Club, where his application of engineering to cars blossomed.

He is now pursuing his masters and was a recent intern at VF Engineering, home to some of the best forced induction products for cars like Audi, Porsche, and BMW. Soon enough, Omead will be designing custom parts for the team where we plan on introducing a new line of aftermarket products that we ourselves have tested on and off the track.

Omead’s dedication to the club and his ability to keep following his racing dreams go hand in hand. His success professionally is also proof of his hard work and dedication to the automotive industry. The Toyota Supra can now take more breaks as Omead has also equipped himself with a Hachi-Roku and a 2011 Hyundai Genesis. Nothing but success comes to those with great attitude, appreciation of our camaraderie, and commitment to the pursuit of progress as a driver and leader.
