Next Event

Safety first.

This broke while coming out of the sweeper at ESN. Thanks to NSP for letting me borrow a wheel off their show car. And to Chad for letting me use his extra Momo wheel until I can get a new one.
Note to self: Stop buying cheap shit!

UnF-ck The Gulf

BP’s oil spill has really f–ked up the gulf. Birds, fish, dolphins & sea turtles are f–ked. Whole communities are f–ked. Together we can hold big oil accountable. Together we can unf–k the Gulf.

Ken Block’s Gymkhana THREE drops tomorrow

Ken Block’s Gymkhana THREE drops tomorrow. There doesn’t seem to be as much hype around this one. Not sure if thats a good thing or not. I hope he has better luck with the video than he did in WRC Rally Germany this past weekend. …

Cody Wellons’ S13 For Sale in Atlanta

Cody is looking to sell or trade his S13 hatch and move on to a new project. I’d really like to trade for a 1J/2J swapped SC300 with a manual transmission, although I may be interested in other RWD cars as well (350Z, GS300, etc).

Formula Drift drivers on Twitter #followfriday #formulad

Posted 05 Jun 2009 in Misc

Since I write about Twitter last year, Im please to say that many more automotive people are jumping on board. And to my surprise, there are quite a few Formula D drivers with accounts. There’s a few that aren’t utilizing the service (looking at your Dmac) but perhaps that’ll change. Regardless, Ive put together a small list of Formula D drivers with Twitter accounts. Be sure to follow them during this weekend’s Round 3 at Wallspeedway in Jersey.

Formula Drift
These are the guys that make it happen.

Jarod DeAnda aka “JRod”
The voice of Formula D. If you have ever attended a FD event, then you’ve heard this guy on the mic.

Joon Maeng
Driver of the infamous green S13.5 and by far one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. And one hell of a driver. He’s coming off a 4th place finish at FD Round 2: Atlanta. You can check out his website as well: http://www.joonmaeng.com/. He updates several times a week.

Tommy suell
Pilots the Allegiant AE86. Those that already know his profession will see the humor; or lack there of. Tommy has been quite the blogger as well. http://tommysuell.com/

Dai Yoshihara
Proud new owner of the Discount Tire IS350

Darren McNamara
Originally for Ireland, Dmac is campaigning the Saturn Sky in FD this year. To my chagrin, he’s slacking on his Twitter responsibilities and has yet to post an update.

Tony Brakohiapa
Driver of the Team X Ford Mustang

Vaughn Gittin Jr.
I heard a rumor he drives a Mustang too.

Matt Waldin
Somewhat of a new face to Formula D, but certainly not the scene. Matt has a licenses with in every North American drift series. He also owns a performance shop Import Intelligence in West Chester, PA.
