Red Bull #199 wheelman… 1 of 1

Here it is…
Pretty sick, he’ll be running it at X Games this weekend…

Accelaration and Libations— See Ken Block blog at X Games & some beers I purchased

The now infamous rally driver, Gymkhana hero and all around good guy and good friend of mine Ken Block will be blogging his adventures at X Games 15…
It can all be seen HERE AT KEN BLOCK’S SUBARU X GAMES 15 BLOG…
Like the “freak out” face

Here’s some libation/beer purchases I made and can’t wait to enjoy…
Stone Brewing 13th Anniversary Ale….
Can’t wait!!!!
A few fun facts about Stone 13th Anniversary Ale:
Head Brewer Mitch Steele
“Big, red, and a hop monster!”
1 This is the first time we’ve ever released the Imperial/Double Red style.
2 We used more pounds of hops per barrel than any beer we’ve ever made.
3 We used Chinook hops in the brewhouse for bittering and flavor, then dry-hopped this beer with a 50/50 blend of Simcoe and Centennial.
4 As an added bonus, we then dry-hopped it again, just prior to filtering and packaging. That’s right, our popular double dry-hopped process, for the first time ever in one of our bottled beers!
Stone 13th Anniversary Ale pours brilliant deep red with a light tan foam. Up front, the aroma is all piney, resinous and citrus hops. Upon tasting, the hops are still on the front, and they are balanced with the malty, toffee like flavors contributed from the blend of crystal and amber malts used in the brewhouse. The finish is deliciously bitter, with a touch of warmth provided by the 9.5% alcohol. Bitterness comes in at 90+ IBU.

Next is from the NW Rogue Ales Somer Orange Honey Ale
The chick is my friend’s wife who works at Rogue, her name is guess…. Somer haha

Snap On Tools drift/rally in Vegas…

I went back out to Las Vegas for less than 24 hours to MC a cool event, the Snap On Franchisee Conference and no I didn’t just talk tools, though that would’ve been sweet given ALL the tools they had…

Snap On Tools had Ken Gushi, representing the sponsorship of Formula Drift being the “Official Tool of Formula Drift” and also Travis Pastrana as they have a relationship with him as well…

Ken Gushi in his comp Scion tC and Travis Pastrana in a near stock demo vehicle performed some individual and tandem demos inside at the arena at South Point Hotel…

Good times, thanks Snap on, Scott, Tom, Hogan and everybody else involved…

Saw this on the plane flying to Vegas, thought it summed up my life right now…
TCB if you don’t know, it stands for Taking Care of Business and was Elvis’ slogan and more…
