This is Ken Block’s brand new baby! I present to you the 2010 Monster World Rally Team Ford Fiesta…

Car looks great with the brand new drip graphics and I can’t wait to hear it run!

Late Breaking news….Send It! “Voice of Formula Drift”

By Jarod DeAnda, January 12, 2010

2010 marks the 7th year of Formula Drift Championship and as much as I cant believe Formula Drift has grown to the point it has I can believe it…
Thanks to Ryan Sage and Jim Liaw none of this would be possible for giving me and many drift competitors the platform to compete, grow and show the country and even the world the best drifting sanctioning body, FORMULA DRIFT onward and upward, all killer, no filler!

I was humbled on Monday Jan 11 2010 when a short 2 minute piece was aired about me being the “Voice of Formula Drift” and me in general, thanks to Aaron Gaghagen for reaching out and producing the piece, did a great job…
Like I say “Actions speak louder than words, I just put an exclamation point on it all!”

Enjoy and let me know what you think:

Here’s the piece as it aired on 3TV with the bumps in and out, mentioning something I haven’t announced yet… X Games….

I’d drink there, cheers Yorgo!

By Jarod DeAnda, January 10, 2010

An old homie of mine Yorgo from Intersection Magazine fame was commisioned by Absolut Vodka to design a portable bar, I must say very cool!!!
Here’s one image and honestly you have to see the video of the bar to really get it. More images and his life can be seen on his Arkitip blog…
