Titles of blogs just come out of nowhere and some I apologize for but it is what it is…
Inspiration comes from either the post, the product or what’s in my mind at the time of writing it…
This weekend was a blast we had a good time with family, friends which are basically family (The Forsbergs) and just good experiences…

The title for this blog was inspired from an SNL skit from last week w/ J Lo, yes just watch and laugh!

There’s a brand spanking new drift website that’s capturing the drifting scene from the street level to the starting grid at the professional level, it’s called 1K Drift, it actually means 1,000 drifters of Facebook but I’m sure it’ll branch out farther than Facebook, maybe even twitter, MySpace or even digressing back to Friendster or even analog means such as “message pigeons”…

I was stoked to be the 1st ever interview on the website and I even gave Corey the owner of the site the name Sitting Shotgun for interviews… Thanks Corey and good luck with the site, see you at HyperFest!

CHECK OUT MY INTERVIEW HERE…..

Formula Drift pilot and 2nd place overall in 2009 Ryan “Hampshaa” Tuerck and Drift Alliance filmer Andy Laputka just released a new video that I KNOW you’ll enjoy!

There’s no music just the sounds of the car, it’s not on a race track, no super flashy graphics, it’s almost like capturing a wild animal in it’s natural environment… The animal being Ryan Tuerck & his prepped 240SX the environment being virgin pavement and a backdrop NOBODY’S ever seen in Ryan’s home of New Hampshire, hence the nickname “Hampshaa”!!

I really like the vibe of this video, short and sweet and even notice one of the big drifts has NO rubber laid down prior AKA 1ST TAKE SHOT!

Love it!
Congrats “Hampshaa” and Andy on a great fun film for drift fans!

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….
