I get picked up by the one & Only HOBO, Joshua Herron rocking his NOS Energy Drink sunglasses…
His S14 is solid, stickers are going bye bye soon….
My brother from another mother Scotto…
Not a Corolla, it’s a 78 Ford Escort, being piloted by the homie Vaughn Gittin Jr.
This is Ken Block’s personal fun car, 2200lbs, 300 hp, paddle shift sequential = FUN!
LOVE this sticker/logo…
JR loved it even tough shocks blew out and trans issues later on…
Sunset on Friday night…
Thursday night I got to ride shotgun with the HOONIGAN himself Ken Block, Ken & I go back and this is the 1st time I’m riding with him, watch the video below… Good times & definitely different than a drift car, AWD is crab walking & way more violent!
Then Friday morning get a ride to the track with my long time homie Bucky Lasek… It was is Birthday yet His weekend wasnt the best car wise, no e brake, never drifters, Gymkhana’d or anything he KNOWS grip but he doesnt know how to slide…
Oh well still had a blast, evidence in minutes…
The man that threw the party…
Ken Block…

I landed back in PHX just in time and halftime for the ONLY Chargers touchdown & loss to the Raiders…
Nic & his Chargers shots when they score, 1 round of shots sucks!
CONAN is coming back and not soon enough…
I must say Jimmy Fallon has come into his own style and speed obviously The Roots filling in as his Ed McMahon..
Regardless Conan as he’s come to be known as Coco given to him by Tom Hanks
I remember watching Conan as a kid in middle school his first episode…
He’s had many lives and I think this time around it’s gonna be on HIS terms!
WORK is a four letter word and if you love what you do it’s not WORK at all I LIVE and do what I do because I was given an opportunity to do what I love and that’s to LIVE…
When living pays your bills and allows you to live life fuller with the ones you love, that’s the fruit of the labor!
I’ve had a busy couple weeks and the trains NOT slowing down…
Come with me as I left Nor Cal & Formula Drift Sonoma for a family vacation and right back at it following to Canada, Burbank and ya get the idea…
The wife, kid and I headed to Florida for the one & only Walt Disney World this is a VERY abreviated summary, don’t wanna bore you!…

MUNITIO sent me these 9mm earphones called Teknines, these are limited edition and sold out but Titanium versions are on their way, lighter and for us car guys Ti sounds cool!
In the mean time, catch a pair of these technically sound (pun intended) and fashionably LOUD (PUN INTENDED again, sorry) and of course got some street cred with the bullet 9mm shell design!
Just got back from Vegas for Formula Drift round 5 but I figured I’ll show you some gifts I got in the mail!

Study up with some mags too…
Tanner Foust hooked it up, Fulmer sent me a helmet… Had to hook it up with some NOS Energy Drink stickers…
Of course if I’m going to get race gloves, Alpinestars is the way to go… laces out on the gloves better feel… Tech 1-ZX Glove is fresh!
My homie Gordon sent me the latest issues of 0-60 Magazine and Antenna Magazine…
0-60 is one of the best car mags out right now, great photography, story concepts and just overall gets it…

Given my line of work, MC’ing events ALL day especially Formula Drift events where I’m hooting, hollering, “Sending It” and wrapping it up this is MY kind of product… So believe me I will be giving this a test drive at the 1st round of Formula Drift if not sooner!!!!
Thanks Entertainers Secret, feedback post usage/post event! To buy CLICK HERE
