If you checked out Tampa’s Craiglist Cars for Sale section this week you would find a Nissan 240sx S14 with quite the history behind it. The car was the first drift car of Nick Hogan according to Craigslist. Then the car was used during the NOPI Drift series by Vision Performance. This car can be bought for $2,000 OBO if you act fast.

Check out a great blog from Dennis Mertzanis about his adventure that was Formula Drift Las Vegas. Even though he failed to make Top 32 he has quite a story about his whole Formula Drift weekend. This was his fifth career pro drifting event. Read up about his new Kenda Tire was running and his weekend performance.
Words cannot even describe how much fun we had off-roading with Vaughn Gittin Jr. just before Formula Drift Las Vegas. A nice public park behind the Air Force Base and the LVMS CORR truck course gave us every opportunity to test and enjoy this SVT Raptor. It was quite a treat to have Vaughn Gittin Jr. manhandle the completely stock Ford truck for hours off-road and then hand it back to us so we can take it to the hotel. It was quite impressive and we have a few hundred photos packed in a gallery of our day out in the dirt.

Check out Ryan Tuerck’s blog about his weekend at Formula Drift Las Vegas. It looks like he hopped on the Wrecked Magazine Gardella Racing blog to tell us about his Formula Drift weekend with the LS7 powered Pontiac Solstice. It was a tough weekend since he lost to Vaughn Gittin Jr. in the Top 16 which pretty much eliminated him from a championship hope. Find out what he had to say at the Gardella blog.

Check out Ken Gushi’s blog about the struggles they had during Formula Drift Las Vegas. They had quite some issues over the weekend but managed to keep the car together and Ken competing. Here is what he had to say about the weekend,
“So we just finished our event at Formula Drift Round 5 Las Vegas. Unfortunately, luck wasn’t on our side this time. So far, the first half of the season has been well for us. This event sort of turned things around. First of all, we did not have adequate testing time to get the car dialed in for this venue.”
