We took a morning visit to Chris Forsberg Racing this morning and found the CORR truck motor tuned and sitting inside the competition Nissan 350z. They wouldn’t give me too many details but the car has gained at least 100hp and sounds insane at WOT. Fans in Las Vegas this weekend will get a huge treat seeing this thing in action. Chris planned to do some testing at Irwindale Speedway tonight and the CFR team told me that the car will be completely dialed in for competition this weekend at Formula Drift.

Check out Chris Forsberg’s blog about how he tackled Formula Drift Seattle. He ended up qualifying with a 86.3 and beat Eric O’Sullivan in the Top 32. Then Forsberg defeated Daijiro Yoshihara in the Top 16 before moving on to Darren McNamara in the Top 8. If you want to hear about the perspective from Chris Forsberg then check out his blog. Here is a preview of the first paragraph.
I returned home yesterday from Round 4 of the Formula Drift Championship series at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA. Overall, we had a great weekend that began on Wednesday with an in town appearance with the local NOS crew. We spent the day spreading the word about Formula Drift and the event that was happening only a few days from then. Not only did we hand out a bunch of drinks, we were even able to give away two tickets to the event.

Last year I made some predictions for Seattle found at “5 Things We Know Will Happen This Weekend at Formula D” where I listed the same events in this post and got most of them right. The only one I don’t remember happening last year is #4 which was a pleasant surprise.
Eric O’Sullivan landed second place on the podium for his first time in his Formula D career making #5 happen. #3 happened with a little sprinkle during qualifying if I remember right, this also happens and the locals are unfazed but some of the drivers I feel get on tilt making the whole event interesting. #2 happened because this Seattle crowd is one of the best in the series. #1 was none other than Falken Tire driver Daijiro Yoshihara and his huge wreck into the bank entry “Daijiro Yoshihara Crash [SNAPSHOT]” which you can see at this snapshot. The Lexus was totaled and never returned to competition. This is what lead Daijiro Yoshihara into his S13 which appears to be a blessing in disguise. So now it’s just a matter of who will make my predictions come true this year……
5.Someone will podium for the first time in their Formula D career.
4. We will smell horse manure.
3. It will rain.
2. The crowd will stay and go insane no matter what weather conditions.
1. We will have huge accidents.

Break.com’s new comedy routine is called “The Bro Show” and with Episode 3 they visit Chris Forsberg at Toyota Speedway for a great prank. The prank involves a human clipping point cone and an accident which you can watch unfold in Episode 3. We were live during the filming and created this post featuring photos of the shoot which you can view here. Episode 3 does start with some go karts on ice but quickly gets moving over to the House of Drift where the prank is settled.
