Here is a bad photo of Vaughn Gittin Jr’s new Ford Mustang. This is not the final wrap for the new Formula Drift season yet but I have it on pretty good authority that when the car is done it will look like what it did here: Fantasy Factory 2011 Mustang [SPYSHOTS]. So this snapshot is the best looking you will see this car since that black/white Falken style livery just doesn’t look good. Man this car looks tough in this photo right here though…… and so strange to see Justin Pawlak in the traditional Mustang just behind this one.

Thanks for the tip Case182.

Last night our editor Joey Redmond got a chance to hop on Race Fan Radio’s show Tech House & Speed to talk some drifting with host Bill Wood. The main topic of the show revolves around the launch of Fantasy Drift this week but they also dish some great off season talk. They take a deep look into the Sam Hubinette / ACP sponsorship acquisition and how it will play out in 2010. The signs that Justin Pawlak will be on a road to maturity in his driving with his new Team Falken support and his new 2010 Ford Mustang. Lastly they talk about the concerns of Tanner Foust’s performance with his potentially overloaded schedule. The radio show this week also featured 2003 World Rally Champion Petter Solberg, David Empringham (two time Atlantic Formula Atlantic Champion) and Nic Jonsson. Not bad company on the radio show by any means. If you follow the link the drifting segment with Joey Redmond is first on the show.

As you can tell by the cover of Issue 14 it is the best issue we have made to date. A Mazda Rx-7 driven by a bunny rabbit brings Fantasy Drift to the fans forever. TO celebrate our debut of Fantasy Drift we allowed some of your favorite drifters to embrace their inner fantasy. Also inside the issue is a full Nissan 370z review where Chris Forsberg and Joey Redmond square off in a tandem review of the new ride. Joon Maeng also rolled out a great new diary from his adventures in Panama for Xtreme Drift. This is the largest issue we have created to date!

Everyone at the office this morning helped me come up with the ten biggest announcements that have come in seen Irwindale Speedway 2009.  While the Hankook cars rolled out first at SEMA the announcements for 2010 have practically been rolling in constantly. We have made our picks and placed our votes so let us know what story you think is the biggest of 2010.

We just got word from one of our favorite sponsors Falken Tire that they have picked up Drift Alliance Ace Justin Pawlak for 2010. ASD is getting a new Falken colored (teal/green) 2010 Mustang in shape for him at Long Beach. While Vaughn is moving into a 2011 we will see the older 2010 in the hands of JTP. The boys at ASD are a team I know can have a car in racing form for Long Beach. With a 9th place finish in 2009 I have faith Justin Pawlak can be a champion contender in the Ford Mustang. The real question now is, can Justin Pawlak finish better than the Mustang poster child, Vaughn Gittin Jr.?  What are your thoughts on this one?

The Bergenholtz held a press conference today to announce a new driver for 2010.  Joon Maeng will be driving under the Mazda and Nitto Tire banner for 2010. This announcement comes with great excitement at the press conference today. Do you think this new program will finish better than 9th place in 2010?

Justin Pawlak – Interview/Strip Tease on Too Much Panama

JTP brought his FC Mazda Rx-7 out to Panama and was hit with an interview by TooMuchPanama.com during his stay. The ladies conducting his interview convinced Justin Pawlak to even give all the ladies watching (including themselves) a strip tease you don’t want to miss or might want to miss rather. He will be driving this very car featured now for 2010 Formula Drift after the recent announcements with him and the Bergenholtz Team which has been headlining this week. We have some other drivers who conducted the same interviews which will be coming soon!

All we really know at Wrecked Magazine is that sometime this week a big announcement will be made this week and put the mystery to rest. Until then, we are opening a poll to see if the readers have a guess at who will be replacing JTP. The comments section has been buzzing about Mad Mike Whiddett but we are quite skeptical. Some other talented Mazda drivers made our poll list which should have you thinking as well!

Well I guess this post is mildly ironic at this point but the Bergenholtz Brothers Mazda Rx-8 is featured in the Super Street Magazine February 2010 issue out now. The feature highlights the 2009 Mazda Rx-8 along with it’s former driver Justin Pawlak. The announcement came about 48 hours ago that Justin Pawlak was removed from the team and the Bergenholtz guys have announced that next week they will be unveiling a new driver.

The drivers in Panama were all sporting some interesting tire company stickers for the international demo. All of the drivers were running Nitto Tire stickers which we assumed and were told had some stuff to do with the demo. So this probably eliminates them having new deals for 2010 but we won’t rule that one out just yet either. Joon Maeng however was seen running a Nexen Tire logo on his front bumper……rumors have been soaring about some new tire entries for 2010, could this possibly be one of them?
