The car Dean Kearney drove at Irwindale 2009 will be his competition car for the 2010 season but not after a serious overhaul. The guys over at Intec Racing look to be pretty hard at work getting this car back in racing form. This will be an interesting program to look at for 2010 and another Irishman permanently on the roster for the new season.

More information these days is just flying around on Twitter and Dean Kearney tweeted about getting his medical checks done for his 2010 Formula Drift license. We are going to go out on a wild limb and guess is he getting a license to drive this season.
“Need to sort out a medical this week for my Formula D licence….i hate doctors tho 
”
That was his 140 character limited hint he will be coming in for the season. Some sources tell us that the car he campaigned at Irwindale 2009 pictured above will be his 2010 Formula Drift car for now, more updates when they become available.

Dead Pirate Productions pieced together a great video highlighting the Silk Road car being drifted by Irishman Dean “Karnage” Kearney. This video highlights and reviews his American visit at Irwindale Speedway that ended with gearbox issues.

The Irish drifting sensation Eric O’Sullivan will take home Rookie of the Year tonight at the Formula Drift banquet. He finished the season with 332.25 points ranking him in 18th place. His closest competition was Michael Essa who had 263.50 points down in 24th place. Michael Essa did not drive in Round 3 at Wall Speedway while Eric O’Sullivan performed in all 7 rounds noting a reason for the large gap in points. Congrats to Rockstar Energy Drink, Hankook Tires, Eric O’Sullivan, and team who put together a great package for the driver allowing him to finish with a Rookie of the Year spot.
Dean Kearney evaded our photographer somehow but the DSTROYR blog had some photos of the silk Road/Intec drift car. No one has seen this car since Haraguchi piloted it around Formula Drift Irwindale sometime ago. Personally, I cannot wait to see the results of Dean Kearney tearing it up around the track this weekend.

The first shirt DSTROYR is releasing is a collaboration with Kyle Mohan Racing. Rotary fans should dig this one since it’s the centerpiece of the t-shirt. The second shirt is for a newcomer to the Formula D series Dean Karney.
Dean Karney was Pro Drift champion this year and has followed in his fellow Irishmen footsteps and come to America. He will be in the Intec Silvia ripping it up this weekend. His nickname is Karnage so Team Karnage is on the front with knives and a target. The back is a sponsor roll call for Dean Karney.

It looks like the rumor we reported on earlier about Dean Kearney has come true. We said we thought he would be coming to Irwindale Speedway this year and according to his blog he will be arriving in style. He will be piloting the Intec Racing/Silk Road S14 that Haraguchi used at Formula Drift Irwindale. The car is now completely white and we will have some pictures coming in soon of how it looks before you see at on the track at Irwindale.
Even though Alan Sinnott took home the victory at Mondello Raceway it looks like Dean
Karnage wins the championship in the Pro Drift Super Series. Here is how they finished
Round 4.
1st. Alan Sinnott
2nd. Dean Karnage
3rd. Danny Eyles
4th. James Deane
Monster Energy Drink Team Triple Black Promo with Fuel Girls
Three of the most out of control drifters in Europe somehow came together for one drifting team called Team Triple Black. This video will convince you on how out of control fun they are if you don’t know about them already. Not to mention they have the Fuel Girls washing their cars and shooting flames throughout most of the video. It’s by the far the least amount of drifting we have ever seen in a promo piece but they do have the Fuel Girls so we can forgive them this time.

Well following the bunny hop from Ryan Tuerck Vs. Ueo in Las Vegas we have been getting quite some submissions of cars all four wheels off the ground. Then after talking about that crazy event the guys at Pro Drift sent us a snap shot from 2006 where they had a similar accident happen. Now Dean Karnage has twittered this picture of him all four wheels off the ground. With all of this “big air” graviating to drifting perhaps Rhys Millen’s ProStadium Drift Truck Jump Drifting series or whatever it was called is slowly progressing and becoming a reality?
