2011 Volvo S60 Sedan Promo with Sam Hubinette

Not sure how I feel about the 2011 Volvo S60 but it sure seems to fit Sam Hubinette. Check him out in this official Volvo release which takes him all over Southern California it appears. The engines will range from two diesel engines and one gas engine. There is a 3.0L turbo 6 cylinder gas engine rated at 304hp which isn’t anything to ignore.

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.

In our earlier post we titled the story “Sam Hubinette back with MOPAR in 2010 [RUMORMILL]“and we were kindly corrected by the people at Dodge. While under the same blanket the team will not be getting sponsorship from MOPAR but the sponsorship will be coming from Dodge Motorsports directly. It looks like we should see some new wraps for the 2010 season.

Dodge Motorsports has a new 2010 website up which features some very interesting information about former Formula Drift champion Sam Hubinette. The new updated website has the 2010 Formula D schedule listed along with pictures of the “Top Secret Pictures of the Dodge Challenger Coming Soon.” The car was unveiled at the SEMA 2008 show but has never been seen drifting to date by the public. No photo or video has been released of the car to date but it looks like it’s going to debut this season. I cannot wait to see this one if it makes it out.

We sold out of this item as fast as we listed it on the Wrecked Magazine store. We just got a new inventory so it’s back up on the store for sale. We have quite a bit more inventory this time so hopefully we can make it a few days without selling out of this item.

Wrecked Magazine wanted to offer a little flashback to the 2006 Formula Drift season. This was the first ever event on the Streets of Long Beach and it went off as a huge success. So successful that Formula Drift has come back every year since this event. As you can see by some snapshots we posted things looked quite different back then with the series. You have the first photo with Ross Petty and his Rotary Power Mazda Rx-7. The second photo features Rhys Millen and his old Redbull Pontiac GTO. The third photo features Vaughn Gittin Jr. in his classic Ford Mustang. The fourth photo features Rod Millen and Tanner Foust in a tandem battle. The last photo is Sam Hubinette’s Dodge Viper in a wrap that only lasted for the 2006 Long Beach event. With all that the gallery features 245 photos from this great event from the past. Enjoy the look back into the past and remember 2010 Long Beach is just around the corner.

We got a small stock pile of the Sam Hubinette car that matches the Summit Point 2007 liverly. That was the only victory for the Dodge Charger in Formula Drift history before it was retired. This is the first Formula D car released by Hot Wheels to date. We have the car for sale in our Wrecked Magazine store but have a limited stock, act fast on this one.

The NHRA Winter Nationals is going on this weekend and I swung by the NHRA Museum which is on the Los Angeles Fairgrounds in Pomona. This is where ticket will call is for everyone attending the races this weekend. As you walk in and turn right you will find Sam Hubinette’s Dodge Charger that won the 2007 Summit Point race along with the 2008 International Mexico event.

The Bergenholtz Racing Honda CRX is also sitting next to Sam Hubinette’s Dodge Charger. This was pretty cool to see during a NHRA race week that these cars were on display front and center. Remember, during race weeks you can attend the museum for free of charge if you want to check the cars out regardless of if you buy a ticket to the race or not.

We also have a new product in the store that I will show you a day early since it involves the MOPAR Dodge Charger seen above. Hot Wheels has also decided to immortalize the car along with the NHRA with a MOPAR Dodge Charger Drift Car that looks just like the 2007 competition car.

I got a link today from the guys at Formula Drift which features a 30 minute+ recap of the 2009 season minus Irwindale Speedway. Some great behind the scenes content, announcing mix ups, and umbrella girls set the tone for this great thirty minute season review. Instead of hosting this thirty minute flick on Wrecked Magazine we figured we could shoot you over to the Vimeo page of the Formula Drift. Grab some popcorn and a cold beer because this one won’t be over anytime soon.

SuperDrift Demo in Chile 2009

We have been covering the Chile demo extensively over the last week or so. We finally got our hands on some footage with a well put together minute and a half demo. They guys busted out some multi car tandem action and really seem to enjoy demoing in South America.
