Look at this one, a quick update on the Darren McNamara machine. It does look like no more Sears Auto Center on this car. It looks like Mobil 1, Sparco, Brian Crower, Sparco, ASD, SSR wheels, GoPro Camera, Wilwood Brakes, and it looks like one sticker I just cannot read.
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.
The guys at Team Falken are out at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina getting some practice time in before the new season gets underway. A quick glance at the snapshot you might not notice anything out of place but over too the far right is Darren McNamara’s car in what appears to be a non Sears Auto Center wrap. Just from this snapshot I can tell you that it’s the best looking we have seen this Saturn Sky to date. Good luck with the testing Team Falken!

Las Vegas Motor Speedway is one of the best motorsports facilities in the United States by a mile. Vegas Drift took over the Bullring Lot for this event. This marked the first Pro Am Round of 2010 held by the guys at Vegas Drift and we loved every minute of the event. A fierce top 16 battle winded the day down to show off some great talent from the region. Thanks to Ricky Cervantes for taking all of our photos at the event!

We have a new blogger in the Drivers Lounge by the name of Tyler McQuarrie. He currently is wheeling around the Falken Tire Nissan 350z convertible. The 2009 season he finished in third place and we think he will do even better for the 2010 season. He already has a great introduction posted up to go ahead and check it out. Don’t forget to RSS/Bookmark/Visit Daily to see what Tyler has going on.

XDC just sent out an e-mail that the voice of Formula Drift is now also sharing his voice with the Xtreme Drift Circuit. He will be making his start at Irwindale and screaming his way straight through the whole 2010 series. Congrats to the guys at XDC and Jarod DeAnda for the new partnership.
This just hit the Internet which is a Royal Purple x Iron Man 2 car for Stephan Verdier coming into the 2010 season. Not a bad move since at one point during the off season the car was up for sale. The winner of Round 6 Sonoma now has a much better looking car wrap than 2009 and still retains his Cooper Tire sponsorship.

Hella Flush 3.5 with Calvin Wan
Watch this video featuring Calvin Wan along with a ton of other cars you will probably recognize from Hellaflush 3.5 team tandem drift event. The event was at Buttonwillow and featured teams of guys drifting it up around the Buttonwillow course which happens to be in the middle of no where. A great video production that has to be one of the best I have witnessed in quite a minute.

One of the most boring yet entertaining races you will probably ever witness pairs some celebrities and pro drivers together. Last years race featured the main character from That’s So Raven, Alex Trebek, and Bucky Lasek. It happens over the Long Beach Grand Prix weekend which is a few days after Formula Drift Long Beach. Check him out in action, our money is on a Tanner Foust victory without a doubt.
Joon Maeng Testing First Time Mazda Rx-8
Some video footage was located of Joon Maeng drifting it up in the Full Tilt Poker Mazda Rx-8. He is looking pretty good for his first time in this car. I spoke with him last night at a Mazda event where he told me the biggest difference in this car and his 240sx is the throttle modulation. When he could be driving his 240sx flat out the Rx-8 is more like 30% throttle. Sounds like quite the adjustment but he seems to be handling it well.
