Falken Tire motorsports manager Jonathon Bradford posted on his personal Facebook today that the Falken Nissan 350z built by ASD and campaigned by Tyler McQuarrie is now up for sale. The car will be hitting Racingjunk.com soon he reports but reach out to Falken and snag it early. This car was never actually crashed badly in its drift history unlike most Falken Tire cars of the past. The car is currently in Southern California and would make a great turn key or starter Formula Drift build.
Here is some great coverage of the Clubloose Spring Moves event that happened over the past weekend at Englishtown Raceway Park. The drift season is finally back out of hibernation after the winter in the north east. Also note you can now purchase prints of all the photographs in the gallery. Some old timers like Eric O’Sullivan were out at the track and some new drivers with good skills and great looking cars.

Jhonnathan Castro’s Nissan 350z hood flew up during a media day test run and he stayed in the gas and powered around the Streets of Long Beach racetrack. Jhonnathan Castro was on a SPEED tv show this off season and is looking to adjust better to life in Formula Drift with his second season underway with his same 350z chassis. Hopefully his team can keep a better latch on the hood for competition this weekend!
Chris Forsberg delivered the Ksport 350z to Corey Hosford in Arizona this past week after building it out in Maryland at MA Motorsports. Chris delivered the car and did some shakedown testing at Bondurant with Corey Hosford in his Nissan 350z. The video is pretty entertaining and shows Corey running a mini Long Beach course looking better than we have ever seen him before in Formula Drift. Do you think he can perform at a top level this season!?
Corey Hosford invited the guys from State of Stance out to Arizona where he took them out on the town, a visit to his title sponsor KSport, and Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. A seven minute video giving you a preview of what a weekend hanging out with Corey Hosford would be like. His 350z is currently under the knife at Chris Forsberg Racing getting a complete work over but it will be ready soon!

Kevin Phillips is a southern Florida native who loves surfing and skateboarding. His 350z has a big hole in the hood and he is shooting for a Formula Drift license in 2013. This volume is kicking of a great video series for the 2013 season starting off with a shake down day at Desoto. We will keep an eye out for Kevin during the 2013 season!

We highlighted a rumor early last week about Corey Hosford and the KSport Nissan 350z heading under the Chris Forsberg Racing umbrella and that is now official for 2013! Ksport issued a press release early this morning making the whole deal officially official. Here is what Forsberg added, “I’m very happy to add Corey to our program. He has a very charismatic and positive attitude and is an excellent driver. I see a lot of potential in forming an alliance with Corey and Nick Jackson (of Ksport) and bringing on the Team KSPORT Racing Nissan 350Z. Our combined efforts should create opportunities for faster development and shared resources.”
From what we understand at Wrecked the Ksport Nissan 350z has been shipped out to MA Motorsports for a complete rebuild/refresh and final preparations for the 2013 season. Who thinks this will improve the performance of Corey Hosford for the new 2013 drift season?
The KSport Nissan 350z driven by Corey Hosford will be managed, transported, and maintained by Chris Forsberg Racing for the 2013 season. Professional stunt driver Corey Hosford plans to gain a competitive edge in the new season by teaming up with the most successful Z driver and team owner in drifting history. This two team program should be pretty interesting with an orange 370z and orange 350z teamed up on the grid with each other who both will be running Hankook Tires to complete the new upcoming season. We here the car is on its way to MA Motorsports/CFR right now for some 2013 preparations. We hear more information will be coming out later this week!
Putting an end to 2012 couldn’t have been more entertaining. Streetwise Drift, based out of Charlotte, NC ended this year strong. The End of Year Bash at Metrolina Expo in Charlotte, NC was an event for all types of car enthusiasts to get out and have some fun. Ride alongs, covered car corral, and local vendors were just a few of the things this event offered.
Most drivers used this day for seat time, and they got lots of it. Cars were making runs all day with no breaks in between, one after another. There were no competitions, prizes, or anything of that matter, but there it was sure a lot of fun. This event marked the end of Streetwise Drift’s 4th year in operation, growing more and more over the past years. Congratulations Streetwise Drift!
