My Videos from the Mobil 1 NASCAR All-Star Weekend in Charlotte

May 28th, 2010

Here is a video of a twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo pulling out of Underground Racing in Charlotte, North Carolina. The car throws some revs that sound fantastic as it pulls out of the shop. This car ran 241mph at Texas Mile.

Here is a video from Michael Waltrip Racing in North Carolina. This was shot from the floor of the shop while we received and all access tour. They have quite an impressive operation over at MWR which run Toyota Camry’s in the Sprint Cup Series.

Here is a quick video of a race restart from our seats during the NASCAR All-Star race. Lowes Motor Speedway is not one of my favorite tracks but the shoot out style NASCAR race keeps the track entertaining. Enjoy the three videos uploaded and I have more content coming from the NASCAR All-Star weekend soon.

Updating My Toy Shelf in the Living Room

May 19th, 2010

Car

I bought a ton of new toys for my shelf recently and had to rearrange everything yesterday. With that being said I decided to document/blog about the upgrades to my living room shelf. I am going to add a new shelf soon to expand the collection. Soon, I am going to pick up all my old toy cars from when I was a little kid to add onto the shelf as well.

Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Maisto Model Car
I bought a Assembly Line Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR from Maisto which was a blast to build. This is my favorite Mercedes made in history so it was great to add to the shelf with gold wheels.

Kyle Busch - Cup Garage - Toy Shelf

Here is my Kyle Busch cup garage collection. My three large die cast cars are his #18 M&M car, Snickers Car (First Toyota to win NASCAR cup race), and the Vote M&M car. I am working on getting some more #18 car stuff for this section.

Kyle Busch - Toy Shelf

This is my other Kyle Busch garage for non cup die cast cars. The Doosan #20 Nationwide car won the Corona, Mexico event back in April 2008 with Kyle Busch behind the wheel. The #51 Electric Sunglasses car is Kyle Busch’s Prelude of a Dream car. The #30 NOS Energy Drink car in the middle is actually Stanton Barrett’s old Nationwide car from 2008 signed by him on the roof.

Falken Tire - Drifting Pits

Here is my Falken Tire Pit that I mocked up with some products I have collected over the years. I just got this sweet Falken Tire rig thanks to my friends over at Falken Tire recently! You can actually buy the Calvin Wan Infiniti G35 or Vaughn Gittin Jr. Ford Mustang die cast in our store.

Hot Wheels Cars

Here are some small Hot Wheels cars I have including a Nissan GT-R, Flat Black Lamborghini Gallardo, Tesla Roadster, a Hummer H2 that Toyo Tires gave us at MPMC, and Sam Hubinette’s Dodge Charger you can score in our Wrecked Magazine store as well.

Mazda 787B

The 1991 Le Mans winner was the Mazda 787B seen here that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans back in 1991. This was the last Japanese car to win the 24 Hour Le Mans race to this date in history. Bob Hernandez actually gave me this car at my Photo Gallery back in March and I jut love it.

Automotive Magazines

Here are some of my car magazines including some Super Street issues back from 2002. A full collection of C-16 Magazine, and a bunch of random Japanese magazines like StyleWagon and VIP Style.

Living Room - Toy Shekf

Here is the first shelf all together and complete for now. I am going to get a second shelf going soon and I need some more magazines! Let me know what you think.

My “Sign American” Issue 15 Editorial

May 14th, 2010

I’ve been contacted a good bit about my editorial in Issue 15 and most people seem to be puzzled if I am serious. I am dead serious on the fact because I feel it’s a true tragedy going on right now in American Drifting. I have never been one to ruse people with “Buy American” catch phrases or anything in my life just because you know “American is better,” or anything of that nature. I am quite the supporter politically of the dieing “free market” where things are purchased based on quality and merit…..not just from where it is made.

The big issue I am trying to bring up here is not trying to call some people in the series out or point any really fingers at people in the sport. I just want my voice to be heard that so many talented young American kids all over the United States exist and are being looked over with no logical reasoning other than laziness. If your a team owner…..go visit a local grassroots event in your area (where you are stationed they have events close by, I promise) and see what the scene has to offer. I just think at the end of the day I am verbalizing something that everyone else notices but won’t say outside closed doors.

Let’s look for example at the 2009 Formula D Pro Am finals at Irwindale Speedway to finish off my rant. The top three guys at that event were Mike Pollard, Ian Fournier, and Nikolay Konstantinov. Of those three guys none of them have run both Formula Drift events in 2010 and between all three drivers just one of them has been to a Formula Drift event period, Ian Fournier at Long Beach. Of those same three guys one of them has run both rounds of the D1GP Japan series making the event attendance double in D1GP Japan compared to Formula D in the states. Just some things to think about before the 2011 season gets here.

Just Got Home from Spring Matsuri – Some Handheld Camera [VIDEO]

May 4th, 2010

These are two quick teaser videos I shot with my Canon SD1100 photo camera while getting a ride along at Ebisu’s famous Nishi Short Circuit. Wrecked Magazine will have some amazing full video coverage up soon thanks to NOS Energy Drink. For now, here is Chris Forsberg in front of our S14 in that white 180sx with the exhaust bouncing on the ground.

Here is a second video I shot while riding with Chris in his black S14 aas we chased down Andrew from PowerVehicles.com in the video. These are a great preview to how awesome the whole weekend of Spring Matsuri was! A huge thanks is owed from me and Chris Forsberg to everyone at Powervehicles.com and Allen from Tomei for really making our trip amazing!
