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.

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!

My “King Bed” from the Holiday Inn

April 18th, 2010

I know times are tough these days but I would of settled for one queen bed! That foam rectangle you see is wedged between the “two beds” so you don’t notice the huge gap in your King Bed. Well it didn’t quite work but thanks Holiday Inn. You can read more about my adventures like this on Yelp, follow below!

ID Agency Open House x My Art Gallery – Photos by Bob Hernandez

March 26th, 2010

ID Agency

Last night there was a great open house at the ID Agency in DTLA. I had some photos featured in the art gallery along with Estevan Oriol and Mo Satarzadeh. All three of us were on the 2009 Gumball 3000 rally and had some photos featured from it along with some of our other photography.

ID Agency - Joey Redmond

Here is a display of my photography hung up on the wall.

Here is the DJ with a great crowd going behind him at the Open House. Mo’s photography is stage left and you can see my Vaughn Gittin Jr. print over on the right.

Here is a close up of my T-Pain photograph I took years ago at his house next to Vaughn Gittin’s 2005 Sonoma drifting picture.

ID Agency

Here I am receiving Ricky’s special beer delivery. Not only is Ricky great at beer delivery he is an excellent photographer that does tons of work for Wrecked Magazine! The Corona was for him and the Bud Light was for me. It ended up being a great night and I really appreciate all the support of people who came out. Thanks to Bob Hernandez for these photos he put up on Facebook and I will make new posts when other people send me or put up some photographs.

The Five Kinds of People who Play FPS

March 3rd, 2010

The guys at COED Magazine released a hilarious list of the five people you will be lucky enough to encounter while playing games such as Modern Warfare 2. Since I play with quite a few people often in the drifting industry I figured we would all find this hilarious.

1. The Camper
2. The Cancer
3. The Veteran
4. The General
5. The Complainer

Fantasy Drift Launched Finally!

March 1st, 2010

I am sure you have seen we launched Fantasy Drift over at Wrecked Magazine and it is one of the most exciting projects I have worked on since we launched this website back in 2007. The concept was a personal vision of mine after being hooked into fantasy NHL hockey and fantasy NASCAR.

Now all of the die hard Formula Drift fans can enjoy a great game to play while following the 2010 series. The video above walks you through the registration and draft process. If you still have questions or are confused on any element of the Fantasy Drift please use the website contact form at the top right of the site to ask any questions.

I just want to thank everyone who contributed thoughts, marketing tips, game building logic, or time to this project. Everyone at PM Lifestyle was a huge help on this project especially Jason Small who single handily coded and created the logic my concept to a reality. My last thanks goes to all the media who blasted out our project: MotorWorldHype, UrbanRacer, Fatlace, Formula D, and everyone else!

This second video walks you through the process of how to play the game once your draft is complete in April. Bookmark this video since you will need it to really play the game at 100%.

A Day In The Life with Me – February 2nd

February 9th, 2010

Lucky the Cat

Before this website I use to be really good at life blogging and lately I am just way to busy to get around to it. So last Thursday I had a really full day so I made sure to document it for the blog. The first photo above is Lucky who is my roommates cat. He is quite a character and greeted me before I left in the morning with him in the “play dead” position. Funny story actually is that the cat use to belong to Daijiro Yoshihara.

Chick-Fil-A

I headed down to Orange County for the first leg of my day and off Highway 55 there happens to be a Chick-Fil-A which I grabbed some breakfast at. They only have a few of these in California so when I am near one it’s a must for breakfast.

1957 Porsche

1957 Porsche

I saw this 1957 Porsche Carrera on Highway 55 heading to Hyundai. This thing looked flawless and was well maintained and cared for by the owner. It had a great sound to it as he flew by me down the highway.

Hyundai North America - California

My first stop was Hyundai North America to pick up some Genesis seats. Miles was a great help finding some seats for a new project we are doing. We will have more on project coming to the website soon.

AMG Black Mercedes

I had to drop off my Mercedes carburetor to get rebuilt since it has been having some issues after it idles for a few minutes. In the parking lot is a red Mercedes CLK63 AMG BlackĀ  that looked fantastic. A white M3 was also in the corner of the parking lot when I swung by.

Super Street Magazine

After dropping off the Mercedes parts in Orange County I headed up to Manhattan Beach to shoot some Wrecked Magazine voice overs. Peter from Modified Magazine lives at the apartment we were recording at and had this nostalgic Super Street Magazine cover hanging in the dining room.

Wrecked Magazine Voice Over

Wrecked Magazine Voice Over

Nik did an awesome job with our Wrecked Magazine voice overs. She is the voice of a tutorial we are releasing later this month. This second photo is Nik engrossed in deep thought about her favorite Formula Drift driver Rhys Millen.

Los Angeles Traffic

After dropping off Nik and heading into Downtown Los Angeles I found some traffic of course.

Sixth Street Bridge - Los Angeles
Here I am crossing the Sixth Street Bridge heading into Los Angeles. This bridge is always empty and has a distinct look and feel that I just love as you drive into downtown.

Downtown Los Angeles
Coming off the Sixth Street bridge you get a great view of Downtown Los Angeles. It’s also not very often you see clouds around Los Angeles so I really liked this shot.

Forza Motorsport 3 Xbox 360

Forza Motorsport 3 Xbox 360

Sitting on a desk when I walked in to my meeting was a Forza Motorsport 3 Xbox 360. Very few of these were made and it features an Audi R8 and a carbon fiber styled front.

Halo 3 ODST Xbox 360

Snoop Dog x Famous Stars Straps - 10 Year

I also scored two gifts while visiting including Halo 3 ODST and a Snoop Dog x Famous Stars Straps 10 Year Anniversary Party t-shirt. The photograph of Snoop Dog was shot by Estevan Oriol.

ID Agency
The last shot comes from the ID Agency where some awesome classic cars are sitting right now. My favorite is this blue Chevrolet truck you can see in this shot. After leaving here it was off to home in lots of traffic.
