Formula D Seattle was just this previous weekend, and already, we're starting to see various rice media folk start releasing their video coverage from the event! First we're treated to a sweet montage of the whole event shot and edited by Dead Pirate Production's Ross Fairfield.

Next, we have a great piece of film work from the guys at Falken Tire. The man behind the shooting and editing definitely know how to make their already cool drivers, girls, and pit crew that much cooler!

And so with the release of these two videos, we now await the release of both Joshua Herron and Will Roegge's FD Seattle films. Who know's what those two nutters are up to!

We joined the "Mustang's Across America" tour after picking up this sweet 2010 GT500 at a local dealership in Oklahoma. The caravan of over 600 Mustangs was heading to the 45th Mustang Anniversary at Barber Motorsports Park. It was a great time and I will definately be doing the tour every five years as long as my schedule allows. More of this to follow. Keep in mind this is Barber's personal collection... we all need to be dairy farmers. MOOOOOOOOOOOO! The very first prototype...

I know I'm a bit late on here, however, I just wanted to share Round One in Long Beach from my eyes. You've heard the "better late then never" motto? Long Beach is an awesome way to start off the season; the energy of the city and the crowd just feels electric! The course is challenging and takes 100% commitment. One wrong move and you're parked for the weekend. In the weeks leading up to the event, I couldn't sleep because I was so excited to debut the 2010 Falken Tire...

Here are some pictures of me testing the 2010 Falken Tire Ford Mustang Monday in NC. Enjoy! I couldn't be any happier with where we are at this point in time with the car. My crew has done a great job. It seriously can pretty much drive backwards on high speed entries and it accelerates while in deep angle insanely fast! I cannot wait for everyone to see and hear this thing live. I am pumped for Rd. 1 in Long Beach! Rock out! - JR

As I write this, I am reliving my victory three weeks ago at Irwindale Speedway during the final round of Formula Drift, firstly I just want to say WOOOOOOHOOOYAAAA!!!! For me this victory was long awaited and well deserved if I don't say so myself. I've won two prestigious drifting events in the past: the 2005 D1GP USA vs. Japan and the 2007 D1GP World Championship. But I have yet to taste the glory and stand on the top of the podium in a Formula Drift event. The final round of FD proved...

A few weeks ago I was invited out to X Games 14 by my friend and rally driver Ken Block. He had mentioned he would like me to be an extra set of eyes as well as his technical advisor, not to mention I doubled as his "party sub" since he had to skip out on all the festivities until the weekend was over in order to perform at 110%. Even though I have an already insane schedule this month, how could I resist this opportunity?...

I was introduced to Ken Block at Formula Drift in the Streets of Long Beach 2006 from a mutual friend. Some of you might know Ken as the cofounder of DC Shoes, but most of you know as him as a pro rally driver and the maniac behind the wheel of a factory supported, Vermont Sport Cars built, Monster Energy Drink/Subaru Impreza WRX STI that jumped over 170 feet for the Stunt Junkies show. Since our introduction we have had a number of conversations and we have always talked about getting together to...

Formula Drift at Road Atlanta is a bit different than the other events in the series. You can definitely feel the difference when you're there. From the look and feel of Road Atlanta's unpaved parking lot (people have to park in the dirt or in the grass, so don't bring your limited Nike Dunks to Road A!), to Road Atlanta's version of Formula D grandstands (a steep dirt hillside), you can tell that the horseshoe section of Road Atlanta used for drifting is more of a track for drivers...
