Some of you guys may have heard the news today that Shaun Carlson passed away over the weekend. Shaun was the owner of NuFormz Racing and was a pioneer in both drag racing and later in drifting while working with Samuel Hubinette.
Shaun will be sorely missed by everyone in the community and it won't be the same having Formula D events without him.
Here's sending our best to wishes to all of Shaun's family and friends from everyone at Speedhunters.

Hubinette: " Heyyy... what's up guys! So... you got an extra racing suit that fits me? " It's been a while since people have seen me post up here on Speedhunters; I've been on a much needed vacation - traveling, relaxing, and working on other projects. Anyway, I received a shocking phone call this evening from one of the guys I do business with at Mopar. Apparently, due to unfavorable financial issues, Mopar has been forced to withdraw from their sponsorship and support of Samuel...

The 2008 SEMA show is fast approaching, and as the big show draws closer, builders are starting to show off this year's project cars. The new Dodge Challenger will certainly be one of the most popular platforms at this year's show and a number of tuners have already shown their SEMA Challengers. The latest player is Chrysler itself who just unveiled their Dodge Challenger SRT10 Concept. As the name suggests, the Challenger has been outfitted with the 600hp 8.4L V10 from the Dodge Viper and becomes that latest in a long line of Mopars to be stuffed with the big ten-banger over the years....

Right now, I'm sitting in my hotel room in Frankfurt Germany, with the air conditioning turned up so cold I think my laptop might have icicles forming on it soon - just the way I like it! Walking through the airport in Frankfurt, I saw quite a few people who sort of look like Samuel Hubinette! After all, he looks very European (obviously - he's from Sweden!), even though the car he drives in Formula D competition is straight up American muscle. So to keep within the theme of all the drifting...

Maybe I am am wierd, but lately I have been having these strange fantasies about cruising around Tokyo in a super loud muscle car with lumpy cam. When it comes to the Tokyo muscle car scene, a woman named Hiroko Sakuma has things on lock. She is the owner of the '70 Cuda seen in this photo that I took at this year's JCCA New Year Meeting in Odaiba. She also owns a Mopar specialty store in Tokyo and publishes a Japanese muscle car magazine called IGNITE, (hrm maybe that deserves its own post...

With all the hype surrounding the new Dodge Challenger, it's the perfect time to enjoy some retro Mopar coolness. I saw this new '69 Dodge Superbee resin model from Bent Rod Garage on Jae Bueno's blog and I thought it was one of the coolest collectables I have seen in a long time. The models are inspired by the famous Dodge "Scat Pack" advertising from the '60s and '70s. I would love to have one of these sitting in my desk. No matter what sort of cars you are into, there's...

In addition to being known for its automobiles, Japan is also quite famous for its fashion scene. Places like Harajuku and Shibuya in Tokyo are known worldwide for their cutting edge fashion trends. When you put cars and fashion in Japan together, you get Motor Style, a new magazine from Neko Publishing. I picked up the first issue not too long ago and I am very impressed with it. Among the features in the inaugural issue is one on Nobuhiko Kitamura's Hysteric Glamour clothing line. All of the...
