The Bergenholtz Racing RX8 is not only getting a new driver for the 2010 Formula Drift season, but a new sponsor and an exterior makeover. The car was unveiled this morning, as new driver Joon Maeng serenaded the streets of downtown Long Beach to the sounds of race-tuned rotary....

I just got back from the Formula Drift offices in downtown Long Beach where Bergenholtz Racing announced the new driver of their Mazda RX8 for the 2010 Formula Drift season. I arrived at the office to find some of my fellow media guys anticipating the big news. Who would be replacing Justin Pawlak in the Bergenholtz RX8 this year? ...

Well here’s my first blog on Speedhunters. Our beloved CRX was just inducted into the NHRA museum and it is quite an honor. Thank you to Tony Thacker and the NHRA for recognizing our efforts in Sport Compact Drag Racing. Tony Thacker created a display in the west wing of the museum entitled “The Two Brothers Exhibit”. There is another two-brother racecar right next to the CRX from the 40’s and 50’s that did innovative things with a racecar in the salt-flats....

For some reason, people have a tendency to underestimate Bergenholtz Racing. That's a mistake. Big mistake. Bergenholtz Racing was the most successful privateer drag racing team in the NHRA Sport Compact Series, using unrelenting determination and ingenuity to clown the big dollar budget of GM over and over and over again. Don't believe it? There's a display case full of Wallies (the coveted NHRA Wally Parks trophy) at Ron Bergenholtz's Orange County home to prove it. Ron B and the...

I've been reading about the legendary Bergenholtz brothers in magazines since something like 1996 or 1997. Do the math... that was over 10 years ago! When I think about those days, which some consider to be "the glory days" of import drag racing and car shows in the USA, it trips me out. I can't believe it was so long ago; 10 years sounds like such a long period of time. Then again, 10 years isn't that long, when you put it in context with the grand scheme of motorsports in...
