DESKTOPS>> THAT 240Z

Filed under: 240Z, Desktops, Linhbergh Nguyen, slammed month  

You guys asked for it, so here it is. There really isn't much else that can be said about this car that already has been said throughout the interwebs. So, head over to the desktops section for a selection of these three wallpapers. Yuta's zombie 240z has stolen countless hearts since its debut at the Japanese Classic Car Show back in October ... ... so let's keep fantasizing about the car as a desktop wallpaper. It's definitely staying on my desktop for a long, long time. -Linhbergh...

BEHIND THE SCENES>> A CONVERSATION WITH THE ULTIMATE RICER

Filed under: Formula Drift, Driver, Linhbergh Nguyen, Matt Powers, Drivers Month, FD Irwindale09, interview  

Irwindale came, and Irwindale went. The tire smoke has settled and the modern gladiatorial spectacle known as Formula D has ended, but the ink is still drying from the tales written in the FD history books. However, there was one particular gladiator that stuck out from the rest. It was a story of "David and Goliath" proportions, retelling the classic children's book The Little Engine that Could. A student from San Diego California and the only privateer with zero sponsors, Matt Powers...

GALLERY>> PETIT LE MANS IMPRESSIONS

Filed under: Road Atlanta, Gallery, Petit Le Mans, Linhbergh Nguyen, Petit Le Mans09  

The sky was already emptying out its emotions when we arrived onto the track in the morning. Water literally flowed down the parking lots and access streets around the circuit, and as Rod and I hurried into the media tower, we tried our best to walk around deep rivers and ponds that quickly formed from the morning down pour. As we stepped into the dry and warm building, the sensation of wet socks was the first thing that greeted us. I looked down at my watch, and it wasn't even 7am yet.... The...

RANDOM SNAP>> THE SENSATION OF THE NIGHT

Filed under: Random Snap, Road Atlanta, Petit Le Mans, Linhbergh Nguyen, PLM  

Watching race cars getting flogged through a race track during the day is already a pulse pounding experience, but watching the same cars getting the same amount of abuse during the pitch dark is a completely different sort of visual, and audio sensation. All your senses are on edge as you wait for each car to fly through a corner at full speed. You start to identify the each car by their headlights and each cars' signature engine note as they pass through your corner. It is a truly an extraordinary...

GALLERY>> A LAST LOOK AT BONNEVILLE

Filed under: Gallery, Linhbergh Nguyen, Bonneville09  

The first impression you get when stepping onto the Salt is that the place is eerily clean. It feels sterile, serene, like you've stepped onto another planet. So, as we close up speed month, let's take one last look at the Bonneville salt flats. The design of a lot of these land speed roadsters remind me of World War 2 fighter planes. They're simply amazing. Early mornings are easily the best time of day to be out on the Salt. There are barely any spectators out, and the only thing you...

As we start to wind-down the summer of 2009, and gear ourselves up for the autumn and holiday season to come, let's take a look back at one of the greatest ricer events this year: the Just Drift/Ziptied All Star Bash '09! This event is more than just a mere drift event. All Star Bash is a weekend long party celebrating tire smoke, horse power, grassroots drifting style and flare, and a just enjoying sport for what it is --pure fun. It is also a weekend of celebration to the grassroots US...

RANDOM SNAP>> THE CURTAINS OPEN & THE DRAMA BEGINS

Filed under: Random Snap, Justin Pawlak, Linhbergh Nguyen, will roegge, fd sonoma09, Mike Essa  

What makes for a good drama? Upsets, the spreading of rumors, unplanned breakdowns, and let downs of expectations? Those are all things that can happen. And thats exactly what unfolded during the top 32 round at Formula D Sonoma at the famous Infineon Raceway. So, as we left the track, many questions loomed in our minds. And tomorrow, those questions will be answered... -Linhbergh Nguyen

GALLERY>> MOODY DAYS AT FD SEATTLE

Filed under: Gallery, Linhbergh Nguyen, art of, fd seattle09  

Seattle has quite a reputation. It is known for its eclectic mix residents, amazing food, the birth place of mainstream modern American coffee culture, the genesis of a man that took the rock genre from 80s hair metal to really what we know it as today, and a place where die hard drift fans reside. From the days coming up to the Seattle event, I heard a lot about the fans. Many say that these die hard fans rival that of Atlanta. Despite the threat from rain throughout the weekend, the fans came out...

GALLERY>> ALL MANNER OF STYLE @ THE SALT

Filed under: Gallery, events, Linhbergh Nguyen, Bonneville09  

The Bonneville Speedweek brings all sorts of people to the event. Some drive from far away lands in their hot rods that lack what many of us normally take for granted in our cars; cushioned seats, carpet, sound deadening, or even a roof. But the trip to "the Salt" in your home brewed hot rod or rat rod is a pilgramage to pure automotive glory. There's a huge sense that everyone that is at the event lives the lifestyle to it's fullest with style is one of the biggest aspects of the...
