Hello Speedhunters! This is my first event Blog of 2010 and I was hoping to be writing it in better spirits but to be honest I’m a little pissed of with my result from Long Beach last weekend. At unloading time on Thursday I was super confident and had a great feeling for the upcoming event. The Falken Tire Saturn Sky looks so good this year in
Those of you who are "friends" with me on Facebook will know that last week Speedhunter's editor Riley Vigier and I were crunching to finishing up two videos for the 2009 SEMA Show.
