Purdue case mod in photos

Pictures tell the story so much better in this case. The Purdue University Gamers Group needed a case for their router set-up, and they decided to make it NOSome!

Check it out!

Purdue University gets their game on!

After a big weekend with the largest collegiate karting event in the country with the Purdue Grand Prix last weekend Purdue continued the fun this past weekend with Boiler Frag 2.0.

 
Router case for Boiler Frag 2.0. Work in progress, but looking good so far!

This event doubled in size from last semester, and they have found a great home on-campus in the Purdue Armory. The pictures truly tell the story from a 100 person LAN to the console gaming competition.

Bryan Clauson builds momentum heading into Chili Bowl

Whoever said that the racing slows down in the winter time never met Bryan Clauson. Bryan, after returing from New Zealand, winning two races at the International Midget and Sprintcar event heads to Tulsa, Oklahoma and the Chili Bowl this week.

 
Bryan will be driving the 39c NOS Energy Drink midget at the 25th annual Chili Bowl January 11-15th. The Chili Bowl is the traditional winter midget race that hosts over 200 race rigs, and dominates the world of motorsports every January.

So make sure to check back throughout the week for updates on Bryan and all of the action at the Chili Bowl Nationals.

Over the Thanksgiving Weekend when so many people were at home enjoying a great meal Bryan Clauson won the Turkey Night Grand Prix and the USAC National Drivers Championship.

What this means is he will now be positioned to compete in the oval races for the Firestone Indy Lights Series in 2011.

Check out some additional coverage on this great weekend for Bryan Clauson.

NOS Midwest Drift Union Series Round 1 Coverage

Round One-Midwest Drift Union, at Kil Kare Speedway from Mark Lenardon on Vimeo.

It was a great start to the NOS Midwest Drift Union season at Kilkare Speedway. Everyone unloaded, suited up and tire'd up as they made it to the smooth ran tech booth manned by Zerolift Auto Lab. Jon and the Chusk numbered and bannered the drivers up, and we were ready to rock well before the track opened at 10am.

 
As Greg Schartron and Mark Lenardon took to the center of the track, Round One of the NOS Midwest Drift Union Formula D Pro-Am Series was on!

Qualifications began in the afternoon. All drivers were judged on line/speed/angle with two Formula D licensed drivers in attendance helping with the judging. Qualifications were not as foretold during the practice session, but it was turning out to become a fierce line up for actual comp.

 
 
The final had everyone on edge. Whether you were a fan of one of the drivers or you just came to see the action, you knew this was not going to be an easy exhibition. This day each driver was on his best and dug deep for this finale. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!! Clinton Florczyk put together amazing runs to win and is now points leader of the NOS MIDWEST DRIFT UNION FORMULA D PRO AM SERIES.
