We hope to see everyone at NOS Energy Drink’s Forum Fest this Sunday, 7.18.10 @ Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA…Remember the event is free for all spectators!
For all you car show participants! Here is a sneak peek of the LIMITED EDITION NOS Energy Drink Car show BELTS.
Every category winner will take home one of these lovely belts instead of a trophy. Hold it high and wear it proud to show that You made it…..You made it!
If you didn't know, now you will know...
Formula Drift the TV show is voiced over by myself and Ryan Sage co-founder of Formula Drift, Sorry to expose the man behind the curtain but that's what's up...
So I headed out to LA to rendezvous with Ryan Sage in LA and while there I got to catch up with my friend and NOS Energy Drink sponsored Formula Drift driver Chris Forsberg...
Mic, Me and NOS...
The Essentials... protected by INCIPIO Blackberry, iPhones, Macbook and of course NOS
While out in LA I had some work to do in Orange County at Barrett Jackson...
Chris and his wife Mich came out, it was at Orange County Fair so they cracked open all the vendors, it was how they say "ON!!!!!"
DEAL WITH IT! Funnel cake!
NOS and I need to build a "SLED" replace the LV top and interior with a blue canvas top and we're in biz with this sled...
I love wagons so maybe we can rock a wagon....
That's a wrap! Thanks Formula Drift, the Official Energy Drink of Formula Drift....
Yesterday we had the chance to go out to Irwindale Speedway to film with the Bro Show. The Bro Show is a series of webisodes that is hosted by Break.com. It was a ton of fun, and I got to showcase drifting to a few new fans, and hopefully thousands more to follow when the video gets released on their website!
Click Here to see some pics from the guys over at Wrecked Magazine that came out to shoot a little behind the scenes…

Hey guys! Well you might have heard about it already on speedhunters.com and some other websites, but a couple weeks ago we shot our first ever tv commercial!
Chris Forsberg... our 2009 Formula D champ...is featured in the spot and does some really NOSome driving =) I can't give too much away because we want you to be totally surprised when you see it, but we think you guys are gonna love it! We shot it out at Horse Thief in Cali... a long, and surprisingly COLD and windy day in the Mojave desert!
The spot will air for the first time on March 28 during the NASCAR Sprint Cup race, so keep your eyes peeled!
It's one of the first commercials to fully feature drifting, so we're just happy to put out some content that we're really passionate about =)
Check out these stills from our day at the shoot:

as the year comes to an end, i started thinking about all the great things that happened to me this year and the awesome people i met along the way...and not to mention how we dominated everything this year! one of the things that hit me the most was how my lifestyle has jumped from every form of motorsports out there, and every form of "car life" in the automotive space .. from imports to euros, domestics and more.
but one thing that i didn't mention is the art form of our "car life." kenny cano was introduced to me by my best friend eugene shepard @ localscenemedia.com ... at first glance you would never think that he is an artist or let alone a film major!! after a whole summer kenny has grown closer to me, my brother and my life. not only is he a great friend but i dare say the best editor on the east coast to call into rank with will roegge, linhbergh, josh h, and more... "but i am still on TEAM LINHBERG" ... ohh yea ... and not to mention our sexy TEAM PANDA crew 2 person car club hahah (his bmw is white and black and so is my SC)
this video is dedicated to the people in our "car LIFE". watch the video, i just never want it to stop. with out people like this we would never be able to express ourselves ... thank you !
ernie .. TEAM LINHBERG (haha jk)
