Pre-Running the BAJA500

Monday, May 25th, 2009

I got invited to go down and pre-run the BAJA500 with last year BAJA1000 Champion, Roger Norman. Last year I had the opportunity to do it in the Baja Challenges class with BFGoodrich as a sponsor. This was a whole lot different for sure. Roger’s Pre runner got 700hp and state to the art performance.

Mopar out of the Drift

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

It was not a big surprise getting the message that Mopar was bailing out. But I was definitely hoping that they were going to stay for the rest of the season.
I understand their situation due to the economic status for Chrysler. So the fact that they tried so hard to maintain the drift program was really great to see.
NuFormz got two vipers one Charger and the Challenger. So we got plenty of cars to give new sponsors some great publicity on.
We are planing on competing in New Jersey with the viper. The truck is already over there with the Viper ready to rock.
In the mean time we will reach out to some companies we have relationships with and go from there.
I WILL Drift Ya Later
