this car is so full of win…check out the full feature over at Speedhunters
What’s up SpeedHunters! I hope you have been playing Sudoku and eating lots of protein over the past few months or something, because I’ve been working hard to blow your minds this year!
This year I’m very excited to drive the full Formula D season, in my same s14 from last year with some cool changes. First of all, I’m now a Team Need for Speed driver and I will be on Nitto tires.
These are big changes from my grassroots program last year, but I’m very excited and thankful for the support Need for Speed and Nitto are giving me and I think you guys should be too. Basically this means I’m going to rock you harder and more often than last year. In addition to FD I will be running All Star Bash and other grassroots events.
Pretty awesome to see San Diego representing…good interview by Lindbergh Nguyen too
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 pumped up the volume to eleven and gave his all during the last round of the 2009 Formula Drift series. When the dust finally settled, the little green S14 that could had fought its way to the top four. The only thing that stopped it was one of the mightiest gladiators of them all: Tanner Faust. Still, Matt Powers walked away with his best ever result this season. Finishing fourth is definitely one step closer to the top of the podium!
