Another season has passed for Formula DRIFT. Congratulations to Chris Forsberg and the team for a very well deserved championship. This event was one of the largest events ever with a sold out crowd of over 10,000 attending. I had over 250 media members alone apply for credentials…just crazy.

It was a very long and busy week from pre-event to event to post-event the work never seems to end. The Hundreds came out to check out what drifting is all about (showcasing the cross-over appeal of streetwear and motorsports.) We also brought out the Famous Stars and Straps stunt bike team and they did a demo for all the fans.

All of the FD drivers autographed a custom Sparco suit for the family of the late Shaun Carlson.

Some jumbo branding on-site

Ernie from NOS Energy looked nervous as Chris battled to make it into the Top 16, which would clinch his title. Even though Ryan Tuerck who was sitting in 2nd place would take the victory, Chris had enough points (just 6) to win the championship (there was a scenario that with some magic turnout they could of both potentially tied – glad that didn’t happen as it would of stirred up some controversy.) So from the judging tower I decided to text Ernie with, “Nervous?!” as he anxiously waited for the results of the battle. I don’t blame him for his anxiety as he has backed Chris Forsberg for years and it finally all paid of. Congrats to the NOS team.

Tears of joy…(sorry bro I had to post this shot…way too good)

Now that the season has officially wrapped up it’s time to head into SEMA, which should be very interesting.
