Headed to Texas this past weekend, Texas Motor Speedway to be exact.
This was for a Formula Drift Great 8 competition before the Indy Car Twin 275’s…
It was a quick trip, hanging, MC’ing, working, sliding and grindin…

Myself & Formula Drift judge & my good friend Anthony Angelo…

This car, Tony B.’s Ford Mustang, would catch fire on Friday night before the Camping World Truck series, make SPEED channel not exactly the way ya wanna make TV but oh well!

Here’s the damage I snapped a pic on Saturday… Fuel filter came off and combusted..

Jeff Abbott the biggest dude in the smallest car, great dude!

Love these Lotus Indy Cars!

Wait what?!?

More technology than the NASA program…

Michael Essa’s BMW Z4 powered by E46 M3 turbo engine…

Track tunnel, with cars zooming over…

Slammin’ mojito with dinner!

WOW!

Texas beer from a Texas dude, thanks Stu!
Ruby Red from Shiner…it’s got grapefruit in it, interesting

Here’s Stu’s ride, LS powered S13, like the missing fender!

I get every Formula Drift carbon fiber trophy, YET I NEVER get to keep them…

The Great 7 lined up, Pat Mourdaunt broke so it’s Tony B., Jeff Abbott, Fredric Aasbo, Kyle Mohan, Roland Gallagher, Joon Maeng and Michael Essa.

Fredric Aasbo wins!
Abu Dhabi & now here in Texas, congrats to the Need For Speed driver, he did a phenomenal job chasing and he looked great in his Supra again!

Would you please stay off the freaking painted grass… Sorry!

Aasbo’s celebratory smokeout!

Oh boy, Texas likes to rear end people but leaves Doug with his license plate as a souvenir…

Flight home, sat next to some cool people…
Tara from Indy Car and window seat Nick Richmond #79 for the San Diego Chargers, good convo, GREAT people!
I love talking to people on the plane because ya never know what you’re gonna get and guess what I’m an extrovert, deal with it!

Let The Good Times Roll!
