BloodBath Part 1!

Hey everyone! I wanted to take the time and post up some of the recent progress from our new team! As many of you already know, I will be working with MA Motorsports for the 2012 season! They have been hard at work preparing our all new 2012 Nissan 370Z chassis for Formula Drift. We will still be running the same Nissan Motorsports 5.6L V8, however we are pushing for more horsepower this season. One of the amazing tasks that MA took on was to spec out the engine and address rebuilding them. In their search, they were able to get in touch with the original engine builder who built these engines. Low and behold, he had numerous sets of pistons, rods, bearings, ported heads, and so on. Now our engine program is fully insured!

Back at the shop the guys at MA were finishing up the chassis work. We wanted to keep the car similar to last year’s chassis but with a few changes to improve its performance as well as reliability. We started with a cage just like last years car, then we added A and B pillar gussets to strengthen up the chassis some more.

Dry Sump tank mounted and covered up.

Then, a makeover to the rear. Last year our car was ALL steel in the rear, which helped keep some weight back there as well as retained the 100% full chassis of a 370Z. But with the level of driving going up and up, we need to prepare our car for dragging the walls! We opted to cut the steel quarter panels out for easier maintenance in light collisions, as well as knock off the whole back end and replaced the bumper with this fabbed up aluminum support!

And one of the biggest upgrades for this season is the development of a completely new lower control arm for the front to make more steering angle! I’ll just leave you with this…

I cannot even say how excited I am for this year! I am in the final steps of packing up the rest of my life and hitting the road in less than 2 weeks for the east coast! More updates soon!

Hey everyone, I recently added another stop to our 2012 calender. On September 22 I will be attending Houston’s Park & Party Lifestyle Festival in Houston, Texas. I am very excited to be a part of this new event and look forward to being there! Check out this link for more info.

My good friend Jarod DeAnda is always rocking his Native Shoes. I can understand why since he lives on the surface of the sun in Gilbert, AZ! Native Shoes is most known for their rubberized aerated design to keep your feet cool and dry and any condition. I was always jealous of him, that is, until I got my own pair! I went with The Millers in Beaver Brown. They are an excellent alternative to flip flops and I love wearing them!

However, it’s not always summertime. I also got a pair of Native’s new Jimmy boot in Bunker Green! These waterproof boots came just in time for my move out to Maryland. Where in just a few weeks I will be stomping around in the snow, and then mud and rivers in the spring. I have not owned a pair of boots since I moved to California (why would you ever need them?) and I cannot wait to put these suckers to use!

Sit back and watch this quick teaser for the video that is to be released in January 2012. We push the limits of drifting to a level that has never been seen before in America!!! Support your local Bloodmaster on Facebook!!!

Chris Forsberg Racing is excited to announce a new partnership with MA Motorsports of Baltimore, MD for the 2012 season. The new CFR crew will be headed by Brian Wilkerson and Ray Shake who have over 20 years of fabrication and tuning experience which will give CFR the edge needed to compete for another Formula Drift Championship.

“I have known Brian and Ray for years and I am extremely confident in their skills and abilities to keep CFR at the top of our game,” said Chris Forsberg, owner/driver of the NOS Energy Drink 370Z on Hankook Tires.

“We are excited to work with Chris Forsberg Racing this year and look forward to an awesome 2012 Formula Drift Season,” said Shake.

Chris and the team are looking forward to being back on the east coast, where Chris grew up. As you read this, CFR is making the cross country adventure from Huntington Beach, CA to their new home at MA Motorsports. Be sure to follow CFR on Twittter & Facebook for the latest updates from the road and on track.

I cannot even describe how beautiful this video is. Ryan Davis is a mastermind when it comes to capturing new angles and different views of drifting in his short time involved with the sport. He sets this video ahead from others as he adds color and depth beyond the standard. Click below to see for yourself.

The guys over at DSport Magazine just released this amazing 6 page feature of our NOS Energy Drink Nissan 370Z. They highlight many different aspects of the vehicle however they seemed to be quite fond of our Nissan Motorsports 5.6L V8 engine. Scroll down to see for yourself!

This is a very sad day. I have just heard the terrible news that Dan Wheldon has passed away today during the Las Vegas IRL race. It is awful to hear that another great racer has died while doing what he loves.

Our thoughts go out to his wife and 2 little kids.

A great pic taken by Jose Martinez at the Formula Drift banquet. Could not be happier coming back to win 3rd Place Overall! Congratulations to Daijiro for winning his first championship and to Justin Pawlak for his best finish in Formula Drift!
