Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Tanner Foust DESTROYS World record for longest jump
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011Thanks to some friends on Facebook for posting this link. Tanner Foust “retired” from drifting to pursue other projects. Who knew that he’d be flying through the air on a real life Hot Wheels track, to absolutely CRUSH the world record. WOW! Thanks to the folks at hotwheels for making this look so damn cool for those of us who grew up launching cars and trucks off of our own homemade ramps from that orange track. Although, mine never went 332 feet, and I never had a 90′ tall ramp either.

Friday, May 27th, 2011Camel Race – Wadi Rum, Jordan
Friday, May 27th, 2011This video is for those of you that are unaware of Camel Racing. Filmed in high def from Wadi Rum Jordan, this is an opportunity to catch some some behind the scenes footage of an event that you will most likely never witness in person. Camel racing is a popular sport in India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Australia, and Mongolia, & these suckers reach speeds of about 40 mph.
This event however is slightly different from the norm when it comes to conventional camel racing. These camels are being radio-controlled, rather then being ridden by jockeys, hence the reason you see vehicles following so closely in the distance.
Take note of the way that these guys choose to slow the camels down, they are crazy!

Me Love You Long Time – Throwback
Thursday, May 26th, 2011
Full Metal Jacket is a 1987 war film by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford. It stars Matthew Modine, Vincent D’Onofrio, and former U.S. Marine Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey. The title refers to the full metal jacket bullet used by infantry riflemen. The film follows a platoon of U.S. Marines through their training and depicts some of the experiences of two of them in the Tet Offensive (1968) during the Vietnam War. (Wiki)
This movie rocked and the following scene will forever be in my head, as one of my all time favorites. Full Metal Jacket had a cult following and still does to this day, if you haven’t seen it, I suggest you make it a point!!!
Joker (Matthew Modine ) and Rafterman (Kevyn Major Howard) are sitting down and are approached by a Vietnamese hooker (Papillon Soo Soo) who offers them everything they want for fifteen dollars.
Da Nang Hooker: Well, baby, me so horny. Me so horny. Me love you long time. Me sucky sucky.
Private Joker: What can I get for ten dollars?
Da Nang Hooker: Every t’ing you want.
Private Joker: Everything?
Da Nang Hooker: Every t’ing.
It’s Thursday so you know what time it is, and since Formula D is heading to South Florida in a week I felt it was time to hit you with a throwback that sets the mood, which brings me to…
2 Live Crew is a hip hop group from Miami, Florida. They caused considerable controversy with the sexual themes in their work, particularly on their 1989 album As Nasty As They Wanna Be. Their song “Me So Horny” which took a sample from the hooker scene in Full Metal Jacket was the cause of extreme controversey in the late 80′s / early 90′s in regard to freedom of speech and cencorship in music, due to the explicit nature of the songs lyrics.
Ryan Tuerck Drift Demo
Thursday, May 26th, 2011
Recently the Gardella Racing Rig travelled to Harrison NJ for the opening day at the New York Red Bulls Stadium where Ryan Tuerck & Aaron Colton put on an awesome demo for the Red Bull fans! The venue was packed and people lined the street as far as the eye could see, even though there was still a cold chill in the air. This was the first of many Red Bull demo events that Ryan Tuerck will be sliding through this season, and also the first event that his Solstice was re-wrapped as a complete Red Bull demo car. Together with Colton’s skill there was no lack of excitement, his motorcycle riding abitilites are unparalelled to any other rider that I have ever seen.
Unfortunately earlier in the evening, the actual LS7 demo car was having engine issues, and needed to be sidelined. Luckily the Gardella Racing crew is always prepared, and quickly had to jump into action with Plan B, which consisted of the crew pulling out Ryan’s yellow road racing Solstice, obviously underpowered in comparison to his LS7 demo car, but none the less capable and reliable enough to offer the crowd a great drifting demonstration. You could tell their was a bit of anxiety in the air because the corporate people at Red Bull were unsure of whether or not a quality display of drifting could be brought to us given these circumstances, but once the smoke cleared it was obvious by the reaction of the Red Bull fans that Ryan’s drifting skills, and Aaron’s riding prowess prevailed and an amazing show was without a doubt acheived. Thanks to Brian Casse of Jersey Streets we have the ability of showing you how it all went down!
