So let’s continue with our SEMA fun. We spent more time at the Wynn that you would imagine. After the GM party we found out about this secret shuttle that took you to the Wynn. So we ran to the shuttle at 5pm and bypassed the taxi line and hit up a taxi at the Wynn with about 400 less people in line.

NOS Energy Drinks has stepped up their role in 2008 for Formula D. We are so excited to let you know that Chris gave his doors up for the next season to the NOS can. Mike Fine presented a great unveiling at the Maxxis Tires booth saying he hopes to help push Chris into the next level (Championship) as an independently funded team. Here is a snapshot of the new look on the Maxxis car.

The Formula D press conference dropped some huge bombs! Wrecked Magazine did a much better job laying all the news out but let me give you some cliff notes. Formula D will have a world finals to wrap up the year. Formula D will have a demo in Mexico and an event in Singapore. They also are adding an event to the regular season(so now and they also added Las Vegas to the tour this year. The 8th event is TBA. Here you can see Ryan Sage bringing us all the good news.

We did some great interviews with guys like Neil Tjin, Status Sean, and Jason Whitfield for a tuner segment from Mobil 1. They really stepped up this year with a big bottle at the main entrance, 2 billboards, and 150 taxi cab advertisements.  We had a blast filming with these guys…………

So we rolled into Las Vegas with full intentions to have the time of our life and help make this excellent video for Mobil 1! We accomplished both of course in record fashion! Our first place we crashed at was the Wyndam Grand Desert Resort right off East Harmon which is kinda behind Planet Hollywood.

So Monday night we showed up to the Wynn Hotel for the General Motors party that is always my favorite event and a great way to kick off the week! So after the big GM party we rolled into the exclusive VIP Afterparty and 50 cent unveiled his car ride to the 200 people in attendance. Will Castro from Unique Autosports presented the car, it was a great thing we were able to witness.

Also at the GM Party was my favorite car of the show. The Pontiac Solstice SD-290 Racer Concept in a custom candy apple red paint was gorgeous. The revamped Ecotech engine is making 290hp (hence the SD-290). I’ve been on a huge vintage kick lately as we all know and this modern car with the old school vintage kickback I just love. The redone grills and front make the car easy on the eyes.  I hope to see this thing appear some more in the future.
