It went well I have to say. A 3rd place on Saturday and a 2nd place on Sunday.

Bryntesson Motor sport had a great set up all over both on track and off the track. With a 4 car line up they had a massive presence over the weekend. With STCC and many other race series over the weekend it turned out to be a busy weekend with lots of fans. On Friday during my test day Stina got asked to get out in a team to do a 3 hours endurance race. They were all in the same type Volvo C30 school cars and 3 drivers per team. She was with 2 other woman. Tony Bryntesson's wife was one of them. There were drivers like the PRINCE of Sweden and STCC drivers amongst the other teams. The AWESOME thing was that Stina got the 2nd fastest lap time over all. Pretty cool I must say.
Over all I had a great time racing and spending time with family and friends in Sweden.

I just got in to Monterrey Mexico where I am doing a Drift Competition over the weekend. After that I will be back in California for some time.

What a tuff event we had to go thru up here in the North West.
It was first sunny in the morning with some clouds around but during the day it started to rain and get back to dry surface back and forth.
I manage to qualify at the top spot 1st place so that felt Awesome.
At the end of the day I took 2nd place in round 5 and that made me the pointsleader in the battle of the Championship, with a a 12 point lead. So with that said I am stoked about the event even if I did not get the top spot for the evening.
It was definitely the hardest Drift event I have ever done. With the rain making the track so un predictable made it so tuff to not spin out or correct to much.
Team NuFormz did Awesome as always with the car set up and that was very helpful for the slick surface that was out there. Having the rain and Dry tires from BFG KDW, that helped me to have the control at the un predictable surface.
We tested Thursday Friday and had the competition on Saturday and had no problems with the car at all. So BIG applause for the Mopar performance.

Fun intro take with Samuel Hubinette

Sorry for not been giving you guys any updates for some time.
I just got back home from Mammoth Mountain where I have been Mountain biking. It is awesome up there right now. You take the Gondola up to the TOP and run your bike hard down the hill. I highly recommend it.
Tuesday I will be on a Nissan Commercial. Pretty cool shot. I will be doing a bunch of 90 180 and 360 slides so that should be interesting.
Then on Thursday I will be heading up to Seattle for testing. We put a supercharger in our other Viper so both of the cars got lots of power now. I can't wait to test the new built engine. NuFormz have been busy lately with that project. Thank you guys for all the hard work!!
Then on Sunday after FormulaD in Seattle is over I will fly over to Sweden to see Stina and my Family. The weekend of Aug 16-17 I will compete in a Camaro cup race over there. http://www.bryntessonmotorsport.com/
I was over there last year and had a blast racing over there. It is a great team and the race is very competitive.

Stina did an awesome job out at the California Speedway raceway. Here are her words.

 So this past weekend I was racing in a Redline Time Attack at california Speedway in Fontana.

Time Attack is originally from Japan and it's about getting the fastest lap time in the group you're competing in.
The groups are depending on what car your driving. If it's a front wheel (FW) car, rear wheel (RW), or a all wheel (AW) car. And it's also divided into: Street legal, Modified and Unlimited.
I was competing in the Modified FW class with my Dodge Neon SRT4.

The track at California Speedway was a really challenging track. We were using part of the oval to the infield road course. Coming on the straight away on the oval I was flat out doing 140 mph (240km). Wow, wow, wow....Pretty intimidating at first but really awesome!!! No fear!!

Saturday was a good day with a lot of testing. Having 4 test sessions I felt that I was ready to rock in the competition on Sunday. Having a great lap of 2:00:6 on saturdays practice, I still felt that I had a couple of seconds to shape of.
My first test session on Sunday was not that good when I was having problems with my car. The turbo was not boosting on the higher gear, and that made the car lose a lot of power.
My team tried their best to fix the problem. They got the boost problem a little better, but not completely fixed.
I went out their in the competition and pulled a 1:56:6. That gave me he 2:nd place in my class and I got to be on the podium!! YEAH!!!

It was a great weekend and I got a lot of publicity. RiceboyTV.com was following me the whole weekend making a story about me. That should be out soon..
Also NBC was there filming me for TV show called "Whipnotic" and that will be airing on Saturday at 5pm.

Thanx to all of you helping me out!
Samuel, Warren, Kim, BFGoodrich, DC performance, KW and Lela with Hilton & Knowlton for all the Media attention! You guys ROCK!!!

I had a great weekend in Vegas. I ended up Qualifying 2nd and finished 3rd over all. I was definitely aiming for the top of the podium but I guess not this time. For being FormulaD's first event in Vegas it turned out great. Las Vegas Motor speedway was amazingly helpful and we really look forward to come back there again.
This week I will work during the days on a instruction program and hang out with Stina and my  Brother from Sweden and his family in the evenings. They are here for 3 weeks so that should be fun showing them around here in Southern Cal.

This I have been around home here in Southern California. I drew for a Audi A4 2009 commercial on Tuesday. Pretty nice car. But I like the old body style better. We have been working on a DVD we am planning on doing. So there is lots of planning for that to make it happen. We are going to shoot some of it at Vegas Motor speedway next week. Danen a friend of mine might come out too with his SL65 and a Ferrari F430. It should be some sick drifting and cool footage for the DVD. Peace out.

I was stunt driving for Fast and Furious 4 last night. We had a blast drifting the whole night. Myself, Rich Rutherford, Tanner Foust and Paul Dallenback.

It was funny. I ended up having to be the double for some crazy Irainien guy in the movie. So check out the pictures guys. You're going to LOVE it!!

Yesterday I was out shoting the movie Crank 2. Jason Statham was driving the other car and myself an ambulance. I can't get in to details but I had a dialog so it was my first acting gig. BIG TIME!! He was a cool guy and great to work with. I talked to him about Drifting and he knew all about it. He saw me out at the Long Beach GP doing the demo last year and loved it.

Check out the Commercial I did for them. It came out pretty good. They will use it for their dealerships and internet. Let me know what you guys think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbdZSLmfsXg

Here is a video from Atlanta during my test day. There are some information that could be good to know that I share. http://www.youtube.com/driftlive  Check it out!!

Last week was really fun. After I went to Nevada for the CORR race with Chet Huffman in his private jet I did a commercial for the new VW Scirocco. Pretty cool car. But it will not get to the US to start. Then on Thursday me, Stina and a friend from Sweden Magnus went to Las Vegas Motor speedway. Lamborghini invited me to come out and check out the 09 Models. They must have had like more than 30 Loambos there for test driving. I also introduced the founder of a new project called The one million dollar race. I will get back regarding that later on. Later on that night we had dinner on the top of the Mandalay Bay hotel. Then on Saturday I was helping out in the Pit for Stina at Willow Springs Race track. She did awesome and it was lots of fun. Except that one guy crashed his Mini Cooper and got air born out from the track. Not sure if he made it. Very sad. This week I will have a few meetings and over the next weekend I will be working on a BMW commercial. Drift Ya Later
