Josh Herron’s Synopsis of the 2009 Formula D Season
Moto IQ Staff Report
The 2009 Formula D Pro Drift Season is wrapped up and in the can. While we are waiting for the end of the 2010 Silly Season and busying ourselves for Formula D’s 2010 opener in Long Beach, we spotted this video overview of the 2009 season by Josh Herron. We at MotoIQ have been longtime fans of Josh’s work. His capability with a camera and post production magic not only captures the motion and rapid fire action of Pro Drifting but also strikes a genuine emotional chord that great video can do.

Intro By Mike Kojima, Story By Antonio Alvendia
I have known the Bergenholtz brothers for most of my adult life starting in the late 80's when I used to see them at the street races. They were the younger generation of LA street racers, Ron was the crazy one (who I consider to be the funniest guy in the world) and Ed the quiet one. The brothers stuck together and were the up and coming fast guys.
The Brothers were pioneers in the Sport Compact Racing world, Ron, the Mad scientist, always thinking and innovating with Ed doing the driving. The Bergenholtze's conquered the import drag world, winning with heart and hard work against the GM corporate juggernaut that had them squarely in their sights. They have a bunch of Wally's sitting in the living room, I would die for just one. Now the brothers are heavily involved with the Pro Formula D drift scene with the blue RX-8 that gets crazy angle with Justin Pawlak at the wheel. Sometimes Ed drives the car in time attack events as well.
Earlier in the week the Bergenholtze's were inducted into the NHRA hall of fame, where the original Bergenholz Racing Wicked CRX will be on display. I am so proud of these guys, they represent us, the true believers of Sport Compact Racing. Click on the links to read what our friend Antonio Alvendia of MotorMavens.com has to say about the event!

Our Project Scion TC, fresh from its victory at the NASA PTC National Championships continued its winning streak by dominating in its inaugural outing in Speed World Challenge's new Touring Car 2 class last weekend October 9-11 at Mazda Speedway (Laguna Seca) in Monterey California, the seasons finale.
Veteran racer Scott Webb, took the win during the 50-minute Touring Car race. The TRD supercharged and intercooled Scion tC put on a great show for tens of thousands of fans, as he not only won the class, but actually mixed it up with the faster class TC cars. For Laguna Seca, team manager and two-time NASA national champion driver, Dan Gardner, had decided that Webb’s experience at the track made him the best fit to pedal the car.
