Zilvia member Blu808 wins 2011 Pro Formula Drift license at nationals

[blu808]

Long time drifter Luke Lonberger and the Blu808 team took a trip down to Irwindale Speedway this past weekend to represent the northern California region in the Formula Drift Pro Am Nationals. He was also joined by fellow Blu808 teamate Fabian Fernandez. Lonberger being the highest placing finisher of the 2010 Thunderdrift series had some amazing runs during all the practice sessions and throughout the entire event. Being one of the most consistent drivers during all 3 days of the race, and putting down some insane high line runs on the banking of Irwindale Speedway earned him a 2011 Formula D full Professional license.

Fellow teammate and rookie drifter Fabian Fernandez received the wildcard invite to nationals this year. He put on a great show, and even managed to qualify 4th overall. His consistent driving, and close tandem battles earned him a top 4 finish at the event, and a 2011 Formula D full Professional License.

Congratulations Luke and Crew.

Damn, where has the time gone? Weren't you just fabbing shit up in Andrew's garage last week, and pissing off the neighbors with indoor burnouts?

[Thmotorsports]

pissing off the neighbors with indoor burnouts?


Ha ha...my neighbors don't like that either...but filling up the garage with smoke is so much fun.

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

Nah Barry. Drew was always hanging out in my garage, and I have been competing in drifting events since 2004. Even ran some FD events in 05.

Thanks everyone for the comments. We are looking forward to next season.

wow...five car lengths wasn't an exageration...

on a side note, i've watched that build on ziptied (pink car) nice build man.

Luke....you don't need any more compliments...you build sick shit. now you drive sick shit...and your going to be sick shit.

Fuck some shit up! lol.

Close enough. I knew it was one of your garages. :p

I know you've been driving for a while now. Just seems like yesterday to my old man brain. :D

[GSXRJJordan]

I was at Irwindale all weekend, Luke killed it. Should have won the whole thing, but at least he got his license. Fabian was the real underdog here, coming in with the wildcard invite and qualifying 4th, then driving SUPER consistent and finishing 4th!

congrats luke!

IT's gotta be the JORDAN INNOVATIONS wiring!

I'd be lying if I said that it didn't help. Having a full Mil-spec harness can help anyone do anything!

Heard it adds 5 hp and .5 inces to the wang.

Congrats man, this is an awesome accomplishment.

At least! Probably adds more than that! I don't know about the horsepower part though :)

[singlecamslam]

Way to go Luke man, put it down for norcal. Now make me some ls1 mounts :bigok:

[foreverdark]

Great job Luke and congrats! Can't wait to tear it up with you next year.

[Silviaoneday]

Hey good job Luke congrats!! This is Johnny my dad had the red FD in the Exedy booth next to your car.

[BoostSlideWayz]
