Dean ‘Karnage’ Kearney once again lives up to his nickname. Moments ago he posted the following image on Facebook after hitting a wall in his Viper at today’s FD Media day in Long Beach.
Here is what happened in his words:
“I over stepped the grip levels of the track before there was enough of a clean line lade down. Getting one rear tire on the marbles and paying the price with the wall. The guys are already working on fixing the frame and we have all but 1 left rear tail light.”
Earlier today it was announced that Kenneth Moen will be joining the current Achilles Radial & Bridges Racing for the 2014 season alongside their current roster of Daigo Saito, Robbie Nishida, and Dean Kearney.
This is big news for Moen as he was seen in a borrowed car at Irwindale to end the 2013 season after, rumor has it, Lutz Performance ran out of funding and pulled out of Formula D and possibly closed it’s doors.
Kenny will be piloting a new car built by San Bruno California based shop Limitless Motorsports. They will be building him a 2JZ powered Nissan 240sx s14 chassis expected to put out around 700hp.
Kenneth performed pretty well in a Z chassis last season that was pushing it’s life well past it’s use so it should be a great season for him in a new chassis with proper support.
Dean Kearney teased early on Facebook a picture of his previous Dodge Viper and shortly after Wrecked talked about Deans return with the Dodge Viper that he previously drove under the V-Led sponsor.
Kearney responded on Facebook and then on Wrecked’s comments confirming his return to Formula D in 2013 in the Dodge Viper with his own team. He said he will be ready for Round 1 in Long Beach, So Good Luck to Dean and glad to see you making a return after your poor luck in the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
