It is with the saddest of news that we inform you all of the passing of Shaun Carlson of Nuformz Racing. Shaun was a friend that I got the chance to meet 3 years ago and managed to talk to every so often. He was a swell guy, friendly and very open. We were informed that he passed away last night in his home in Long Beach.
We were aware that he had been away from the shop for a bit and had been diagnosed with having a genetic condition that caused him to have a problem with the electrical system of his heart and had a pacemaker installed to help regulate this (Original Story). We don’t know if this was the ultimate cause of Shaun’s passing but he will be greatly missed by his team, Sam Hubinette, the import drag scene, the drift scene and by myself. My prayers go out to his family and all his friends.
For those that didn’t know Shaun was in the drag scene, theres a small video below the jump that shows you what he and Steph Papadakis accomplished in 1999, building the first 9second FWD Drag car. Once again, our prayers and heart felt condolences go out to his family and all that will miss him.

RIP bro.

We’d really appreciate all that can come!
Damn, sorry to hear about this, I remember Shaun from way back in the day, running Mission, the airport, commerce etc. He had a white CRX I think way back when 92-94 seems like such a long time ago. He will be missed.
Our prayers go out to the Carlson family. Shaun was a great motivator for the legitimate transition of the import scene from the street to the strip
Peace Shaun and GOD speed
