Seven deep and over 1000 miles from home, Mayday Garage ventured out to the west coast to watch and cover the finals of North America’s premiere drift series, Formula D. Drifting, Hardparkers and Shorties were on our agenda for the duration of our stay in California and I think we accomplished our goal. Today we are going to venture into the core of Formula D, Drift. Formula D Final round was taken by the Rockstar NASCAR Motorplant Scion, driven by Tanner Foust. Following him for the day was series points leader Vaughn Gittin Jr. Our friend Linhbergh from Speedhunters had told us that we had picked a great event to go to because the amount of drama that ensued throughout the event. From series rivalries to wrecks, we witnessed an amazing event for sure.
Last years series winner, Chris Forsberg. Consistent all day, but a spin out would take him out.
Rhys Millen, a force NOT to be reckoned with!
Gardella Racing, great team, great driver, but luck wasn't on their side this past weekend. Either way, balls out in style.
Justin Pawlak driving the Falken Stang like a bat out of hell.
Conrad Grunewald's Hankook Camaro is no Joke
The competition was stiff, even amongst teammates.
Wrecks, not uncommon
California doesn't play, they were out to support in full force.
