Formula D Round 6 at Infineon Raceway - Fear And Loathing In Norcal

Although Ken Gushi made it to the top 16 qualifiers, his Beams powered Scion tC sounded like it was having some drivetrain problems and didn't get too far in the rounds. "Wild Bill" Sherman came out swinging in his burgundy S13.5 240SX and beat out guys like Forsberg and Tuerck. Almost no one could shake this guy off. He went undefeated until finally losing to Tanner Foust and his 350Z. Sherman landed a third place spot, while Foust went on to battle Rhys Millen for first place, where Foust won. After seeing all the well-built cars up close, Sean and I were definitely swayed into building drift cars. I'm now looking to buy a 240SX, while SK is getting a chubby for hachi-rokus. Hatchbacks and pop-up headlights FTMFW Sean!

After Formula D, we busted the midnight mission home. About six hours later, I got home at 3am. Somehow I managed to survive all the speeding, crappy fast food, cigarettes, exhaust fumes, tire smoke, pissing in strange places, lack of sleep and more cigarettes. I do love my job!
