In the Final 4, the sun was setting but everyone's spirits were still heated. Tyler McQuarrie and the Team Falken Z evaporated their rubber into the air and left Ken Gushi's RS*R tC in the smoke to secure third and an all Team Falken podium. The question then became who would take home the coveted spot for them in the final action of the night: Darren "D-Mac" McNamara in his Saturn Sky or Vaughn Gittin Jr. in his Mustang? Gittin leading took a high line along the embankment to start off the run and the Sky clenched to him like gum on a shoe giving him the victory of the event. The all-Team Falken podium (1. McNamara, 2. Gittin, 3. McQuarrie) was the first time in FormulaD history, and the guys didn't miss a moment to celebrate it. You could see the happiness in their eyes as they all got on the podium together, drenching one another with champagne and soaking the models' hair. The blue/green paint scheme had proved to me what drifting looks like at Wall Speedway.
