Long Beach, CA – After the dust had settled at Long Beach there were a lot of things to discuss. Hopefully by now the interwebs should have ceased being a shrine to James Deane, who is a very strong driver and a gentleman (interview coming soon), but who showed up to Long Beach with plenty of data and setup notes as he had driven an S15 to a very solid showing back in 2010. And trust me, I was there helping my AE86 bros Keith Wong and John Russakoff and just based on that event I never forgot Deane or his aggressive driving style.
It was cool lemonade on a hot summer day refreshing to see other than usual faces on the podium. Deane came from Ireland with sledgehammers for chase runs. However, his lovetap of three-time champion Chris Forsberg went very unnoticed by our esteemed judges and commentators. With that out of the way; the Peruvian Alex Heilbrunn is coming onto his own and the continued relationship with Rick Lamber Jr. from RTS (my pick for crew member of the year, and not just because I sat next to him in qualifying) will only yield greater results in the near future (this was written before Super Drift).
