2011 Formula Drift: Round 1 – Qualifying Gallery:Part 1

Posted on by

First off we would like to congratulate Conrad Gruenwald on his Qualifying run scoring a 93!!  Above is a shot from that run.

It’s the start of the Formula Drift 2011 season and there’s many a change already.  Tanner Foust is not running this season as he is out perusing his rally career and filming Top Gear USA.  Last year’s champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. did not qualify for the first round and is now out for tomorrow’s competition. This followed by Samuel Hubinette (who is a prior champion as well) having major pressure problems and not being able to run the car as it is going to need a full tear down or replacement motor to get it up and running for round 2. We wish all 3 of these drivers a good 2nd round and know they can still push it to get into high placement in the series.  Can Vaughn or Sam retake another championship?  What do you think?

 Also we would like to say congrats to the rookies who moved into Top 32 for today’s competition. We wish them all luck, and knowing a couple personally we have an eye on them. As I have always said “SUPPORT GRASSROOTS!!”
