Vaughn Gittin Jr. Finishes 5th At Formula Drift Round Four
BALTIMORE, Md. (June 21, 2011) – Vaughn Gittin Jr. came out to Round Four of Formula Drift at Wall Speedway this past weekend ready to rock and looking to gain some crucial Championship points. After the tire smoke had settled on this exciting East Coast track, Vaughn would finish the event in 5th place, accomplishing his goal of moving up in points overall.
Vaughn put down a near-perfect second run in the Monster Energy Falken Tire Ford Mustang during the qualifying rounds, landing him in the 2nd place spot in the top thirty-two. Watch the VIDEO of his run. Vaughn went on to defeat Jim Guthrie in the top 32, and was excited to move into the top 16 main competition after a quick half-time break.
Vaughn spent half-time hanging out in the pits signing autographs, chatting with fans, throwing out Exedy Clutch swag, and posing for pictures next to the Monster Energy Falken Tire Ford Mustang. A Mustang RTR convertible was showcased at the Falken Tire booth and Vaughn’s Team Need for Speed Mustang RTR-X was quite the jaw-dropper over at the Need for Speed Electro Lounge.
