Throwback Thursday – 2006 Clipping Point: Tyler McQuarrie
Tyler McQuarrie:I was talking to them a little bit last year around mid-season; they kind of knew that I was looking to get into a new car. Around halfway through the season, I had made the decision that I wanted to look into other opportunites beyond the Jasper Supra, and I started talking to Ben from RS*R USA from there.

I think they were hoping to run two S2000s, but when Alex moved on to judging, my spot in the driver’s seat was pretty much a done deal. Continue reading

Lanteigne has a working experience with both current Formula DRIFT judges Andy Yen and Tony Angelo and they have expressed their approval for Lanteigne to join them on the judging panel for the 2011 Pro Championship season.
“I am truly very excited and honored to be a part of the Formula DRIFT family. We were fortunate to haveFormula DRIFT judges in the Canadian series when I was competing, which introduced us to the rules, scoring and demands of the big leagues early on,” said Ryan Lanteigne, new Formula DRIFT judge. “After my early retirement, working as a judge with Tony and Andy really opened my eyes to the intricacies of the sport while reinforcing just how important it is to be impartial and objective while in the judging tower. Ilook forward to meeting all of the drivers at Round 1: Streets of Long Beach and to the entire season ahead.”
