2009 Formula Drift: R1-SOLB – Round Of 32
2nd Update: This has been cancelled and will not be a rerun, Casper wasn’t able to run and was allowed the bypass via not running to save time. Justin will move on to Top 16
Update: Casper Canul and Justin Pawlak will run a 2nd run. Apparently both broke from the tap and JTP was supposed to do a bye run. That didn’t happen, so they will both get to go at it for their 2nd run. This will happen at the begining of the Top 16 to determine a winner.

Rhys Millen’s Hyundai Genesis drift car to debut at Chicago Auto Show
After months of waiting and denials, Hyundai announced today that Rhys Millen would officially unveil his Red Bull-sponsored Hyundai Genesis drift car at the Chicago Auto show this weekend. Along with their press release were several photos, including 1 of Rhys drifting the car at what appears to be Willow Springs. We can’t say that anyone was really surprised after his Super Bowl commercial, but the one thing to note in these photos is that Rhys is now on Toyo tires. With Tanner over on Hankook, it looks like he hooked his former roommate up with his old deal.
