Formula Drift Driver Vaughn Gittin Jr.
Hey everyone! Vaughn Gittin Jr. here blogging live from Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I'm out here for Formula Drift Round 4 which I am so pumped for.
Practice yesterday was incredible! The 2010 Falken Tire Ford Mustang came straight out of Autosport Dynamics and was ready to rock. I went out on the track and put down some solid runs. I love the new course set-up at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The crew at Formula Drift tried to mimic a very well known Japanese course - Ebisu - and it's incredible to have this layout here in the states to compete on.
My team will be doing a couple minor changes to the car today, but the car honestly was near to perfect yesterday. My only expectations for this weekend are to have an amazing crowd and to go out and drive as hard as I possibly can and have a ton of fun. If all goes well, we will be standing on the podium again just like we were at the last round. For everyone that is coming to this awesome event, make sure you stop by the Falken Tire pit and throw me a high-five.
