SHR DODGE/BFGoodrich Drift Team roars into the road to the Championship

Monday, May 10th, 2010

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BRASELTON, Georgia (SAMUEL HÜBINETTE RACING) – Samuel Hübinette Racing’s Dodge/BFGoodrich team roared into the second round of the Formula DRIFT championship at Road Atlanta this weekend with enthusiasm and momentum.

2010-05-10-shr-fd2-12

The new two-car team, featuring team owner Hübinette behind the wheel of a new Dodge Challenger and drift newcomer Andrew “ACP” Comrie-Picard in the familiar Dodge Viper, were popular with fans at the event putting on a strong showing on the track in practice and competition rounds.

Hübinette’s performance in the Dodge Challenger drew huge reaction from the packed audience. The aggressive car, with its grumbling 800-plus horsepower, is rapidly becoming a fan favorite.

“We were really quick and the car ran well, yet we still have some more development to do,” said Hübinette. “We have to be happy to have qualified in the top 10 bracket, but we will keep tweaking things to be even more competitive.”

FormulaD Atlanta- Round 2

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

After round two in Formula Drift I ended up on 8th place over all. Not the direction I wanted to go but over all still a very fun weekend.
With the performance upgrades from the BFGoodrich KDW 335s in the rear I was extremely fast around the course. The Challenger ran flawles the whole weekend except a few mods we found out was to weak. Like one of the tie rod we had put in for example.
Dodge had the first ever free Drift ride excebition for anyone to experience. You got to get rides on a small drift track with Chargers and Challengers. It was a success right away and the lines were long.
We also raffled off 3 ride alongs with me, so they got to experience a drift ride in the new SHR/Dodge/BFGoodrich Challenger at Road Atlanta
The event was sold out and the fans were AWESOME. Thank you all for the support for my new SHR-DODGE/BFG team.
We are leaving the cars over in Atlanta at The HAYES Dodge dealership and prep them here for the next round. Hayes Dodge Dealership are the number 1 Mopar parts dealership in the world. We have became friends over the years and they are always so helpful and supportive.
Brad and Ryan will stay till Tuesday an get some fresh Royal Purple oil in the engines and mount a new K&N filter on the Challenger.
Thank you all for coming out to the event an support FD.
Samuel
