Now we are up at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma for Formula Drift round 6. Practice went well today in the Nuformz/BFGoodrich Viper. But we had some problem with uneven tire wear. So we did some changes for that before Qualification. Due to tempature difference of the track and the change of settings, the car became very tuff to handle. My first qualifaction run the Viper had to much rear traction from the BFG’s so it was fighting the drift. On the second run my front wheels touched the control arm and looked the front wheels so I spun.
I qualified 26th, my worst qualification ever. But Hey it happens.
Top 32 is tomorrow and we are matched up against Ryan Tuerck. He is a good guy so it should be a good battle!

I was on fire this weekend. The Nuformz/BFGoodrich Viper ran flawless and I had a lot of fun. Evergreen Speedway is definitely one of my favorite track on the FormulaD circuits.
I qualified 3rd on Friday and that put me up against my Team mate for this event, Pat Mourdant. Pat is a great young driver and he has his future before him.
I took of a little bit when leading him and I was close when following him. I moved on to Top 16. Props to Pat though for running so hard with that car!

I had a great day testing at Evergreen Speedway. The car ran really good and I felt fast out there.
After Las Vegas we found out that we were 175 hp down. With that extra power back the car feels very competetive. It should be a good weekend!
