Coming up July 10th and 11th, night racing in Las Vegas. Although Rhys Millen is no longer driving a Solstice we are very well represented, Darren McNamara is driving the Sears Sky with a huge 700 hp V-8 and is number 1 in the points after winning the Wall NJ event, Ryan Tuerck will be in the Gardella Solstice he is number 2 in the points and won the event at Long Beach. The Kapa kids are kicking butt on the Pro Drift circuit, I hope to see some people at the event. I will be there with my son, and Chemist is coming. I just got an email from Team Falken an they have me scheduled for an interview with the speedy Irishman who drives the Sky. Hope to see you there!

Here is a note from the guys at ASD, they built the Sears Sky and the other two top finishers at the race at Wall NJ.
"We will be in Las Vegas for the 4th round of the Formula D series on the 10th and 11th of July. I hope to see a lot of Kappa owners out there supporting us and our race for the championship with Darren McNamara in the Sears Auto Center / Falken Tire Saturn Sky. Feel free to come by the pit and meet us and get an up close look at this one of a kind Kappa. No one else is running a 700hp Kappa! Ask for Dave and I would be happy to show you the car!
Here are the event details:
Formula DRIFT Slides into Sin City
The world famous Las Vegas Motor Speedway plays host to Formula DRIFT. The “Diamond in the Desert” is just outside the Vegas Strip and has previously hosted events such as NASCAR, IndyCar, and more recently Formula DRIFT.
The custom built course is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, drifting circuits in the world. With a very high-speed triple entry, drivers are pushed to put their fears behind them and risk it all when entering the first turn. Fans will not be disappointed with each grand stand seat having a great view of all the action.
The 2-day event will also feature the FD Pro Am competition in association with Vegas Drift. Fans will witness the best amateur and professional drivers in the country battle it out all weekend long.
