I have a LOT of pictures of the Mustang that is JR Gitten, I had made a bet with him before the race it would be an all Pontiac Podium. we almost did it, he came over after the race and told me I called it. He and Rhys bumped together and it tore off JR's mirror. He wrote "I love to kiss" on the mirror and gave it to Rhys, he is a really funny guy. I was so lucky I got to get to know several of the drivers very well, JR is one of them. Anyone that has never been to a Drift event is missing out, it is like nothing else. The pits are wide open and anyone can just walk up and talk to the drivers and look at the cars, watching it on TV can not begin to do it justice, and now the Solstice is kicking butt makes it even better, that Viper the Solstice's both beat has over 760 HP and is Super Charged, the Mustang JR drives is over 700 as well, it is a beast!
This link will allow you to see all the pictures I am posting, there are over 500 so far and I am still uploading it is a slide show and very long. I will edit it down once I get everything uploaded.

Formula DRIFT Round 2: Feel the Heat Results;
Rhys Millen Takes Top Honors after Being Non-Seeded


Long Beach, Calif. – May 13, 2008 – Formula DRIFT hosted their fifth year anniversary at Road Atlanta this past weekend for Round 2: Feel the Heat. This event also marked the first Tires.com Triple Crown bonus event of the season with Rhys Millen and his Red Bull Pontiac Solstice fought his way to take home top honors.

Round 2: Feel the Heat; marked the fifth year anniversary for Formula DRIFT. Road Atlanta is the home of the inaugural Formula DRIFT event five years ago and has consistently grown each year with ticket sales up 10% from last year.

The highlight of the event was Rhys Millen coming back to true form as he has overcome both physical and mechanical issues to earn the top spot on the podium and take the lead in the Tires.com Triple Crown bonus prize. In the off-season, Millen underwent treatment for a broken back after an accident put him out of commission for awhile. He recovered in time to compete in the first round of the season. Bu mechanical issues took Millen out of the competition in Long Beach leaving him as a non-seeded driver and having to pre-qualify for this second round event. From qualifying to taking home the victory, Millen proved to everyone that he is back to being a contender for the title.

“This was a very competitive competition with top ranking drivers from Round 1 being knocked-out early in the event,” said Jim Liaw, president and co-founder of Formula DRIFT. “The field of competition is as tough as it’s ever been and this should make for a very exciting season.”

With top ranking drivers not making it far in the competition this left a small gap for the other drivers to earn very crucial points. Formula DRIFT rookie, Michihiro Takatori and his Super Autobacs Nissan Skyline R34 slid past the competition with fast entry speeds and smooth drifting lines to gain his first Formula DRIFT podium. Ryan Tuerck piloting the Gardella Racing / Mobil1 Pontiac Solstice faced some stiff competition and earned a third place finish moving him in a close 5th place position in the Castrol SYNTEC Power Cup Point Standings. The chase for the Castrol SYNTEC Power Cup is as close as ever with Chris Forsberg and his NOS Energy Drink / Maxxis Tire Nissan 350Z and Samuel Hubinette in the NuFormz Racing Mopar / BF Goodrich Dodge Viper SRT10 tied for 1st place and defending Formula DRIFT champion, Tanner Foust right behind them in 3rd place.

This event was also the first Tires.com Triple Crown bonus event of the season. The Tires.com Triple Crown follows the Formula DRIFT circuit to three rounds of the Formula DRIFT Championship and awards the driver that earns the most points in the 3 selected rounds. This season, Round 2 at Road Atlanta, Round 4 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Round 7 at Irwindale Speedway were chosen to be the official Tires.com Triple Crown venues. Last season Chris Forsberg took home the bonus prize and now 2006 Tires.com Triple Crown bonus winner Rhys Millen is leading the way to secure the bonus title.
