          D.A. will be driving there backup cars.
          Forsberg: Z33
          Gittin: S13
          Hampton: FC
          Angelo: S13

          Big Smoke will be driving his Green S13 back up car as well.

          I'm guessing Casper will probably be driving his primary car (S14)?

            Did anybody attend?
            I was watching the CART race on TV it was very sparce in the stands.
            It looked as if there's more people at FD events than at this CART race in Milwaukee, hopefully they were all there to see the FD action on top of CART racing.

            Also, it was great to see Paul Tracy leading and going around the track but if you took note of all the marks from our FD homies demoing the track, yessir that's how it's done!

            See ya'll in Houston, somebody buy me a rack of ribs.
            Texas has some good ole BBQ right!
            Do it big in Texas!

              Hey guys, we are all hanging out in dallas right now on our 4 hour layover. Milwaukee rocks, its one of the coolest cities ever, and I would have never guessed. The event was a total blast. When they showed us pics of the track last week, we were all thinking, what the hell are we supposed to do on a ONE MILE OVAL! (Irwindale is a half mile) We didn't think there was any way our cars could clear those turns. But with entries around 120mph, Vaughn, Tony, and myself were clearing it and clocked at over 100mph towards the exit of the turn! They said the gun read 109mph when I came around that turn. My foot was through the floor. The champ car guys couldn't believe it! The speeds at irwindale are around 80-90mph. There will be some video up soon I hope. Other than that it was a great time! Thanks to FormulaD and Champ Car for taking us out. And a big thanks to Kevin at LS Automotive for all the hard work helping us get our old cars back together in only a weeks time.

                Heh, Chris, the Milwaukee Mile is a regular sprint/Silver Crown hangout. 'Course you're able to get around those turns flat out and sideways.

                So when're you guys going to give Knoxville or Terre Haute a try?

                In all seriousness, I'm glad that you guys enjoyed a trip to one of midwest open wheel racing's most hallowed tracks. It's a shame you had to be paired up on the CART bill to get there, but still I'm glad you liked it.

                Hope you like Burke Lakefront at Cleveland just as much.

                    Milwaukee was sooo much fun even the night life surprised us. Like Chris said after looking at the pictures on the internet prior to going we were like what in the world are we gonna do there on a 1 mile oval. We when we arrived we figured it out real quick. 4th gear manjis down the straights and super fast entries into the turns which ended in 105mph+ exits. This definatley is the fastest we have ever entered or exited a turn and it seems to me it could quite possible the fastest drifting ever recorded in the U.S. I will also say how confident I was in my car the first 4th gear foot to the floor entry i did was so predictable the Falken RT615's were unexplanably prepared for the task and at that point those were the only things allowing my car to listen to my inputs at those speeds in fact it started to be a game to see where the edge of them was to where they would give up lets just say that edge was non existant the took whatever I had to give to them and I am very very impressed and i feel very fortunate I am able to run on the best tires on the market. We had a blast we put on an amazing show I cant explain how estatic the Champ car Fans were we were there. In fact a few people came from way far just to see us drift it was insane. Hopefully we will have some pics and video up soon on the Drift Alliance site. I know Pete is a busy dude but im pretty sure he is going to pull some bits and pieces for everyone to see the size of these slightly banked turns we were destroying and the speeds we were hitting.

                    Portland is gonna be a blast too we cant wait!


                    J-rod,

                    the stands were a bit scarce in some sections but thats becasue there was a ton of people in the infield partying and watching the race too. 30k tickets were sold for the event it was a good showing...

                    See yall in TEXAS!

                          Drift Alliance will be representing hard with Tony Angelo, Chris Forsberg, and Vaughn Gittin. Ryan Hampton is having car problems so he wont be able to make it. I also heard rumors of Dai and Orido showing up!!!
