    Judges and Exhibition drivers:

    Yoshinori Koguchi
    Tarzan Yamada
    Ucchi Utsumi

    Points Leaders (After 1 round)

    Samuel Hubinette -Team Mopar Viper
    Chris Forsberg - Motorex 350 Z
    Hiro Sumida - Drift Association by Club 4 AG

    Interesting notes:

    1. Coming off a huge win a the International Drifting shootout and qualifying 1st in FD ATL, Team Rotora's Ken Gushi seems to have a ton of momentum going into Houston

    2. Alex Pfeiffer was recently approached by a few AE loyalists to have him sign copies of the AE car manuals.

    3. EA Games', Need For Speed Underground has recently signed as the Title Sponsor of Formula Drift and it was recently announced that NFSU2 will be debuting in the early parts of the 4th quarter. Additionally EA will hold a NSFU contest at each FD event with the winner going along in a drift and drive with one of the Japanese pros.

    4. East Coast stand-outs continue to make their presence known. Vaughn Gittin, Eric Jacobs and Ben Schwartz have been almost unstoppable as they advanced to the later rounds in FD ATL. In other East Coast news, Tony Angelo has made the West Coast his permanent residency for the moment. We hear he is rooming with another East Coast transplant, Team Motorex's Chris Forsberg.

    5. Rumor has it due to the East Coast's many talented drivers there is an East Coast FD planned for the '05 schedule

    6. The top 16 drivers at each event will now be introduced "WWE Style" with the sound of their "theme song" playing overhead. Alex Pfeiffer has asked for the Hawaii Five-O theme song while Ernie Fixmer opted for Sponge Bob Square Pants song.

    7. In a recent pole question asked of the drivers, "Britney or Christina?", the overwhelming victory goes to Britney by a landslide 73%
