Drifting started late today at the Grand Prix of Long Beach. Scheduled time was 11:35 a.m., but didn't actually start until 10 minutes after that. J.R. Gitten drove the Milano s13 due to his own car having lost 3rd gear. Casper Canul made his return with a new engine for the S14.
Alex Pfieffer had an engine fire midway through the session and was forced to retire. Marshalls put the fire out quickly, saving the car. Only minor cosmetic damage, but mechanical damage has yet to be determined in total.
Ken Gushi on his new Mustang, "I love it."
Hiro Sumida on the course, "Turn 6 if you know what i mean."
Hiro Sumida on the whole weekend, ""Incredible. I can't really explain it in words, just incredible."
Tarzan Yamada on the Long Beach track, "It was really fun to drive on the street course. The surface changes were difficult and challenging. The crowds reaction and cheers make me try my best and put on a great show. I really like the city atmosphere, because most of the tracks in Japan are surrounded with mountains, and the Long Beach track was in a city and by the ocean."
Alex Pfieffer on his car troubles, "The body work caught on fire. The exhaust came loose and the flames exited right under the engine, so it set fire to the oil return."

for some reason again great show I hope speedtv will think about taking on FD when the G4 contract is up SO more Car and Race Fans can see Drifting instead of videogamers (mis techtv part of g4 now its a waste of a channel imo) but glad they choose too air events this year.
