Stephen Papadakis, interesting that he qualified, well good luck!

[ZoltecRules]

Hiro S. hit the wall during his run in the Elite 8... Saw him in the pits afterwards... pretty upset... the soarer should be alright though, just a bashed wheel, door out of alignment, and maybe some suspension damage...

[VDMTom]

thanks! How did Dai do?? or Calvin

[ZoltecRules]

WOW that's cool that stephan qualified 3rd.

It was an amazing event.
Soldier Field Formula D track has been deemed
"THE GAUNTLET"
for obvious reasons it murdered 20+ cars it looked to be a straught forward track and not very challenging yet it challenged every single driver.

Thanks Chicago for having us it was a great event
weather, fans, drifters, overall it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Chicago definitely "Sent It"........................

Chicago if you wnat us back to "The Gauntlet" email Formula Drift feedback and give us your advice and praise either and/or.

Anyone have a list of the top 16 qualifiers? How about battles and places? Did JR get to run at all? Was hampton driving the camaro?

That mustang has been giving them a WORLD or trouble it seems. What happened exactly?

J-Rod thanks for the ClubFR shout out.

Ryan Hampton's car wasnt running too great. Same with JRs but JR used Ben Schwartzs car and did pretty good for never driving the car and for the fact that thing doesnt seem to be running right.

S. Yamamoto
T. Schulz
M. Vassallo
M. Peters
V Gittin
T McQuarrie

[Slapshotnerd]

here's the full rundown ( i just got back to LA)

top 16
dai beat seigo
sam beat tony schulz
hiro beat matt vassallo
kenji beat bubba drift
JR beat Taka in Ben Schqartz car
Tyler beat John Yim
Steph beat Chris Forsberg
Gush beat Rhys (INCREDIBLE RUN!! 2 passes, they touched, rhys lost his power steering, but still ran again)

top 8:
sam beat dai
hiro crashed against kenji
tyler beat JR
gushi barely beat out papadakis

then the rest u can figure out.

it was an incredible weekend. very awkward course (due to the drainage ditches and the pitch of the whole parking lot). hopefully they can find a better area for next year.

Calvin didn't get past the first round of tandem, Dai got 4th (not totally sure on that one)

calvin dind't even qualify neither did Tanner Foust, Robbie nishida, and several others. Hubert young crashed, Alex hit the s2k pretty damn hard on his first qualifying run (but put on a show!).

it was a nutty weekend
