During Formula Drift‘s first Florida event last weekend, there were many bobbles, a few spins, and even a couple of wrecks.

For the first time
Formula DRIFT history, the war was brought to the battlegrounds in
Florida at the
Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR). Locals got to witness a "Battle of the Mustangs" as
Justin "JTP" Pawlak took another victory this year in his
Falken Tires Ford Mustang against last year's champion,
Vaughn Gittin, Jr. and his
Monster Energy/Falken Tires Ford Mustang.
Darren McNamara (who qualified 2nd) and his Falken Tire
Saturn Sky ended up in 3rd place after defeating number one qualifier
Chris Forsberg and his
NOS Energy Drink Nissan 370Z. Florida was very very good to Falken Tires! In fact, Florida was very good - period.

Right now I'm sitting in the media tower at
Road Atlanta while practice continues just over the hill on the course. That's right, Allen Iverson, we're talkin' about practice! Not the game, but practice. With that being said, even though it
was practice, the drivers were pushing it to the limit and beyond. Many cars ended up in the kitty litter on the initiation corner and some went into the wall.
