This was a report we got from everythingdrift.com’s live updates.
There was a delay on the results due to a contesting of a calling by Formula Drift driver Takatori. He felt that neither of his tires had dropped off course during his final run and he would have had a better score if they judges mis-called him. After a review by Formula Drift Judge Andy Yen and with the help of Belle-1 Racing Communications, they we’re able to review the tapes and see that the right call was made by the judges during his initial qualifying run.
We are all about a just cause and calling things on how it is in the sport to make things right but Takatori….you scored a 93.00 and you were in 5th place. 5. M. Takatori - 93.00
What do you think should of happened? Being in a comfortable qualifying position should you protest or do you let it go?

Due to a miscommunication at Formula D this weekend Calvin Wan and Bill Sherman were told that they didn’t need to qualifying because they were 17/18 in Long Beach according to qualifying score to top 16. 2 seeded drivers did not arrive in Atlanta so they were thought to advance but drivers were told unseeded were taking 18. Due to this lack of communication they allowed Bill and Calvin a bye round and still took 18 qualifying drivers. Our qualifying information was from poor sources and Jacob at everythingdrift.com helped us shed some light on who the correct drivers advancing are.
Bye- Bill Sherman

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nick and the whole Bollea family, we know it must be a hard time the family is going through and things just seem to stay falling in a downward spiral.
This came from Autoblog today:
Today in Clearwater, Florida, a judge sentenced Nick Bollea, son of famous WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan, to eight months in jail for reckless driving. Last August Bollea crashed his father’s yellow modified Toyota Supra into a palm tree while street racing. Not only did he total the car, but his friend John Graziano who was riding shotgun that night will now require lifetime medical care for his critical injuries. The young Hogan was reportedly led off to serve his sentence immediately after it was handed down by the judge. In addition to the jail time, Bollea will also be on probation for five years and lose his drivers license for three. After all the hoopla that’s led us to this point in Nick Bollea’s tragic story, the only thing we can say is that the roads are probably safer tonight.

Tons of photos from Day 1 of Formula D Atlanta. It was hot, crazy, and we watched Ross Petty try to ram people off the track into oblivion! It was a crazy day and I think everyone is glad to get a couple hours rest from the heat.
