Bill Sherman made a major and impactful return this weekend at Formula D Sonoma by finishing on the podium with his Retaks Nissan 240sx. His victory this weekend shows that the recipe of a familiar car and a quality driver will get you the points in Formula Drift. It never seemed clear to us at Wrecked Magazine why Bill Sherman was left on the bench for the 2008 season to begin with? His aggressive and FAST style are a recipe for disaster when facing opponents in the top 16. Let’s take a flashback to the Enjuku Racing days with Bill Sherman and his Nissan 240sx.
Bill Sherman was able to win the 2007 NOPI Drift Championship by a landslide and although the competition wasn’t as fierce compared to Formula D it definitly showed he was a serious player. Over the course of 2007 Enjuku Racing ran a double schedule and managed to stay very competitive in Formula D over the same season. At Road Atlanta he even managed to battle Rhys Millen in a contraversal battle where the judges granted Rhys Millen a victory but the fans boo’d with disdain and many media outlets questioned the judges call with some replay videos.
So just in case Bill Sherman disappears again let’s not forget he is a serious player in the Drifting game and keep an eye on him. Let’s see if he can repeat with a strong finish at Irwindale!
