STANCE at Formula Drift Atlanta and in Japan
The Atlanta stop for Formula Drift is always one of the most entertaining; the track is fast and makes for exciting tandem battles, the fans are wild, and this event has been known to set the pace for the rest of the FD season. In the Pro 1 category, we had Alec Hohnadell in his supercharged LS3 S14 and Dan Burkett in his 2JZ Mark 4 Supra both running custom valved XR3 suspension. Danny George,Crick Filipi, and George K. were present for the Pro 2 category.
