Vaughn Gittin Jr. does his thing in the Formula Drift series [video]

Round 5 of the Formula Drift series took place at the Evergreen Speedway in Seattle, Washington

If your name is Vaughn Gittin Jr. you're either going to be a blues man or a race car driver.

In this video we see the drift racer Vaughn Gittin Jr. do his thing. Watch the footage from inside the cockpit and see how he tosses the wheel to set the car on the drift and then dials it back quickly to control it. Fun stuff.

Gittin finished in 8th place at Round 5 of the Formula Drift series which took place at Evergreen Speedway in Seattle, Washington.

Yay, let's go slow around a turn but look cool doing it. Drifting is lame.

Hmmm Imagine u loose control at 90MPH for any reason..... U who hates drifting will wrap yourself around the closest tree!!! Someone who knows drifting will recover and go back home in his car..... Keep an open mind bro.... It's like a rally on proper Ashfalt.........

Yes, drifting karts in the rain was great for learning car control WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD but for real racing this is NOT the way to do it. This is just flashy show where the actual racing is secondary. Drifting is like potato sack racing at your annual company picnic.
