Default Tampa Trib article + FD update

FYI...There is an article in the tampa tribune Sports section today...little history of drifting and about Bill's background..will scan it at the shop tomorrow and post.

Bill and the Bandit are now in Sonoma California for Saturday's Round 4 Formula D Event at the Infineon Speedway. This track is high-speed like Atlanta and should suit Bill's driving style really well...

He has to re-qualify for top 32 tomorrow, as he is now 18th in championship pts (only top 16 in pts are "pre-seeded"), so will post an update late tomorrow. Top 32 through the finals are on Saturday.

indeed, its like a slow 270* set into the long 180. but the rumble strips add to make it a difficult tight line to run, bump = spin if youre not ready.
