Drift Atlanta

Very interesting weekend to say the least. I would have to say that it was a good experience overall.

Let's start with the obvious. John Russakoff placed 4th. Congrats to him and the rest of the team for making it happen. It was definately a tough finish for him as he had electrical and gearbox issues the entire weekend. He really did come through driving his car as he went up against drivers like Chris Forsberg, Toshiki Yoshioka and Dai.

Taka Aono. I'm really feeling for him as he was doing great the entire weekend and he should have given Ryan Tuerck a run for his money. Unfortunatley, he had issues with his car as he was about to line up for his top 32 battle against the Camaro.

Alex Pfeiffer did a lot better than the scores showed. Not sure why he ended qualifying 33rd but I think he did whatever could to keep that car looking as good as it did. Even though that was his third event in that car, I think the results will soon follow.

Cyrus Martinez was focused and once again went up against Chris Forsberg for a second year in a row at Atlanta. Cyrus has shown a lot improvement since he was there last year and I am sure Chris noticed it.

Thanks to everyone including our sponsors for the support.

Team Megan Racing finishes 2nd at XDC

Alex Pfeiffer driving the Megan Racing 350z finishes 2nd at Round 2 of XDC in Arizona. The podium finish comes straight after 2 consecutive weekends of competition (Formula Drift and Team Drift).

The time behind the 350z was exactly what Alex needed to continue develop of the car and have him ready for Round 2 of Formula Drift in Atlanta.

We are expecting better results at the next event with the new tires provided by Nexen. The Nexen n6000 for the rears might help Alex and the car keep up with the competition.

The season has started for Team Megan Racing.

Round 1. Long Beach California. I have mixed feelings about this event. I am very pleased with the reaction our team has recieved. The overall look of the team was fantastic and we got a lot of praise for our "new" look. All four drivers did advance into Saturday with reasonable scores. Even the untested and completely revised Megan 350z surpased my expectations with Alex Pfeiffer behind the wheel. Moving to Saturday, I soon became frustrated to see all of our team members getting knocked out one by one. Not a single member of our team made into the top 16 spot which is very frustrating. I hope to see the team do better in Atlanta. I would like to thank a few people that helped make my journey a little better. Tom Flowers who came in during late hours to help do some final touches on the 350z before tech and round 1. Taka Aono. Your advice for the team has always made our lives easier at the Megan camp. Danny Aguiano. Thanks for the hard work even though you owe me 20 packs of cigarettes Nexen Tires Megan Racing K1 Race Gear Larry Chen of Speedhunters Julian for the great photos Thanks everyone. See you guys at the next round.
