El Camino Drift Car

Post by **rico05** » Sun Jun 20, 2004 3:15 pm

My buddy Derrick Rogers is the man! He competed in Formula D this last weekend in Houston, and took 12th! He did very well in a field of properly setup full on race cars, and is now tied in points with Rhys Millen. Here is some info on the car as well as video and drivers notes! Their proposal to Dunlop tires is looking VERY promising, so you Cali guys beware: ElCo is commin to take you down!!!

race cars or drift cars... two different things.

Race cars don't do well "drifting".
