Formula Drift Round 3: The Gauntlet
Wall Speedway in Wall, NJ - June 5-6, 2009
Formula DRIFT Comes Back to Wall Speedway
Wall Speedway has been re-opened and after a year hiatus Formula DRIFT is back. First opening in 1950 as Wall Stadium, Wall Speedway as it’s now known will host Round 3: The Gauntlet on June 5-6.
The track lives up to its moniker as the “Gauntlet” with a 16 degree banked oval along the straightaway and 30 degrees on the turns. The drivers will be challenged on this course and this track is the first on the schedule where drivers utilize the entire oval. This course is very tricky and many drivers have fallen victim to the degree of difficulty that the bank, straightaway, and inside turn creates. Each seat in the house has a great view of the action within the “bowl” and fans will not be disappointed.
Ryan Tuerck looks to retain his lead and secure his third consecutive podium finish on his home turf. After an exciting round in Atlanta, Chris Forsberg is back to the top of the podium and will look to overtake his Drift Alliance teammate on the road to his first Formula DRIFT Championship.
