Rhys Millen didn’t win at last weekend’s Irvindale Speedway Formula Drift event last weekend – the fault of a
power-steering pump that didn’t want to do its share of the work – but the driver still managed to win the series
championship. As silly as it may seem to have a season-long battle centered around oversteer, at least it was won in
the right manner – with a domestic RWD car powered by a V8. Er, rather, it was won by a car that’s built in Australia
with an engine that’s produced in Canada and a transmission that’s assembled in Mexico. Millen’s car is still damn
sweet, and one can imagine that Pontiac’s pleased with the outcome of its involvment in this sport.
