<div>It hasn’t taken long for Vaughn Gittin Jr. to get used to his new 2010 Mustang drift car. After a slow start, Gittin has steadily been climbing the ranks of the Formula Drift championship. He now stands in third place overall after a seventh place win at Sonoma’s Infineon Raceway. <br />

<br />
Gittin performed exceptionally at Sonoma on August 22nd, beating out <a href="http://www.falkentire.com/" target="_blank">Falken</a> teammate Ross Petty. Petty spun trying to catch Gittin. Gittin then faced off against Justin Pawlak, driving a 2009 Mazda RX-8. Pawlak, who ranks 10th overall, also fell to Gittin’s sharp angles and massive smokeshow. But Stephen Verdier and his 2006 WRX (which is 5 position and 35 points shy of Gittin) got the best of the Mustang master, forcing him into early retirement. Verdier went on to win the race.<br />
<br />
But it was enough of a win to advance Gittin two spots, from 5th to 3rd place overall, edging out Sam Hubinette and his Charger SRT8 by just over two points. That puts Gittin within striking distance of Ryan Tuerek and his Pontiac Solstice, who has 414 points. But it would take a miracle to steal a win from Chris Forsberg and his 2006 350z, who has a commanding lead of 56 points over Tuerek. But no matter how Gittin finishes at the final event in October at the Irwindale Toyota Speedway, he put on a good show for Mustang and drifting fans everywhere.</div>
