Last week, I went straight from Nor Cal to St Louis, yes I MC’ed, yes we ate good food, yes Vaughn Gittin Jr. slayed some tires and the most important answer is, YES! I saw Nelly in St Louis…
Vaughn Gittin Jr. 2010 Formula Drift Champion hires me to MC his “Smoke Shows” and we kicked it off right at The St Louis Auto Show, 4 days of awesome drift shows driving a Mustang RTR and his demo vehicle skinned to look like his comp car…

Vaughn Gittin Jr. aka JR is NEVER not working, probably the hardest working dude in the drift world! A consummate thinker, worker and “do-gooder” for drifting in general of course building his driving prowess, his “brand”, the sport and just getting more people to learn, understand and expose people to drifting…
Thanks JR for the good times!
See ya soon buddy!
Myself, Chris of St Louis Auto Show, JR and “Square” Blair…
