I just got back from this, I forgot the guys name, but whoever drove the AEM 350z ended up winning, i think followed by Ryhs Millen in the GTO and the Rockstar s13. Not sure, since i've been awake for about 48 hours. I've got some fairly good pictures if anyone wants them

Sam Hubinette took second.
Rockstar S13 got third.

The Viper never should have gotten to the Final Four, IMO.

My take on the event:

Top 16

1 Daijiro Yoshihara(rockstar s13) defeats 16 Hubert Young(red/grey falken s13) - Dai was amazing this weekend

7 Calvan Wan(falken G35 coupe) defeats 9 Chris Forsberg(Sear Auto 350z roadster) - Looks like Chris isn't used to the car yet and spins on the second run

4 Vahn Gitten Jr.(Falken 06 stang) defeats 12 Hiromi Kajikuma(pink hachi with the chick on the side) - First Woman to make the top 16

5 Samuel Hubinette(damn dirty viper) defeats 13 Ross Petty(s13fastback w/rb26) - Ross should of won the first set but the judges wanted a one more time and Sam put too much pressure on the second set

2 Tanner Faust(AEM yellow 350z) defeats 15 Kenshiro Gushi(red Ford Racing 06 stang) - Ken looked like he had bugs to work out in his new stang but Tanner Was invincible the whole weekend

10 Casper Canul(blue s14.5) defeats 8 William Sherman(rps13 firebird conversion) - Casper learned how to handle those slower hick cars :D just kidding. Casper looked 10 times better this year

3 Rhys Millen(GTO) defeats 14 Rich Rutherford(RWD evo) - Rhys was Rhys and kickedass

6 Conrad Grunwald(mk4 supra) defeats 11 Taka Aono(falken hachi) - Canrad was perfect on the first run, Taka was great on the second run but the judges decided no more time

Great 8

Dai defeats Wan- first run was dai all over but the second was pretty even

Sam defeats Gitten - total B.S. Gitten totally owned sam on the first run then the second run was even.

Tanner defeats Canul - like I said Tanner was invincible

Rhys defeats Conrad - Rhys was on point

Semi Final 4

Sam defeats Dai - I'm sorry but the judges need to check their eye sight because Dai owned the both runs of the first set. His entries were so agressive in angle that sam initiated later that he normaly did just to catch up and put on pressure with low angle. Goes to one more time and dai spinsout in the horseshoe while following.

Tanner defeats Rhys - did I say tanner is invincible yet? first run tanner all day, second run tanner corrects coming out of the horseshoe but rhys blows a tire, goes off course at the last corner, then hits the wall.

Finals

Dai defeats Rhys for 3rd - I thought dai did better on both runs but the judges wanted a one more time. the second set I felt it was even with a slight advantage to Rhys but they gave it to the right man in the end.

Tanner defeats Sam for 1st - For the last time the man was invincible. No disputes no challenges. Tanners entry speeds were incredible, early initiations, perfect lines and tons of smoke
