When we last left off, Matt's crew chief Costa Gialamas had just begun the heavy fabrication and had just about finished the cage. The team's funding had come in quite late from title sponsors and with a late start there were only six weeks to finish the car!

Supposed to be by Eric Hsu, Really by Mike Kojima
In our last segment we had a look at the entirely new front suspension of the Team America/ARK Design's BNR32 Skyline GT-R. With a tight deadline, Eric can not get around to writing these updates so I am doing them for him. The car is scheduled to be loaded in a container to Australia by early June and the clock is ticking. I don't know how we are going to make it but everyone on the team is cranking in all of their free time.

A recap show with guests talking about the results at the Formula Drift and Global Time Attack at Road Atlanta
by Bill Wood
This week we start an in-depth look at what could become a problem. We're taking a look at the diminishing number of Americans in the American rally championship. There was only one in the top five at last weekend's Oregon Trail Rally, the third of six in the American championship. Was that an anomaly? A fluke? The future? We talk with the latest winner in the championship. We talk with the biggest winner in the championship. And we talk with a champion from Canada. You'll find their analysis fascinating and part of a discussion we’ll continue on the World Rally Sport website.
Company Profile: AMS Performance
By Wes Dumalski
AMS Performance... No we are not talking about the knock off CDM version we are talking about the original Automotosport hailing from Chicago Illinois. Truth be told I spent some time at the AMS shop last November and began working on this article. It should have been before your eyes long ago, I should have been able to belt out a piece regaling you with their amazing records in the drag racing, power output, and time attack worlds. I should have been touting their accomplishments in the EVO and GTR worlds. SHOULD is the operative word here. The reality was that I didn't want to write THAT article. Hell every AMS article talks about their accomplishments from 8 Second Evo's and GTR's, to one of the most dominant time attack cars in US history. And while those are the things that AMS is best known for NONE of them would be possible without a key ingredient. That's right I am going to brush those things aside and focus on what makes AMS tick.... PEOPLE.
Proposed Amendment to Outlaw Drifting in Atlanta
The Atlanta City Council has passed an ordinance prohibiting Drifting on private property located within 1000 feet of a residentially zoned district. THIS ELIMINATES DRIFTING AT TURNER FIELD! Our only hope is to convince the Mayor to VETO this amendment, and to convince the council to remove the ordinance after the VETO. Come sign the petition NOW!
