Ken Gushi at Pikes Peak 2014
The original video youtube title is a bit misleading, we've seen Toshiki Yoshioka drift quite a lot of corners at last year's Pikes Peak when it was raining. This year Ken Gushi goes to Pikes Peak straight after Formula Drift at Wall Speedway. The Gush pulls the e-brake at some turns and has some fun like it's his second nature, but quickly gets back in grip mode as it is dry and tires need to be saved for the whole climb and drifting is not the fastest way up. Enjoy the video with Scion Racing FR-S and Ken Gushi race up Pikes Peak from his POV helmet cam. Ken finished the course in 10:30.188 hitting the podium in 3rd place out of 18 entries in the Time Attack 1 Class!

In our previous coverage from Homestead-Miami Speedway we spoke about how hot this season is for the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S drivers and how unfortunate this season actually had been for the either high or low budget FT86 teams.
