SVThopeful Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 With all the hardship at Ford lately, Ford Racing decided to hold an employee appreciation event at Ford Division’s building. Vaughn Gittin Jr and Doug Van Den Brink along with the Falken Tire rig came out for a drifting demo and to give rides. Unfortunately, Vaughn damaged his competition Mustang in Seattle two weeks ago, so he drove his Demo Car and Doug drove Ford Racing’s “Poster Child” GT500.
