Car gremlins have been taking a bite out of Ryan Tuerck’s luck as of late in the Retaks Scion FR-S. During his follow run against Aurimas Bakchis in the Feal Suspension/Nexen Tire/US Air Force Nissan 240SX, Ryan's car shut down just prior to the first rear clipping zone. Odi got the win by virtue of Ryan's breakage. |

| Speaking of Norway, the next driver up was The Hammer of Norway, Fredric Aasbo in the Hankook Tire/Motegi Racing Scion tC. He would face off against the wild one, Chelsea Denofa in the BC Racing BMW 3-series sedan. While I call him the Hammer of Norway, he's drives his car with a deft foot. With an outstanding lead run, Aasbo moved on to the Top 16. |
