Growing up my mama always said, "Don't judge a person by your first impression of them." Well, not in those words, exactly, but a loose Korean translation. But try as I might, it's hard not to cast judgments from the first few moments of interaction-shallow opinions are quickly cast, which are close to immutable. The same can be said about going out. When it comes to restaurants, house parties, clubs, and, pertinent to the story at hand, car shows, I'll know within seconds whether or not I'm at the right spot or if I should make two right turns and bounce from the spot. My gauge? The parking situation.

After the Formula D Diary debacle of last month with none of our drivers landing on the podium, we're back at an all-new track, Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J., for a fresh start. For Chapter Three, the same eight drifters are back to tell us every little detail that went down in the Northeast. From repaired mechanical problems to new ones brewing, a two-way tie for First between Chris Forsberg and Samuel Hubinette for overall points chase, and last year's champ, Tanner Foust, trailing slightly, will the third time be the charm for our drifters?
