The 2012 Saint Louis Auto Show wowed attendees with champion Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s signature drifting. He twice won a D1 Grand Prix event, won the D1GP USA vs. Japan, and brought home the gold in the D1GP World Championship, among many other wins. Vaughn Gittin Jr. drifted every single day at the 2012 Saint Louis Auto Show, sponsored by Ford.

Not only did audiences get to experience this champion and his machine in person, he also signed autographs inside the Dome. Those new to drifting quickly realized that this event was a highlight of the 2012 Auto Show.

A few lucky fans got to truly admire the classic Vaughn style – aggressive, foot-to-the-floor, big smoke driving style – by seeing it from the passenger’s seat. The Saint Louis Auto Show gave two lucky winners the opportunity to ride next to Vaughn Gittin Jr. as he showed St. Louis what drifting really is.

When you combine Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s drifting with the Million Dollar Mile, the EcoCity, Kids’ Zone, and over 500 vehicles from over 25 manufacturers all under one roof – you can start to picture how incredible this year’s Auto Show truly was.
