The 2011 season got off to a rough start to say the least. Team SHR struggled with major engine failures on both cars. Sam Hubinette and the Dodge Motorsports Dodge Challenger was unable to make a qualifying run at Long Beach, forcing the “Crazy Swede” to miss the tandem drift elimination battles on Saturday.
Our own Dean Kearney, qualified for the show at Long Beach in his Mopar-powered SHR V-LEDS Dodge Viper SRT10. Kearney qualified No. 28 and fell in the opening round to Rhys Millen. Our amazing gallery documents moment by moment of the weekend shot by Tram Tran.
