The speaker discusses the seeding bracket for Formula Drift Atlanta. They give their predictions for each matchup, choosing winners based on factors like previous performance and car issues. The speaker also mentions their disappointment with certain drivers and their confidence in others. They conclude by expressing their belief that Vaughn Gittin Jr. will move on to the main event. Formula Drift Atlanta is this weekend. So today we're going to be going over the seeding bracket and the main event bracket. Starting off with the seeding bracket we've got Diego Higa vs the Byron. It's obvious who wins that. Then we have Derek Madison vs Demetri Brutski. I hope Derek gets his car sorted out after the mishaps at Long Beach. I just think Demetri Brutski is going to have a better run. Nothing against Derek, but I don't think he's all prepared yet. So I'm going to go with Demetri Brutski on this one. Next up we have Mike Power vs Rad Danbrickett. Say what you want about these two, I just think Mike Power is way more consistent. Give me Mike Power. Then we have Kyle Mohan vs Conor Shanahan. Look Shanahan's been doing pretty good. I'm going to roll with Shanahan on this to beat Mohan. Give me Conor Shanahan on to the main event. Next up we have Jeff Jones vs Rudy Hanson. Man, what a duo. But I will say Jeff Jones is on a tear. I will go with Jeff Jones on this one. We have Ben Hobson vs Ryan Littrell. I'm still disappointed about Ben Hobson at Long Beach. However I do think the RTR cars are going to be good in Atlanta. I don't see it though. Give me Ryan Littrell winning over Ben Hobson. Next up we have Juwau Berrion vs Frederico Sharifo. Look man, I am not sold on Juwau Berrion. I know he's a very good driver, he just has a mechanical every single run. So I can't trust it. With this one, give me Frederico. And finally we have Andy Haitley vs Vaughn Gittin Jr. I would be stupid not to pick Vaughn Gittin Jr. at Atlanta. He sweeped it last year. So I'm going to do just that. I have Vaughn Gittin Jr. moving on to the main event. And that is my seeding bracket prediction. Stick around tomorrow. I will be releasing my predictions for the main event.
