ThunderDrift: Nor-Cal Formula Drift Pro-Am Round 3

Willows, CA – June 30th was Round 3 of the 2010 ThunderDrift Pro-Am Series, with Nor-Cal’s top drifters gathering to go for a shot at a pro license.  Of the three points leaders, two returned in new cars. Andy Gillespie was driving Tomasz Olech’s SR-powered Corolla while his Miata was down, and Ryan Kado was in his new orange S14, recently purchased from Inland Drift. Luke Lonberger was still using his Turbo LS1 S14.

Pic1NOS Energy Drink was out in full force, with photographers and models making the rounds and handing out free NOS to anyone who looked thirsty.  Resident judge Richard Kong was joined by Don Ahn and Conrad Grunewald to round out the judging staff for this round.

Pic2
Kado qualified first and was favored to win, but a stroke of fate pitted him against 8th qualifier Julian Jacobs in the Top 8 round. On the second run, Kado was following just a tad too close, hit the brakes, and straightened out for a second in turn 3, costing him the battle and giving him 5th place. Had he qualified 2nd, he would have finished 6th and lost out on an additional 30 points.

Pic3 Lonberger and Virgil Brosseau went One More Time in the Top 8 after Lonberger made an epic pass on the inside of Turn 3, sending him far off the track at the exit. Lonberger also went One More Time against Gillespie in the Final 4, and almost got another One More Time against Jacobs in the Championship Round, but Jacobs got the win. Gillespie went up against Josh Sher in the Consolation Round and came away with 3rd place.  This was Jacobs’ second win of the series, but he’s still in 4th place overall with 261 points, due to a poor finish in Round 2. Lonberger is still in 3rd with 285 points, Gillespie is hanging on to 2nd with 288, and Kado has the tenuous lead with 295.

Pic4 In addition to the Prizes and Trophies the drivers usually receive, NOS Energy Drink presented the winners with NOS Hats and Hoodies!

Pic5

With only 10 points separating 1st and 3rd, the series could still go to any of the top four drivers. All Kado has to do is show up to Round 4, and 5th Place Brosseau won’t be able to squeeze by.

The 4th and final round is August 31st at Thunderhill Raceway.  NOS Energy Drink will be there providing refreshments and adding to the excitement as the drivers make their final attempt at achieving Formula Drift greatness!

ThunderDrift: Nor-Cal Formula Drift ProAm Round 2

 Ryan

  Round 2 of the ThunderDrift Championship Series was a truly epic battle between some of Nor-Cal's best drifters.  The course was incredibly fast and challenging which put a serious amount of pressure on the drivers to minimize their mistakes.

Drift

  This was the largest turnout of the season and drivers even showed up from out of state to compete with Northern California's finest.  There were V8 powered imports, turbo charged 240's, and of course AE86 Corollas.

Td cars

   Shout out to our boy Geoff from Lab17 as he throws back a cold one!

Geoff

  During qualifying, the drivers were laying down the law and we saw who looked most promising for the tandem battle ahead.  One of the drivers that qualified in the top 8, Jared Thompson, experienced a mechanical failure with his waste gate breaking off of the manifold under the hood.  The remainder of the top 8 were: Andy Gillespie, Luke Lonberger, Ryan Kado, Scott Sherod, Julian Jacobs, Al Pulido, and Matt Madrigaldi.

  The winners of the event were some familiar faces in the Nor-Cal drifting scene: Ryan Kado, Andy Gillespie, and Luke Lonberger.  Shots provided by Mike Tseng Photography at the winner's podium.

    Come out this Wednesday, June 30th for Round 3: The Smell of Fear, where the NOS Team will be out in full force to support Nor-Cal's finest drifters.  For more information visit www.thunderdrift.com.
