Another great main event gallery from our Canadian DMCC photographer Jeremy Glover who made the hike from Canada to cover Round 1. He hitched the trip with Formula Drift rookie Dave Briggs who unfortunately failed to qualify for his first event with one powerful Nissan 350z. He caught an awesome glimpse of Saturday at Formula Drift Streets of Long Beach.

Dave Briggs team just released another video of him testing at the Walt James Oval over at Willow Springs. The candy red Nissan 350z has plenty of space for sponsors if anyone is interested. The NASCAR powered V8 is an over the top build on the level of ASD which really places some pressure to perform on Dave Briggs with such a well built car. He will clearly be going for rookie of the year along with the other 18 guys showing up at Long Beach next week!
While some video has been posted of this car testing our photographer and others will get an up close look at the Nissan 350z running a NASCAR engine today at Tech Day. Here is a quick picture of how the 350z looks from the outside all put together. The car is running a Vertex Body Kit and features HRE wheels. Dave Briggs will be on Falken Tires for the 2012 season.
The Pro Am finals at Irwindale Speedway were an insane one that took place before the big show Final Fight. Several Am guys looked amazing through the weekend like Dave Briggs who ended up spinning in competition. Another ASD Mob driver Brian Peter who ran in the Midwest Drift Union all year took home first place. This is the results:
1. Brian Peter (Midwest Drift Union)
2. Julian Jacobs (Thunder Drift)
3. Pat Goodin (Street Wise Drift)
