Here is a list for the northwestern United States Formula Drift Pro Am which seems to be loaded with events and opportunities for driver improvements. The guys up there show some true talent and if your in the area look at events from April to September to test your drifting skills.

Here are the results of the 2010 Vegas Drift Pro Am:
1st -Aurimas “Odi” Bakchis

Las Vegas Motor Speedway is one of the best motorsports facilities in the United States by a mile. Vegas Drift took over the Bullring Lot for this event. This marked the first Pro Am Round of 2010 held by the guys at Vegas Drift and we loved every minute of the event. A fierce top 16 battle winded the day down to show off some great talent from the region. Thanks to Ricky Cervantes for taking all of our photos at the event!

Am Driver Charles Ng Drifting a S14 in Japan

Charles Ng was at Formula D Pro Am and took home a license for 2010. He went to Japan and took on the YZ Circuit in a pretty much  stock S14. It was great to see him attacking a track overseas and we cannot wait to see him in Formula Drift for 2010.

2009 Am Profile – Mike Pollard

Mike Pollard was one of the few guys I wasn’t very familiar with before the Formula D Pro Am Finals at Irwindale Speedway. He showed up in the best tow vehicle and drove a long haul to attend the Pro Am. His qualifying runs were amazing and he finished 2nd overall which was the highest ranked American at the Am finals. This is another great production from Jerseystreets.tv as well!

Russell Walker – Am Driver Profile

Check out this great Am piece on Texas Am star Russell Walker. His S13 looks great and JerseyStreets.tv put together a great piece for him. Jarod DeAnda at the Am Finals dubbed him “Russell Walker Texas Ranger” and it looks like the name is stuck forever.
