Ryan Clemens who works at Hot Line Performance (Justin Pawlak’s shop) was able to take home top honors at Just Drift Round 3 this weekend. He drove hard in his LS1 powered FC Rx-7 (seen following above) resulting in a great victory for the weekend. Steffan Moy who landed in second place is actually Fredric Aasbo’s spotter as well giving another great connection to Formula Drift in this grassroots competition.

Wrecked Magazine blogger Dave Briggs continues his rampage of California drift events by taking home another win at Just Drift. This one comes at Horse Thief Mile for Top Drift Round 2. In the Top 16 he made some contact with the 16 place car but was able to get it back out in the Top 8 without a problem. He was able to wheel the ASD/Falken S14 to a first place qualifying spot and a top finish at Just Drift. Enjoy the Just Drift gallery if you would like to see how the event went. Here is how the Top 3 wound up:
