[fcpmarcus]

james bondurant?? i thought he left drifting after he screwed over that one lady/team last year

[golden eye]

Bondurant? WTF. Looks like a lot of people on there dont even have a D1 license.

[ReDc0aT]

Where is JR?

[genius]

hope to see the top FD drivers participate so we can really see who the best of the best are.

pretty unlikely since formula drift's round 2 is a week after this event.


FINALLY! a drivers list! cant wait to see ben schwartz again behind the wheel!

Nice list. Glad to see some FD guys in there, too. I am excited to see Quoc Ly and Bill Sherman competing this weekend against the D1 guys. If Quoc does what he did in Long Beach, he should be able to hold his own against the big bad boys from Japan. Go Quoc....


Even though the top FD guys won't be competing, I like this list. I say we fans petition FD and D1 to hold a "UNITY" event somewhere in the future. Split the costs and share the profits. It has to be in SoCal, though, because that's where I live. lol

I remember reading in this forum about him a while ago, too. Supposedly he was living with this rich woman in a Beverly Hills mansion, daily driving a Ferrari, and getting paid handsomely to be a house boy. When all of a sudden he left without notice or anything.

I got dibs on the reward if the lady is still looking for him. lol

[NismoP10]

What about Yoshioka? I thought he's supposed to be driving the Driftspeed S15?

[Bebop]

There are a few good US drivers on there

A whole lot of proven bad ones

And a few I suspect to say "I'm just happy to be here"

Where is:

Russakoff
Powers
Pawlak

These guys are based out of so cal and own there own vehicles.....

And why wasn't Sherman at long beach, and is listed for anaheim. But Not listed for atlanta (near his home town)

[OldSkool510]

Pawlak would be a nice addition to the list.

[OldSkool510]

This is the confirmed drivers list.
and counting!!

Hurry up Ali.Vegas oddsmakers needs the list so they can set the line. Time is money.

What about Yoshioka? I thought he's supposed to be driving the Driftspeed S15?

Is he driving or not? This is what you said in a post yesterday......"YOSHIOKA is driving Driftspeed's S15 at D1 in Anaheim! The rumor mill on here is brutal!

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE, SEE YOU AT ANGEL STADIUM MAY 2ND"

Please clear this up.
