The ProAm drivers got their first shot at the famous Toyota Speedway course in today’s practice dress rehearsal for tomorrow’s big showdown.

The big news is that all drivers who qualify for the to 16 will receive their Formula Drift professional license. With 22 drivers some guys will not make it this year so the pressure is on to qualify well.

The Northwest drivers were holding it down in practice and growing comfortable with the track by the end of the session.

The only carnage was Roland Gallagher who spun coming into the inner bank and hit the wall on the drivers side. The car suffered some damaged rear control arms, some bent sheet metal, and damaged wheels. FD pro and all around drift gangster Justin Pawlak let Roland and his crew use his shop to get the car ready for qualifying tomorrow so the Teal Tiger will  be ready for battle.

The Photo Finish Media crew is on hand and provided us with some teaser pics of the Evergreen Drift drivers from practice. Check back for a video and  more photos after the event.

A big thanks to the FD crew for running the practice. It was awesome to see Andy Luk and Jim Liaw out shagging cones. Mad respect.
