Watch FD Vegas Live on Driftstream

If you weren’t able to make it to Vegas today and tomorrow for Formula Drift you can still watch live streaming coverage on Driftstream!

Head to http://www.justin.tv/driftstream to see clips of last night’s practice and tune in this afternoon to watch qualifying. If you are waiting for the live stream to start or missed anything you can watch the previous sessions and FD rounds (even Seattle) in the archive. You can also chat with drift fans from around the world!

Keep an out out for locals Nikolay Konstontanov, Victor Moore, Roland Gallagher, and Ian Fournier. Roland has experience on this course from running it at last years Vegas ProAm which should boost his confidence. Nikolay is coming of a top 16 finish from Seattle and both Ian and Victor are in strong positions to qualify as well.

Hopefully the video crew will also cover the Vegas Drift ProAm round that is going in conjunction with the FD event.

Speedhunters SDCOTY Award - Vote Northwest!

The good folks over at Speedhunters are gathering votes for their end of the year awards.

Looking at the “STREET DRIFT CAR OF THE YEAR” category list of nominees I found a couple of Northwest familiar faces.

The ethos of the Street Drift Car of The Year is “cars which carry a torch for true drift style and true drift culture. These machines should still be street legal(ish) in spirit and have oodles of visual presence.”

As of this moment Nikolay has a ton of votes and Ian and Earl have a few.

Hop on over to the Speedhunters thread to see the rest of the contestants and put in your vote in the comments section.
