If you’re tires aren’t smoking, you’re not drifting hard enough…
BFGoodrich Drift Team Set to Kick-Off Drift Mania Canadian Championship Season
Tight turns at high speeds, and tires that seemingly smoke for days are what each BFGoodrich drift team member brings to the table. Ryan Lanteigne, who impressed drift fans last year with his perfect lines and tricked out car, returns for his second season with BFGoodrich. Joining Ryan will be new team members, Carl Nadeau and Claude Poirier.
“We’re back and we’re going to be better than ever,” says BFGoodrich Drift Team driver Ryan Lanteigne. The competition better watch out!”
Lanteigne’s precision and consistency make him a threat whenever he gets behind the wheel, while Nadeau’s daredevil nature makes him a force to be reckoned with. Both love the thrill of drifting and are not afraid of pushing their tires to the limit. The drivers can also count on Claude Poirier’s experience in car racing to be an asset to this year’s team.
About the Vehicles:
Ryan’s back with his “Billy Goat”, a 450HP V8 LS2 Pontiac GTO, complete with RKSport coil-over suspension and a Wilwood big brake kit. Carl Nadeau’s “Monster Solstice”, a convertible Pontiac Solstice, will be ripping up the track, thanks to the 5.7 litre V8 LS6 engine that packs 450 ponies under the hood. Claude is set to drift in his “Nancy”, a Nissan 240SX, which boasts Battle Version suspension and nearly 500HP. The three cars are equipped with BFGoodrich g-Force™ T/A® KDW tires.
The Team Takes the Track to the Net:
Carl and Ryan are also set to own the Internet like they own the track when drift fans get to follow them on Twitter throughout the season. Also make sure to check out videos, pictures and BFGoodrich Drift Team driver profiles by visiting www.bfgoodrichdrift.ca.
