KYLE MOHAN’S RX-8 DRIFT BEAST

Anyone who has seen pro driver Kyle Mohan drift knows he can coax awe-inspiring angles from his stout 2009 Mazda RX-8. Mohan, 27, hails from Long Beach, Calif., and works at nearby Mazdatrix in Signal Hill.

Mohan Cracks Top-16 at Infineon Raceway

Mohan Cracks top-16 at Infineon Raceway
August 28, 2009 (Signal Hill, Calif.) – It seemed like a cruel joke, but Kyle Mohan could hardly believe his ears after qualifying for the Formula Drift Pro Championship at Infineon Raceway. For the third time this season, he would have to face Cooper Tires teammate and friend Tony Brakohiapa in the round of 32.
Brakohiapa had the upper hand against Mohan in their first two meetings this year, and Mohan was determined not to let it become three. The two contrasting cars – Mohan’s Mazda RX-8 and Brakohiapa’s Ford Mustang – ran extremely close together in their first pair of runs. So close, in fact, that the judges called for the first One More Time of the day. In the first run of the rematch, Mohan ran a deep line while chasing, nearly causing him to lose drift. But on the second run, Brakohiapa had a big correction while chasing, and the judges advanced Mohan to the top-16.
