Bakchis surprises with win at XDC Round Two at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

May 24, 2010 (Las Vegas, Nev.) – On a hot, windy day at the Proving Grounds of Las Vegas Motor Speedway, XDC debutante Odie Bakchis outdrove a stellar field of thirty drivers to win the first ever drift event held on the LVMS road course. Bakchis, who competes in the regional Vegas Drift series and is a regular at Southern California’s Thursday Night Drift, defeated Forrest Wang, Alex Pfeiffer, upstart Ryan Kado and Quoc Ly on his way to a surprising victory at the Proving Grounds and the $3000 check that went along with it.

Westminister, California’s Quoc Ly would finish second and earn $2000, with Flagstaff, Arizona’s George Marstonavic finishing third to earn $1000, and eighteen-year-old Kado from Sacramento, California earning $500 for fourth. Ly also earned an extra $150 for winning the Retaks Insane Entry Award, while the top-three earned prizes from Del Taco for their results.

It was a drama-filled day in Las Vegas, beginning in qualifying when round 1 winner David Briggs failed to advance to tandem competition. In the top-16, James Evans eliminated Formula Drift driver Jeff Jones after a One More Time, before Kado and Wang squared off. Wang put in one of the best chase runs of the day, only to blow an engine and forfeit the round to the upstart Kado. Kado then eliminated Formula Drift driver Pfeiffer to advance to the Final Four.

XTREME DRIFT CIRCUIT FORMED FOR 2010
-Nationwide drifting championship will showcase rising drift stars and feature lifestyle events across the country

November 9, 2008 (Tustin, Calif.) — With an eye on developing the future drifting stars of America, the Xtreme Drift Circuit has been formed and will kick off its first championship season in 2010.

As the professional drifting landscape has progressed, there has been a groundswell of drivers that have the potential to compete at the highest levels of the sport but haven’t had the chance to demonstrate their potential. The XDC will offer these drivers a chance to shine with a championship series that will be run to professional standards and will subsidize the costs of competition to the drivers – making the XDC a professional drifter’s first step to achieving their dreams.

The XDC will be an affiliate series of the Formula Drift Pro Championship, placing the winner of each event into the Pro-Am Nationals at the end of the season. The top three drivers in the season championship will also have a spot in the Pro-Am Nationals, providing an elevated avenue of competition for drivers who cannot yet make the jump from regional competition into a professional national series.
