2009 Formula Drift Round 4: Las Vegas Teaser
July 13th, 2009 | Published in Drifting
We made the trek to Las Vegas, NV for Round 4 of the 2009 Formula Drift Pro Drift Championship. With the power of the Canon EOS 50D and its inflated 15MP RAW images, we captured almost 50GB of images. So as you can imagine, we have a fair amount of images to go through and post-process. But here’s are a few of our favorites to whet your appetite. We had an interesting vantage point during the Top 16 and 32 battles.. Keep checking back for updates! Thanks!
Congratulations to Tanner Foust for making it back to the top of the podium. Ryuji Miki also demonstrated why he was a former D1GP Champion and fought his way back to the podium for a 2nd place finish.
(In the lead photo, Tyler McQuarrie and Tanner Foust battle it to the finish line. This was the race that led Tanner to the final round of the evening. Tyler McQuarrie would later succumb to the overpowering style of Chris Forsberg to take 4th place for the evening.)
