I don't have a solid list.
Justin Pawlak qualified 1st.


Alternates for top 16 were :
Nick Hogan
Aaron Losey
Casey Quillen
Lindsay (PG)

Top 16 Action:
Ameen Rizvi and Jon Rusakott were running tandem. On the 2nd run Jon was leading and running turn 1 hard. He pushed a tad to far and tapped the rear of the car onto the krail and just drove up it landing on his side.

-Top 8: Lance Feliciano Vs. Ameen Rizvi. They both ran and pushed each other hard. Lance ended up taking top honors in this bout.

-Chris Mendoza Vs. Doug Van Den Brink. Doug looked real strong in the Stang but Chris took a fairly easy win.

-Justin P. and David P. advanced.



Top 4: Lance F. Vs. Justin P.
This was nuts. Formula D worthy tandem action!!!!!!! They did one more time. Lance ended up getting a victory and moved to finals.

David Padron Vs. Chris Mendoza
Chris snapped a power steering pump and David ended up moving to the finals.


Finals: David P. and Lance F.
David ended up taking a win.

Glad to see Justin and Lance get licensed I was pushing for them. Wish I could've been there sounds like great action. Sucks for those who hit the wall but thats drifting. Its like riding a motorcycle there are those who have gone down and those that are, hope everyone comes back from it better.

So who else got their license? Was it only the 3 mentioned?

[Slapshotnerd]

check the other thread

3 drivers got their licenses through the Pro Am final on Saturday, then 8 drivers got provisional and 8 got full season licenses at the FD Licensing event on Sunday (which was top 20 pro-am drivers, and all drivers from 2006 without a point).

I've been looking for other threads. I guess I am just missing it. I was just going to your site to see if it was there. Thanks anyways.

Actually, 4 people got their licenses on saturday. I lost to david in the semis but couldn't get back out to go against justin for 3rd because my power steering belt fell off battling against David.

There are too many names and faces I owe thanks to for this weekend so, I'll just say thanks to everyone!

Thanks to USDA for the most fun event I've ever been to.

Hope to see everyone in Long Beach!

They gave out four licenses on saturday. John Yim said that the judges liked the level of driving so they hooked me up as well. As for my car, the power steering belt fell off so I couldn't compete with Justin for 3rd. Didn't have enough time to fix it and hell if I was going to drive with no power steering with that wall and with the fact that I drove my car to the event from socal.

[Stannyboy]

oh damm i didn't know that chris.. congrats man.. good driving.. driving out there was well worth it..

[Tracy]

Congrats to everyone! Good job!
