Kyle Mohan and his team race to the starting line in Seattle
July 16, 2010 (Signal Hill, Calif.) – The Kyle Mohan Racing crew breathed a collective sigh of relief when Mohan, in the Nexen / Mazdatrix Mazda RX-8 lined up next to Ryan Tuerck for the top-32 round of tandem competition at the fourth round of the Formula Drift Pro Championship at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington.
In the practice session that immediately preceded Friday’s qualifying, Mohan reported a vibration in the car, which his crew quickly determined was a problem in the rear suspension of the car. The problem led to Mohan scoring a zero on his first qualifying run, but he was able to gather it up and adapt to the car’s problems to put it in the field on his second run.
With limited access to the tools and materials needed to repair the car, a group of fans donated the use of their shop which was located close to Evergreen Speedway. Thanks to their help and generosity, the team was able to make repairs –which kept everyone up very late on Friday night – and have the car back on the ground for a couple of practice runs on Saturday before top-32.
Mohan’s battle with Tuerck was a close one, but the judges granted the victory to Tuerck and Mohan was out of the competition.
“To be honest, I was surprised at how closely our car was matched with Ryan’s in drift,” said Mohan. “I expected him to have a straight-line advantage that I would have to overcome, but considering our lack of practice the Nexen / Mazdatrix Mazda RX-8 was working really well. I definitely missed having the chance to do tandem practice, since I feel that our chase run was what cost us this round.”
The next round of the Formula Drift Pro Championship will be August 20-21 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
