Here is a quick snap shot (quite literally) of the official elimination table for tomorrow's Red Bull Drifting World Championship. Should be amazing day!

The top 5 qualifiers are as follows:

1: Rhys Millen: no surprizes there...

2: Samuel Hubinette: the FD drift royalty comes out on top....

3: Paul Vlasblom: BIG NEWS! he had the crowd screaming and yelling with his wall proximity and 100% foot to the floor style.

4: Katsuhiro Ueo: his drift initiations were amazing.

5: Darren McNamara: he looked fast and aggressive.

More to follow...

I wonder how Verdier is going to do in his GDB.  Cool machine but I hope Ueo pulls it out.

I really think that this is the way drift competitions should be run. TOP 32!!!!

Save for length, I think it'll really bring out the talent of the other drivers.

GO UEO.

btw Rod, any pictures of his S15?

Oh boy... There's some tough duels right off the bat huh?

Millen vs Gushi

Vlasblom vs Mad Mike

and Ueo vs Pawlak (now that's gonna be a sweet tandem run!)

Man, i don't even know who to root for... I've seen a ProDrift demo live, so I know that O'Sully and James Deane are two crazy drivers, but never saw 'em on a track up close...

Ah, hell with it - GO O'Sully and Deane!!!

Oh wow, Tengku Djan is facing James Deane. Hopefully he gets used to that 180SX and show them all how good he really is just like the D1 All Stars match.....
