Doug wins Palm Beach Formula Drift Pro-am

On June 4th, 2011 Doug Van Den Brink added another win to his resume this past weekend at Palm Beach Formula Drift Pro-am put on by Streetwise Drift. This was the first time that Formula Drift had an event at Palm Beach International Raceway and it had a very fast straight away of 90mph to the first clipping point with speeds dropping to 45mph for the second clip and zone clipping. Doug's Top 16 was against Bill Sherman, which he is always a tough competitor. He had to do a OMT (one more time) with Bill because of a throttle issue. Doug worked around the throttle issue and moved on to the Top 8. His Top 8 run was against Stenger and with two good runs Doug was in the top 4. His top 4 battle against Charles Thompson was one that he had to becareful with. Thompson was a very smooth driver but his Nissan 240SX had a lot less horse power than Doug's turbo charged Mustang. He quickly took care of Thompson and then it was time to face Ryan Kaufman in the Finals. Doug had his eyes set on the prize and he took it home.


Doug's next race will be at XDC Hyperfest June 18th in Summit Point. He won this race last year and he is looking forward to winning it again.
