Pro AM wrap up:
Street-Wise Drift ran 5 FD Pro AM events in 2010 along side its growing East Coast amateur event series. The Pro AM drivers stepped up their game early in the year during the March and April Pro AM rounds held at the famed Charlotte Motor Speedway road course.
SWD’s new blood Pro AM talent then continued to round 3 at Road Atlanta for a top 16 battle in front of thousands of fans in conjunction with Round 2 of the Formula Drift Championship Series. With only 2 more events to go, SWD’s Field of Pro AM drivers would soon face back to back competition events on Z MAX Dragway’s perfect surfaces, 85+ MPH entry’s speeds and technical sweepers that challenged not only the drivers but their cars as well. Its was a great season and we look forward to doing it again next year.
