COLDTRACKDAYS & KINOD PHOTOGRAPHY // OFFICIAL 'RBWDC' PHOTO GALLERY

ColdTrackDays.com and Kinod Photography present: The 2008 RedBull World Drift Championship 'Official Photo Gallery'

This year marked the first RedBull World Drift Championship, and ColdTrackDays was there to cover it. Northwest correspondent Russell O'Connell was live in Long Beach to cover the action both on and off the track, and the guys from Kinod Photography were there to document the occasion via photograph. Northwest native Victor Moore competed in the Formula D Pro/Am, showing the world what the NW drift scene has to offer. Little practice time and a new car setup hindered his performance however, keeping him from advancing beyond the qualifying rounds. Good show none the less, and we look forward to following Victor's drifting career.

An otherwise epic event, the inaugural RBWDC saw the best of the best, with nearly every continent in the world appropriately represented. The finals came down to RedBull's own Rhys Millen vs. Dai Yoshihara, with Tanner Foust facing off against Sam Hubinette for the third place spot. It was a hard fought battle in the finals, that saw Yoshihara spin in the second tandem run, handing the first ever RBWDC title to Rhys Millen. Dai Yoshihara placed second, with Tanner Foust followed by Sam Hubinette filling the third and fourth place spots.
