Andrew Coomes in 4th place had a little over heating issue in qualifications, but came back during the top 8 battle with minor modifications to compensate in 110 degree heat. Although he placed, he had slower speeds and a little less traction in the rear. His consistent runs landed him an invite to ProAm Internationals.

Roland Gallagher took a step up during the Top 4 Battle with high entry speeds, sticking it to the wall. During Tandems, he was paired up with Forrest Wang in his S13.4. Unfortunately, Forrest wouldn’t allow for Gallagher to top him, taking aggressive initiations at high speeds. Gallagher straightened out in the 2nd corner. Later he was paired with Andrew Coomes, to battle out for 3rd place. Both drivers had solid runs, but Gallagher was able to impress the judges with his aggressive high speed initiations. He manage to scrap wall on initiation, dragging the bumper across the clipping point.

Johnny Kanavi and Forrest Wang paired up for the final battle. Both drivers carried high speed into the course, initiating with aggressive faints. Forrest Wang was able to carry higher speeds then Kanavi. Wang carved the walls like a surfer riding a wave. Through the tight and technical corners, Kanavi straightened out a few times. Wang took 1st place going fully locked in his fully built S13.4.

Congratulations to all drivers in 2009′s Vegas ProAm. We hope to see a few of you invade Evergreen Drift. I hope the rumors are true.

1.) Forrest Wang
2.) Johnny Kanavi
3.) Roland Gallegher
4.) Andrew Coomes
