George Marstanovic (above), from Flagstaff, Arizona, finished third overall after winning the Consolation Round when Maui, Hawaii’s Joshua Steele (below), driving the NST / NOS Energy Drink / Neverslo Nissan S13.4, was unable to make the second run of the round.

 

For DeNofa, the 2010 XDC Champion and driver of the Nexen / Non Stop Tuning / Technica BMW E36, the road to the final round was not an easy one. After qualifying first for the event, he enjoyed a bye run in the first round when Robert Turnbow’s Toyota Cressida was unable to compete. DeNofa then survived the toughest battle of the day when he went two One More Time’s against Forrest Wang before advancing to the Final Four where he had yet another One More Time against Marstanovic before advancing into the Final.

 Chris Forsberg was out keeping things fun giving demo rides to 3 people at a time in his Infiniti M45 with 4 racing seats!
