So we have an epic team need for speed battle between powers and aasbo. Then if Kado beats Gushi then it could be Kado versus powers in a parts shop MAX battle? No one knows but I will certainly be tuning into driftstream to find out!
Not bad Ryan! The first time Kado's machine made it to competition, our rookie qualifies ahead of more seasoned pros, beat Gushi and moved up to top 16 versus Powers. The runs in the battle between Ryan and Matt were pretty smooth but Kado straightened just before the last clip and Powers moved up into the great 8. I was on the edge of my seat!
Congrats to both drivers on the respectable standings this round!
