A local driver over here that I know, his name is chase, drives a purple s13 coupe smacked the bank wall and from what I understand the car is done for the weekend.. George did the same thing but his car was obviously still good to go.

Green paint looks good. Nice photos too, and Doug swallows which just makes it all better.

You have to be out of the top 16 in FD points or something from the previous year to run in XDC.
 
I guess the points thing makes sense but really... I guess its just good practice for them. I really just am not sure I agree with how the series promotes its self as the chance to get recognized/moved into the pro ranks.... when your already driving against those with recognized pro talent/cars.

these 'recognized' drivers help the image of XDC, but skews the purpose. IMO. I still support it, and hoping it succeeds as a series, we need another nopi-ish series.

"Recognized" as being bottom of the barrel FD drivers aka XDC level drivers, aka Nopi level drivers. Seems pretty fair to me.

If you can't beat them in XDC, what're you gonna do in FD? Finish below the bottom of the barrel FD drivers?
 
id hardly call Alex Pfeiffer, Forrest Wang bottom of the barrel, they just didnt attend many events. losey, ly, jones, sammy, lance.... all have had a FD license previous to this year, some just haven't kept up. denofa has one now, but he is at least a rookie status FD license holder.

either way, it just seems unfair to compete for a license for FD against FD drivers to me. ProAm has always been non-licensed drivers competing to step up, (and then they had an extra day for those in FD who scored less than X amount of points in the season, to re-earn it).

Nopi wasnt a feeder series, it wanted to be FD but couldnt get it done for more than one reason.
