where are the official results for all the drivers? Thanks!
Congrats to JTP!
Also great driving from MTP and Aasbo.
Matt Powers and JTP....in the finals.....So good!
YEAH JTP!!!!!!
Big ups to Matt Powers, he deserves it this year!
Mad props to MP.... hang loose kid
great job buddy!
it was rigged, imo matt should have taken first.
powers you are the man!!!!. SILENCING HATERS!!!!!!! in the words of matt powers, "SUCK IT"
WE LOVE HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The run between Chris Foresberg and Matt Powers was intense. Matt's car died for about 5 minutes before it came back to life for a "One More Time" with Chris. Intense!!!
The run between Dai and JTP was also intense. JTP straightened out on the first run then Dai straightened out on the second run, both on the last corners. That was crazy.
Fast results from powers' new setup. Love the lsx
... going to the final 4 was Kyle Mohan and JTP. it should have been Kyle Mohan, then you had JTP and Dai... it should have been Dai. the OMT was not needed, JTP spun out on the last corner on the first run Dai might have drove shallow on the 2nd run however he didnot spun out, well im not a judge on FD. then you had Matt P and JTP close fight OMT was needed ... Giveaway to Falken Tires not to JTP. KUDO'S to SPD and Mike Kojima and Costa for making Matt Powers car work like magic, Matt Powers and Dai are teammates if you must say... they have the same crew.
definitely backing matt's new engine now! congrats matt!
Congrats. Well deserved, Aasbo was also amazing I feel they should have done another OMT, But GOD the anouncer is so annoying, they need to replace him.
matt powers ftw!! glad to see hime doing good. looks like the bump in power is just what he needed
POWERS COMMING UP ! ! ! !
I dont even know how JTP won, shouldve been at least OMT. JTP crashed at least once while MTP had sick angle at almost every run (except JTP chase run). So yea, MTP shoulda won
GREETINGS FROM RUSSIA BOIS! I'M MATT'S FAN.
congrats to Dai and Matt!!!!
congrats all round!
Good to see JTP get the win after losing his FC. MP coming up for sure with the new motor setup.
Congrats Matt!! Glad to see him making podium

big ups to MATT POWERS for owning! homie is set to pop this season! yewwwwwww
Matt Powers driving thunder! Watch out 2011!
Me and my friends that went were very very very very dissapointed in the judges they chose for this year, they made atleast 3 messed up calls.
The battle with MP and JTP should atleast of gone one more time if not just gone straight to MP. MP hit that sweeper soooooooooooooo good he was on fire!
Then kyle Mohan vs JTP was BS, Mohan was doing great too on the clipping points.
NFS really have some serious influence on the judges ahh!.
Big congrats JTP, HUGE congrats POWERS! This year has to be yours! Rock it!!!
GOOD JOB JTP!
NOW THE I HAVE TO SAY THAT MATT POWERS!!!! DEFINITELY WON THAT ROUND GO BACK AND WATCH IT. ALSO SOME OF THE JUDGING WAS DODGY BUT FOR THE MOST PART EVERYTHING WAS ON PAR. BUT THE WINNER OF OF LONG BEACH WAS MATT POWERS HANDS DOWN!!!!!! I JUST HOPE THAT THE JUDGING STEPS UP THERE GAME A LITTLE BIT FOR NEXT ROUND.
