Kyle Mohan
Spinnin rotors right out of the LBC
Kyle Mohan has been at ground zero of America’s discovery of drifting since it first landed on these shores. In the first few seconds that he observed a car being danced sideways, tires smoking and engine screaming, Kyle decided to combine his love of rotary-powered Mazdas with this new phenomenon. While most drivers showed up at amateur drift competitions and track days in Nissan Silvias, Mohan was often the only one in a FB Mazda RX-7.
It was the path less traveled, but that car – built and maintained by Kyle – served Mohan well as he learned his craft behind the wheel. Ironically enough, he would make his professional drifting debut in a Nissan! Kyle initially competed for JIC during the 2005 season, then Grenade during 2006, but when Grenade called it quits midway through the year, he was left without a ride.
So he built his own – an FC Mazda RX-7, which was his ride throughout the 2007 and 2008 season in both the Pro Championship and Team Drift competitions. Kyle is back this year in an all new 2009 mazda RX-8.
