Although Pat Mordaunt did not get the result everyone was hoping for, he did get some notice for a “chase run for the ages”, as noted by Wrecked magazine ( you can check that out here in the article “10 Things I learned from Formula Drift New Jersey Round 4” by Joey Redmond of Wrecked Magazine.

Formula Drift – Wall Speedway, N.J. Recap:
Mordaunt came into Round 4 of Formula Drift at Wall Speedway with high hopes for the weekend. The steep bank and challenging layout at Wall has been know to wreak havoc on even the best drivers. During Friday qualifying, Patrick and the team were struggling to find the right setup for the big bank and challenging infield course at Wall. Patrick did get down two solid runs and qualified 28th, with a first round match against reigning champion and points leader Fredrik Aasbo. On his chase run, Patrick put down an amazing run, staying right on Aasbo’s door from the initiation on the bank all the way through the infield to the final clip and finish line. This run was called “one for the ages” by Wrecked magazine (details above ^). On his lead run, Mordaunt came off the line and into the initiation aggressively with the goal to knock off the top driver in the series. Unfortunately, he came in too strong and scraped the wall on initiation, ending his competition for the weekend.
It’s a tough break but sometimes you have to go big or go home. Still a great job by Mordaunt and his team. Man, when everything clicks you’re going to see some serious results from Pat. Keep an eye for him!
