Ryan Kado

Ryan discovered drifting at 13 years old and instantly was hooked on the intensity of the sport. He nurtured his competitive spirit racing motocross until he was 16 and old enough to drive. The same week that Ryan got his drivers license, he took his Nissan S14 to a practice drift event at Thunder Hill Raceway where he fell in love with the pure feeling of sliding a car. Since then, he has been mastering his craft, always striving to push his limits behind the wheel. Ryan's hyper-competitive spirit and intense passion for drifting fuel his drive to fight for the championship and make him a fierce competitor amongst a field of the world's most elite drivers.
