This is it guys. The title fight for the 2012 Lateral Drift Championship will go down to the wire at Round 6 this December 8 at the Clark Expo Grounds in Pampanga.
After the melee at Round 5's night drift, Alex Perez of Team Yellowcab bumps up to the championship ladder and now leads 17 points ahead of closest rival and 2011 Champion, Audel Sison from Autocraft Drift. Meanwhile, Boodie Dabasol from Team Turbo Cafe still has a shot in third place, but a 51 point deficit from Perez would be hard to claw up.
Last time the series visited Clark Expo was back in September for Round 2 in this year's championship. It was Dabasol who took the win then with Sison coming in a close second, while Perez's car problems pushed him out of the Top 4. So who will in the championship in 2012? Will it be a 6th title for Perez, a 2nd title for Sison, or a 1st time for Boodie.
