ProAm Prizes

The Evergreen Drift crew has been working hard and several sponsors have stepped up to offer some great prizes for the proam.

Of course the main objective for the drivers is the four invitations to the ProAm National finals at Firebird Raceway near Phoenix, AZ on December 5th. If a driver that already has an invite finishes in the top four the invite will go to the next highest placed driver.

To sweeten the deal for the drivers Exedy Globalparts USA will award the top placing amateur driver with $1,000! To qualify for the contingency, drivers must run the required Exedy Decal.

For the podium finishers the following prizes will be awarded.

• 1st - 1/2 inch Snap On 18v impact wrench
• 2nd - Longacre Temperature Compensated Digital Tire Pressure Gauge
• 3rd - Special Edition Speedware Motorsports Sparco Tide gloves ($189 MSRP). $25 gift certificate and T-Shirt from Full Throttle Bottles

All drivers that pre-register online will receive a gift certificate to Canyons Restaurant. Canyons is located just down the street from the speedway and is the official afterparty spot of Evergreen Drift.

There is still time for driver to register so if you meet the ProAm rules requirements and want to battle against the best drivers the Northwest has to offer sign up at the registration page ASAP!

If you are a sponsor and would like to partner with Evergreen Drift for the ProAm event please contact us at drift@evergreendrift.com.

All Star Bash 2009 With Larry Chen

Very few people know of the peanut man from California. The individuals that are aware of Mr. Chen know that he’s a single 25 year old that loves long walks on Santa Monica Peer, runs a peanut factory, and is world renown for his BAMF quality photography. Gleb Antonav and I had a chance to visit his dwelling back in 2007. Lets just say this guy is mad decent.

Welcome to Evergreen Drift’s newest sponsor // Northwest Nissans

Evergreen Drift is proud to announce the addition of Northwest Nissans to our growing list of sponsors.

Northwest Nissans (a.k.a NWN) is one of the largest northwest based online communities with many drifting enthusiast members.

NWN’s support to not only Evergreen Drift, but the drift scene in general has been instrumental in the development of the sport. Northwest Nissans and their members have already done much for the program at Evergreen Speedway with their willingness to post our events on the front page of the NWN web site and volunteer as event staff.

“Without a doubt Northwest Nissans has been one of our biggest supporters from the start and the growth of Evergreen Drift can be tied directly to the access they have afforded us on their forums.” stated Kelly Hale, Director of Drifting for Evergreen Speedway.

Be sure to catch the upcoming Evergreen Drift ProAm event at Evergreen Speedway held in conjunction with Formula Drift Round 5 “Breaking Point” on Aug 7th and 8th. There are currently 12 northwest drivers who will be vying for the 4 invites that will take them to the Formula Drift ProAm national finals event in Chandler, Arizona where they can earn a FD pro license.

Joshua Herron does Vegas

Master drift videographer Joshua Herron just released his Vegas Formula Drift video. Big props for giving the ProAm guys some play! There are several shots of Forrest Wang and his dialed entries plus shots of Roland and Andrew at 2:42!

It also has one of the best angles yet seen of the infamous Ueo/Tuerck jump.

Retrospective // ProAm at the Redbull WDC

With ProAm coming up at Evergreen Drift lets look back to our past involvement.

2008 Evergreen Drift season champion Victor Moore earned an invite to the ProAm Nationals held in conjunction with the RedBull World Drifting Championship.

Victor failed to qualify this time but will be back for more at the Evergreen Drift ProAm looking to grab an invite for a chance to redeem himself and earn a FD license at the ‘09 nationals.

Another local boy, Reo Baird from Vancouver Island in British Columbia was also on hand and qualified 6th but broke both axles and was unable to compete in the finals.

The course was epoch and the lucky ProAm guys got a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete at a venue that will likely never happen again.

Will Roegge put out this stellar video of the ProAm. Take a trip down memory lane and savor the ProAm goodness.
