Evergreen Drift 2010 Schedule

Finish your cars, mark your calendars, and beg the boss for time off.

The 2010 Evergreen Drift schedule is HERE!

The cliff’s notes for the season include:

• Evergreen Drift Northwest ProAm Championship - Watch the Northwest’s top drifters battle it out on the full 5/8ths Formula Drift spec course in a five round series under the Friday night lights. Both licensed professional drifters and amateur drivers will vie for the the title of Evergreen Drift Northwest ProAm Champion. With a round held in conjunction with the Formula Drift Pro Championship event in July and the finale at the Evergreen State Fair this will be the hottest series in the Northwest. This is a Formula Drift ProAm sanctioned series and the season’s top finishing amateur driver will receive a Formula Drift Professional license! Additionally, the amateur drivers that finish the season ranked second through fifth will receive invites to the Formula Drift ProAm nationals for a chance to earn their FD Pro license. There is one more wildcard ProAm Nationals invitation that will be given out at the discretion of Evergreen Drift officials for a total of 5 invites for the season. We’re adding a car show hosted by Northwest Nissans and have other plans in the works to make this the place to be on a Friday night.

• 3/8ths Grassroots Championship - Are you new to drift competitions? Maybe you don’t have the budget to build a 400hp ProAm monster car for the 5/8ths. The 3/8ths Grassroots Championship was designed for you. This is a unique three round series allows drivers of all skill levels and car preparation levels to compete inexpensively with an equal shot at the podium. The proven competition rules allow for caged and non caged cars to safely compete head to head by using “Pseudo Tandem” bracket eliminations. Judging is based on how well the driver pushes his car to the limits allowing a beginner in a mildly modified car an equal playing filed against a competitor with a highly modified car. This is a true grassroots series allowing drivers of all experience and modification levels to ‘run what you brung’ and compete without breaking the bank.

• Drift School presented by KP Race Engineering - It’s been a long time since we’ve had a drift school but this year we have one on the schedule thanks to support from the guys at KP Race. Stay tuned for more details.

• Open Drift - Of course we have plenty of Open Drift dates where you can come out enjoy a full day of drifting just for the fun of it or even use it as a test and tune practice session for the comps. Don’t miss the crazy multi car tandem mayhem and the 5/8ths bank action.
