THE ENERGY OF FORMULA DRIFT SEATTLE

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

This weekends Formula Drift event in Evergreen Washington was something that I have never seen before. The noise, the excitement, the electricity in the air was just something similar to a college football game. The driving was by far the best I have seen all year from every driver. I think almost every car went home with at least a scratch and if not a scratch it had body panels hanging off it. This was by far my favorite FD event I have ever attended and if every event is like this the series will be one of the biggest motor sports in the world.

Look what J Rod had to say about the event on Drifting.com:

THANK YOU TO ALL & TO ALL A GREAT DRIFT EVENT!!!!!

Every time a tire screeches a fan gets excited… A miracle on Evergreen Speedway!

The Washington event NEVER under impress’ us the Formula Drift Staff, Drivers, sponsors, etc.

This was THE BEST TOP 16 Driver introduction EVER, just loud, proud and everybody was on their feet!
It was awesome, the driving was second to none!!!!!
I mean seriously Formula Drift drivers are some of the best in the world if anybody says that the top Formula Drift drivers can be taken out no problem by other worldwide drivers you’re CRAZY!
I’m not saying they can BEAT them no problem, but it’s a run for the money worldwide now!

Formula Drift round 4 was one for the books, thank you again to all the screaming, cheering, yelling fans and we’ll be SENDING IT in Vegas in no time!!!!
See ya there!!!!

Find me and say “Send It” to receive limited edition NOS Energy Drink & Keep Drifting Fun collab sticker, only 450 made per round!!!!!!

MOBIL 1 GRID TV

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Grid TV made the journey from the UK to cover the Formula D Long Beach event. I am sure they had other business in the US besides that, but they did a phenomenal job covering Round 1. Not only did they show Vaughn Gitten take the win, but we give him the award for really stepping up his interviewing skills! Really nice job Vaughn with the interviews. We all at DM hope you Grass Roots drivers start taking some notes.

ONEofONExFD VIDEO COVERAGE

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Here’s a video recap produced by Yogi of this weekends One/One Showcase. I must admit, I really enjoyed this video. Not just because it was a Formula Drift event, but because there seems to be a revitalization of the car show scene thanks to Fatlace and their ONE/ONE Showcase. The drifting was incredible, but its always nice to have a good car show to break up the time in between sessions, these guys brought it to us “PROPERLY”! Looks like Lexus & Scion really had an impact at this show, and the fitments on most of the cars look amazing to say the least. Hellaflush / Fatlace & ONE/ONE Showcase, our hats are off to you, can’t wait to see how what you have up your sleeve for the rest of the season! “GREAT JOB”

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Here is an edit on the Formula Drift Pro AM Final at Irwindale. YouDrift hooks it up; this is the first edit I have seen from this crew and I like it. The song that they play is by the Colour, it kind of sounds like the Cure, I like it. I will have to check them out. I spent some time on YouDrift.net’s site and I don’t like that you have to sign up to become a member, but for the most part the site has a lot of content.
