There are noise ordinances during the week that prevent us from being able to put on an event worthwhile during the week.

To add a further clarification to the pit pass thing:

It is $30 for every PERSON that comes through the back pit gate.

That person must be 16+ (minors parents sign the waiver) and must arrive before the cashier closes at noon.

You could bring in 100 trucks, 5 elephants, 2 bulldozers, and 1 Robosaurus but every human that passes the gate has to pay either the drivers fee or the pit pass.

Clear as mud?

We may have to charge extra for the Robosaurus but we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

Yes - but only on the 3/8ths and only if you disable the flamethrower. Laser eyes are OK.

So nobody ever helps anybody?? Sad day


What about the robosaurus' optional tractor beam, for pulling low-power cars around the bank? As long as it has a plasma catch can will it pass tech?

Only if the plasma catch can is safely secured by a US Dept of Energy tie down strap.

If you know someone that owns a business, get the owner involved in these events. I've been encouraging small shops to get involved. Promote and support the event sponsors, the forum sponsors,and any local business in the northwest.

If you can, print a flyers out and pass them onto local shops. The littlest things help.

Formula DRIFT Announces 2009 FD Pro Am Schedule


Long Beach, Calif. – March 24, 2009 – Formula DRIFT has announced the 2009 Pro Am Schedule. Formula DRIFT will partner with the nation's most experienced regional, grassroots, and amateur organizations to take this three year old program to new heights in search of the future stars of drifting.

The Pro Am program is multi-faceted with events taking place directly during Formula DRIFT weekends, events held within Hot Import Nights, and events that are in affiliation with Formula DRIFT such as Drift Mania Canadian Championship East and West and Just Drift. These affiliate events will be awarding their champions and top finishers will be granted automatic Formula DRIFT licenses. Additionally, affiliates also have the right to qualify their drivers for the Pro AM Nationals held later in the year.

Pro Am events held directly in alliance with Formula DRIFT will be qualifying events for the Pro AM nationals. Pro AM events held at Formula DRIFT events also come with a unique experience for amateur drifters as they will be pitted directly with the Formula DRIFT drivers and will experience a professional drifting atmosphere from beginning to end. The events held at Hot Import Nights will also be qualifying events for the Pro Am Nationals.

“Formula DRIFT has had the Pro Am system in place for the last 3 years and it has produced FD Pros like Justin Pawlak, Bill Sherman, John Russakoff, Joon Maeng and others. This new program will only push the search for the next Formula DRIFT stars forward,” said Jim Liaw, co-founder and president of Formula DRIFT. “We are proud to have partnered with the most experienced and respected organizations in the country and are excited to put together the largest Pro Am Nationals event later this year.”
