    D1 Grand Prix USA Drivers Search Points Series Round 3



    D1 Driver Search Press Release
    August 14th 2004 Fontana California, California Speedway
    $10.00 presale at d1gp.com $15.00 at the gate

    August 14th D1 driver search event is a pre qualifying round for all hopeful D1 drivers. Qualified drivers will be picked to compete in the December 11th USA Championship for a chance to battle against the Japanese drivers in the first ever December 19th USA vs. JPN Event.

    The event will be a good chance to see what drifting is about and what kind of talent we have here in the USA. Eighty drivers have registered and are coming from all over, from Florida to Canada! Competition will be tough. Sponsors and booths will be set up for racers and spectators to check out. Also there will be pit areas for each of the teams.

    Special guests from Japan will be holding a drifting pro demo run and the top USA experienced drivers will be taught by Japanese pro drivers in a first ever Driver Clinic to learn the art of tandem drifting. A comical dunk tank were the Official D1 Judges, drivers and models will be subjected to a dunking.
    Spectators will be able to roam the spectator and booth area. Media in addition will have access to enter the pit areas and the paddock area. We expect this to be a good event to see what drifting is about at a grassroots level and to get good coverage on the future stars of D1! This event will be filmed by world renowned JDM Option for a future volume of the English Version of the JDM Option series.

    We hope to see you there “One More Time!”

                  wait, only the media gets to go to the pit area?

                  that sucks majorly if we can't meet the drifters

                      looks like the info is for...

                      kewl..but the info looks like for drivers only, but should i safely assume i should be there around 6AM or is that way to early, i'm coming from San Diego, so it would take me about a little over an hour to make a run up here. but thanks anyways.

                          i doubt there will be head to head gushi battles in this event... its a driver search. not a competition, the entrants aren't going to do tandem. The already qualified guys, the pros will probably do demos but thats probably it.
