  • CHAMP CAR; FD Drifting Demo (SAN JOSE July 29-31)

    Drifting, the wildest new spectacle in motorsport, slides into San Jose this weekend (July 29-31) to help the 750-horsepower turbocharged Champ Cars convert downtown San Jose into a screaming haven of speed and competition during the inaugural Taylor Woodrow Grand Prix of San Jose. As the sixth and final drifting exhibition of the 2005 Champ Car season, Formula D will be closing its first ultra-successful year of partnership with the Champ Car World Series by bringing a dozen of its very best competitors and cars to put on a slide show San Jose and California's Bay Area will not soon forget!

    "San Jose is one of the epicenters of the sport compact and youth automotive culture," said Formula Drift principal Ryan Sage. "We are honored to be a part of the first-ever Taylor Woodrow Grand Prix of San Jose, an event that will assuredly be a huge success, and our drivers and sponsors are thrilled with the opportunity to close this great year we've had with Champ Car in this market and on the streets of California." Formula D's top professional drifters - Ken Gushi, Alex Pfeiffer, Calvin Wan, Dai Yoshihara, Ernie Fixmer, Andy Yen, Tyler McQuarrie, Hubert Young, Casper Canul, Conrad Grunewald, Taka Aono, and Hiro Sumida - will drift the entire 11-turn San Jose street circuit all three days of the event. Also taking to the streets for Champ Car's inaugural Taylor Woodrow Grand Prix of San Jose is the Toyota Atlantic Championship Series, Trans-Am, Historic Stock Car Racing Series, and the United States Touring Car Championship. For tickets visit www.sanjosegrandprix.com or call 408/998-TIXS, 415/421-TIXS, or 510/625-TIXS www.sanjosegrandprix.com www.formulad.com www.champcar.ws

        Yes! There's nothing like attending two drifting events in a month. LOL.

        "Ken Gushi, Alex Pfeiffer, Calvin Wan, Dai Yoshihara, Ernie Fixmer, Andy Yen, Tyler McQuarrie, Hubert Young, Casper Canul, Conrad Grunewald, Taka Aono, and Hiro Sumida - will drift the entire 11-turn San Jose street circuit all three days of the event."

        Wow the whole course!? Wow..I'll be there. Are you J-Rod going to be there?

            San Ho my home town (sort of, after Hong Kong)... used to work downtown at one of the big sponsors at this event, Knight Ridder. It will be funny if my old boss sees me drifting at the GP because we had a talk about drifting affecting my work performance when I was working there...

            Yes, San Ho needs to Send it!!

              That's it. We're all going drinking!

              Grab the rest of the FD guys and lets take over one of the bars downtown. Drunken stupidity and racing. It doesn't get any better

                  we went to pick up our credentials today, and the people in the credential room were like "so, what is this drifting stuff?"

                  we told them about it and they were like "wow, that sounds cool! we'll have to check it out!"

                  I'll be there all 3 days
