UPDATE
Xtreme Drift Circuit opens registration and adds Car Show Competition
February 8, 2010 (Tustin, Calif.) – The countdown to the first event of the inaugural Xtreme Drift Circuit championship has officially begun as registration has opened for round one at Irwindale. This will be the first chance for competitors to make their mark in the country’s only nationwide Pro-Am championship.
Several drivers with Formula Drift and D1GP competition experience have already committed to the 2010 series, ensuring a high level of competition and plenty of talent to ensure crowd-pleasing drifting at the House of Drift. Notable names that have committed to the XDC season – and will be at Irwindale – include Forrest Wang, Quoc Ly, Chelsea Denofa, Mark Manansala, Lance Feliciano, Aaron Losey, Gary Lang, and Will Parsons.
And while there will be several drivers that fans of drifting are already familiar with, there will also be lots that no one has heard of. There will be several new names from Southern California – wildcards, no doubt – looking to see how they measure up against a higher level of competition and make a name for themselves in the hopes of grabbing the prize money on offer. The winner of the event will take home a $3000 cash prize, the runner-up will take home $2000, third place will receive $1000, and fourth will take $500. In addition, all drivers will be eligible for contingency prizes from ACT Clutch and Genius Tools, with more contingency prizes to be announced later.
With the on-track product ready to deliver, the series has added to the experience off the track by introducing the REMIX Car Show Competition. Remix will feature a wide range of cars, including exotics, modern muscle cars, and naturally, high-performance modified vehicles similar to the cars competing in the Xtreme Drift Circuit. Car corrals for clubs for Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Scion, Infiniti, BMW, Mustangs, Genesis, K-Cars and Muscle cars will be featured at each REMIX event. The REMIX Car Show Competition will be at each stop on the Xtreme Drift Circuit, in addition to other standalone events across the country. More information about the REMIX Car Show Competition will be available soon at www.remixevents.com.
“The excitement for our inaugural event at Irwindale Speedway is building each day,” said Brian Eggert, XDC Competition Director. “We have gotten a great response from Pro-Am drivers around the country, and naturally, from tons of drivers around Southern California. There will be a large field of drivers lining up on March 20 and we can hardly wait.”
The XDC will continue to make further announcements about the event in the weeks leading up to the March 20 opener at Irwindale.
