XDC Judges, CHRIS FORSBERG, MATT PETTY, & MICHAEL SCHNEIDER
by XDC
With three weeks to go before the first XDC event on March 20 in Irwindale, the series is happy to formally announce its 2010 list of judges. Raising the bar of Pro-Am judging, XDC is pleased to announce the judging trio of Chris Forsberg, Matt Petty, and Michael Schneider for the 2010 season.
Forsberg is no stranger to any fan of drifting. The 2009 Formula Drift champion became the first series champion whose driving career originated from grassroots drifting, and is uniquely placed to advise and guide the next wave of professional drifters coming up through the XDC. Petty, organizer of the grassroots drifting organization Club Loose, organized the first drifting event at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ in 2003 which he runs to this day. Under his guidance, more Club Loose competition drivers have reached podium status than any other organization’s drivers in the United States. Schneider has served as the head judge of USDrift for the past seven years, and has also judged several PRO/AM regional and national events alongside Formula Drift’s judges in addition to assisting other regional organizations as a guest judge.
“The XDC series is a great opportunity for up-and-coming drivers to compete on a national level, building the bridge between PRO/AM and the Formula Drift Pro Championship Series,” said Forsberg. “I am very excited to have been chosen as a judge for their inaugural year, and look forward to seeing the best grassroots talent America has to offer.”
