Richmond Drift Contest Nov. 15th

I think Hanzo posted about this awhile back, but anyone in the Richmond area, (unless they are going to Mach V's meet); there is a Drift contest at Short-Pump mall. I'm riding down with a friend, he is going to drift his 98 hyundai accent ; Hanzo knows more, hopefully he can post up a link...

A drift contest at a mall? Umm...this sounds so unlike anything Richmond would allow anyone to do within 100 miles of here...

OK, so you dont believe me?

"Hey guys, USDrift.com is organizing a drift day just for fun on Nov 15th at the Cloverleaf Mall in Richmond. I'm coming up with a buddy of mine, but I doubt I'll break the Scooby out to participate, just gonna watch and film. Anybody want to come out and join in the fun or just hang out afterwards, grab a bite to eat or whatnot?

More info at http://www.usdrift.com

Steven"


PS - It's at Cloverleaf not Short-Pump; $35 admission starts at 8:00 AM

Didn't say you were lying, just very hard to believe, especially at the brand new mall.

Still amazing that they're allowing this to happen in the Richmond area, but I guess anyone coming along that's willing to pay ANYTHING for the Cloverleaf mall property can get what they want

I might drop by to watch, but I doubt I wanna punish the EVO in such a way I gotta make those Advans last as long as I can!

Yeah, I just thought it was funny when I heard it myself, I just wanted to show you all some proof...

BeenWaitin4Evo - What Color Evo you drive?

I'm pretty sure Hanzo is going to be there (White Evo) and 1-2 other Evo's/Sti's;

Yeah, NASA put up the last drift event at the Cloverleaf Mall. Cloverleaf mall has been pretty much abandon and turned into more less a motorsports park. AutoX are held there frequently. I was at the last drift event, pretty cool but mostly novice drifters, which were cool, gotta start somewhere.

I am pretty sure I'll go check out this one as well.

BTW here are pictures from the last drift event:


More pictures here.

It was off the hook!!!! My first Drift Competition ever and I loved it, I got to ride with a Zebra Striped 350Z (Matt) who was a drift maniac (2nd Place in Englishtown), and a supercharged black Stang that tried like hell to drift (Jeff), my girl road with a black S13 240SX, and my friend had hell of fun in the Yellow Treuno, hopefully I can find pics, I'll post em up ASAP, I saw a black Evo with Sunroof and Evom stickers, and a White Evo, but didn't have time to say 'Hi' cuz I was busy getting rides in the drifter's cars!!!! I loved it and I think I caught the Drift Bug...
