Formula Drift Video on YouTube

Formula Drift is returning to Evergreen Speedway just outside Seattle on Friday August 7th and Saturday August 8th. The Evergreen Speedway is the oldest track on the Formula Drift circuit and was originally built as a horse-racing track. This track has a reputation of being one of the most challenging courses as the fast entry into the banking and tight transitions have been known to "collect" cars.

As always the pits are open to the public so you can meet the teams and see the drift cars up close. There is also a Vender Village with free give-aways all day long.

DISCOUNT TICKETS - Get 33% off
Buying your tickets online will save $4 off the door ticket price. Use special coupon code - PRPASS and you will get an additional $5 off. That's a total savings of $9 (over 33%) off the door ticket price

NEW RACING FORMAT
The 2009 Top 32 tandem format provides double the amount of tandem competition from previous seasons, which means double the potential for close calls. The larger bracket will also match-up drivers that do not normally run against each other. These new match-ups will produce some interesting battles.

TWO EVENTS IN ONE
This event will also feature a FD Pro-Am competition in association with Evergreen Drift. You will be able to see the best of both Professional and Amateur drivers battle this fast course.
