Xtreme Drift Circuit Adds More Events to the Pro Am

I just got a PR from the Xtreme Drift Circuit who’s goal is to throw grassroots events in A Pro Am type fashion. The series will announce a schedule very soon and the events are affiliated with the Formula D Pro Am. Since the XDC will be an affiliate series of the Formula Drift Pro Championship, placing the winner of each event into the Pro-Am Nationals at the end of the season. The top three drivers in the season championship will also have a spot in the Pro-Am Nationals, providing an elevated avenue of competition for drivers who cannot yet make the jump from regional competition into a professional national series.
The series although without a set schedule states to be a national endeavor with six rounds of regional Pro Am drifting. We will keep you posted when more news like a schedule is released to the public.
So if we go to one of these events and qualify, we still have to wait for nationals at the end of the year? Still have to drive to Irwindale or where ever for a pro-am event? Are there still gonna be pro-am events at the FD rounds like last year? That was the best idea yet.
Either way we on the east coast are still shit out of luck.
This is laaaaame.
I think FD should totaly kill their pro am program. And have series like this just give their top 4 a full licence for the following year. And just give the top 3 from series like Just Drift licences. The rest should just be picked and chosen from resumes.
Wooohoo more west coast drifting whens someone going to come though and give the east coast guys with talent a shot
The name for this is as good at Bobaflex
Give it a chance.
and from what i hear. there will be plenty of east coast events. the series is being organized by USDrift, which i believe is an east coast organization
^ that makes it seem more appealing
I’m in if Goldberg or someone equally qualified judges.
Im guessing this replaced the d1gp USA series since they took over the twitter stream.
