The Xtreme Drift Circuit released it’s judging panel today which falls about three weeks before the first round at Irwindale Speedway. Here are the three judges including one who is our resident blogger!

-Chris Forsberg
-Matt Petty
-Michael Schneider

Here is a little PR blast about all three of the judges background in case your unfamiliar:

“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.”
