One of the original founders of the Pro Am series with Drift Association back in 2005 are returning to hold an Am series in the north east. The 2013 schedule is four events and kicks off this month at Englishtown with the guys over at Clubloose. The USDrift crew helped run XDC for a while but officially split ways with the sanctioning body at the beginning of 2013.

The USDrift Pro Am series will feature five judges who include Formula Drift champion Chris Forsberg, Matt Petty, Mike Schneider, Dan Summers, and Formula Drift judge Brian Eggert. Two sets of judges will watch the same criteria during qualifying and their scores will be averaged. For example, Judge 1 and 2 are line, Judge 3 and 4 are angle, and Judge 5 is style.  The idea is to eventually have 9 judges, with 3 judges for each criteria and then dropping the outlier scores (highest and lowest).  Tandem format will remain the same and still be majority rules. What do drivers think of this new judging format USDrift is bringing to the table? Below is the schedule for the 2013 season:

May 18th Round 1- Englishtown, New Jersey (Clubloose)
June 14/15th Round 2- Summit Point, West Virginia (Hyperfest)
July 26/27th Round 3- New Jersey Motorsports Park (ARCA)
August 18th Round 4- Summit Point, West Virginia (Drift Nirvana)

Xtreme Drift Circuit canceled the March 3rd round at Irwindale Speedway which was just a few weeks around the corner. According to Facebook (no PR was actually sent) they are combining Round 1 with Round 2 at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix, Arizona. On top of canceling Round 1 they announced they might be adding mid-season events in what sounds like to be a headache and a half for young drivers looking to attend the series and raise funding. Regardless what you really need to know is that XDC will be kicking off in Phoenix after Formula Drift starts this season.
