FORMULA DRIFT PRACTICE: THURSDAY!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UNIQUE FORMULA DRIFT PRACTICE NIGHTS BACK FOR 2017 SEASON AT IRWINDALE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Irwindale, Calif. (Feb. 21, 2017) - - One of the most exciting new forms of motorsport ... and one that has its West Coast roots deep in the pavement Irwindale Event Center, will once again stage a series of special test and tune Thursday nights for Formula Drift teams, drivers, crews, sponsors, suppliers, and fans. With eight events spread across six US cities and one in Canada (Montreal July 14-15) these Thursday practice sessions at Irwindale will be about the only chance for many of the pro teams to check their gear between races. There'll be nine of these practice events at Irwindale beginning this Thursday night, February 23 that will provide a great way to tune up, test new machines, try out new gear, and new driving techniques for the very competitive 2017 season which, in turn, provides a unique opportunity for West Coast Formula Drift fans to see the preps up close and personal at the place that's known across the Universe as: "The House of Drift"... Starting this Thursday, the special sessions will run all the way to Thursday October 12, 2017 the day before the final race of the 2017 Formula Drift season at Irwindale. This year's Thursday night dates are: February 23, March 16 (that's just two weeks before the Formula D event at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach and should be an "all hands on deck" night for competitors and fans alike at Irwindale) followed by events on April 20, May 25, June 22, July 27, August 24, and October 5 (OK ... check this: THAT's only two weeks in front of the final 2017 "Title Fight" FD show right back at Irwindale on October 13-14 ... that's "must see sideways" for sure!). As mentioned above, the Thursday night practices will conclude on Thursday, October 12the night before Irwindale becomes the world focal point of Drifting for the weekend. All of the track's trick Thursday night events feature open pits and a great opportunity for fans to meet the drivers, crews, suppliers, journalists and FD officials up close and personal and under (only slightly) more "relaxed" conditions than at the racing events themselves. Fans new and old really enjoy the true "insider" aspect of these nights when the top pro teams attack Irwindale's legendary high banks and tricky inner circuit with motors screaming and tires smoking. Seating in the grandstand is open, vantage points are plentiful, and surprises are always the name of the game. Gates for all of the above Thursday Night Formula Drift test and tune sessions at Irwindale Event Center will open at 4PM with tech inspection running from 4 to 8PM and drift practice on the track and sliding sideways from 5PM to 9PM. Spectator admission: $10 - Parking: FREE Drift practice: $75 per car INFO HERE [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001mOJWCAY7baPVePBIktwnOZhttbU-00PnRZTcBUtDIMUR0R7UPu238obYa7NaMSmFVcYZiP8qXVYmgDjnAJealUImxrBSzCoYVkpxQ2wIR3DmL-txv_2KfRwhcwiBuDf-FPvL_0Y_Z1hzHsXqJSauk-vIAbKtztccM5uH_S-qEvE=&c=UABb2uqftSTZTgyDdCs6E1et2kOwTrHiNaUz0Fd5zyrhP5fVo0fYxw==&ch=1IaL0EsvRqjNgwANBBWphNNcHXvou1h6_-TTOG7ii7X0Axlu6nie6g==] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright © 2017 All Rights Reserved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ doug@irwindaleeventcenter.com http://ui.constantcontact.com/sa/fwtf.jsp?llr=ubv4kndab&m=1103180583988&ea=$submit@theautochannel.com$&a=1127254743907 This email was sent to submit@theautochannel.com by noreply@irwindaleeventcenter.com.
