September 25, 2008 (Orange, Calif.) – As is traditional for the fans of the Formula Drift Pro Championship presented by Circuit City, they will have the opportunity to meet and race with some of the best drivers in the series at Drift @ Dromo on Wednesday, October 8.

The fastest drivers of the night will race head-to-head with the two fastest Formula Drift drivers in the evening’s final event. Racers will be competing for prizes from Formula Drift, Dromo 1, and Sparco USA – including the main event prize, which will be a ride-along during practice at Irwindale Speedway. Fans will also be treated to an R/C Drift display courtesy of HPI Racing and Togue Knights.

At the last Drift @ Dromo event, Tanner Foust and Kyle Mohan advanced to the evening’s main event, with Mohan besting Foust at the end. Foust then returned the favor when he eliminated Mohan in the consolation round at the Streets of Long Beach a few days later.

Scheduled to represent the Formula Drift Pro Championship are:
– Tanner Foust, championship leader and winner of the last round at Sonoma, driver of the Rockstar Energy Drink / AEM Nissan 350z
– Samuel Hubinette, driver of the Mopar Dodge Viper
– Joon Maeng, driver of the Hankook Tires Nissan S14
– Kyle Mohan, driver of the Mazdatrix / Cooper Tires Mazda RX-7
– Patrick “Juicebox” Mordaunt, driver of the Braille Auto / RiceBoyTV.com Nissan 350z

Dromo 1 will offer racing all night for $20, and each race will feature at least one Formula Drift driver. EverythingDrift.com will provide event coverage, including race reports and event galleries.

Went down to our location to day with people from the Port of Long Beach, City of Long Beach, IMG, Red Bull and Public Works to work on some measurement layouts for the Red Bull Drifting World Championship. The space is ridiculous big, drifting area and surface is perfect and the back drop is amazing. All around us were cranes and containers and all kinds of gritty, cool looking stuff. My point and click doesn’t really do it justice, but here is a little sneak peak….
