EVD 93 Pro-Am & Grassroots Round 1

Round 1 of Evergreen Drift’s series was held on April 20, 2013 at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington. For those new to the drifting scene this year, Evergreen Drift is host to the local Formula Drift Pro-Am competition as well as the local Grassroots competition.

Thanks to efforts of the track staff, Evergreen Drift has been able to host more open drift events during the offseason than normal. With this extra seat time, drivers have been able to obtain the practice needed to do well in their respective competitions.

This was the first actual competition of the year and many veteran drivers spent much of the winter rebuilding and tweaking their cars. The only seat time that some had was on the wet open drift days leading up to the event. This meant that once the track dried up, it was significantly different experience.

Competitors in both the Grassroots and Pro-Am showed just how committed they were to the local drift scene by sticking it out throughout the changes in weather and delays. Although it was a long day, it was a great way to kick off drifting in the NW.
