Top Drift Round 4, August 22-23, 2014

We’ve gotta admit, packing our gear to cover Top Drift round 4 was depressing, knowing it would be the last time we shot competition at Willow Springs until 2015. That being said, we were also super excited to cover some drifting on a track that’s been known to have some epic drift battles in the previous years. We were also eager to see who would kick everyone’s butt and podium, and also witness who would be moving on to Formula Drift by earning an FD license.

Top Drift Round 3 – June 29, 2014

Top Drift Round 3 was a very difficult round to cope with, for drivers, staff, and media alike. It was extremely hot, breezy, and the sun pounded spirits to a pulp all day long. The main focus seemed to be staying cool and hydrated, while driving and winning came second. The combination of heat and broken spirits had drivers jumping in their tow rigs and heading home the moment they were knocked out of competition.

With all the crazy running around with Formula Drift and hitting Vegas ProAm every round, we were excited and felt a little refreshment when we kept it at home this past weekend with our home series, Top Drift at Willow Springs Raceway. Top Drift Round 2 on Horsethief Mile is likely the favorite round for regulars to drive, due to the track choice being extremely popular because of its fun and technical nature. It is however, not a beginner friendly track, so we knew drivers would have to drive hard and smart to advance into a winning position at this round.

As a precurser to Formula Drift Round 1, Just Drift held its own first competition of the year this past weekend at Willow Springs Raceway in Rosamond, CA. Top Drift Round 1 brought out nearly 60 drivers and cars to compete in the popular Top Drift, which is an official Formula Drift licensing series. From what we saw at Round 1, we are excited to see what the rest of the year brings, because drivers are really stepping it up and the competition is getting crazier and crazier every year.
