There was plenty of hot weather, free NOS Energy Drinks, and action on the track but don’t forget about the other happenings at this event. The pits were also a very popular spot especially during the 2 hour intermission of drifting. Spectators were able to see their favorite drift car up close and personal and check out cars who got a little too friendly with the wall. You could also take home as many drifted tires as you could load into your car. The sponsors had plenty to do for fans. Scion Racing had a booth giving away free merchandise for your measly contact information, they were also selling a variety of shirts and hats. The ladies of Falken Tire were autographing posters for a long line of drooling fans with anticipation to hang these in their garages.

NOS Energy Drink had a “Bunker Lounge” and booth with plenty of umbrella girls handing out energy drinks, lanyards, and vuvuzelas, which got extremely annoying into the later hours of the evening. But, this gave fans a place to chill out, get out of the scorching sun and refuel with some free “Human Energy.” And of course you could see some unique whips out at the One of One Hellaflush show, which will be covered in a later post.

Your Formula Drift Throwdown champion for this year is Tanner Foust in the Rockstar Scion TC. Followed by Ryan Tuerck in the Mobil 1 Pontiac Solstice, and Darren McNamara in the Saturn Sky. Here is Tanner going for the win as Ryan Tuerck slams the Pontiac Solstice into the wall.

Once again the Northwest has proven its deep enthusiasm for the sport of drifting with the packed stands and huge attendance numbers. For additional photos from members of the forum check the original Formula Drift event thread. Look for our Hellaflush One of One showcase in the coming days.

It’s that time again when the high performance drifting machines take the track at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, WA. You will find everyone from muscle fanatics to ricer enthusiasts at this event, be forewarned. If the previous Fatlace shows this year are a prediction of what is to come for the Seattle area the One/One show is not to disappoint and looks to be a very promising show. Here are a few videos of the previous One/One shows.

It’s shaping up to be a few hot days at Evergreen Speedway, with winter finally (and hopefully) behind us and forecasted high temperatures, Formula Drift is coming in hot to the Northwest. Be ready for two days of intense drifting action, broken bumpers, zip ties, and duct tape in Monroe, WA. And if that isn’t your thing then come out for the Hellaflush One/One Showcase and view some of the most original rides the Northwest has to offer.

Be sure to have your tickets. We’ll see you there!
