Do more with less
2009 Info Package online: http://driftmania.ca/documents/2009%20DMCC%20PREVIEW%20LIGHT.pdf
For all of us, 2009 will represent an undeniable challenge. But these harder times are also a great way to remind us how together, with hard work and “lots of support from each other”, we can make great success and more importantly, insure a prosper future.
Drift Mania will hold two separate Canadian professional drifting championships. DMCC East and DMCC West. Points will remain independent to each divisions, in order to keep traveling and ultimately the costs as low as possible.
On the West Coast, 4 events are set in stone. The first and last of the season will be held at Castrol Raceway in Edmonton (Alberta). In between those rounds, two more races will take place, one in Calgary and one on Victoria Island. The DMCC West Coast team will be led by Colin Reeves and backed by the DMCC East Coast crew, namely DMCC’s operation director, Kendrick Fong and Chief Steward, Seth Patterson. The main objective is to bring the West coast organizers, sponsors, drivers and fans up to speed with the East Coast. A two year time frame is planned to accomplish this goal.
On the East Coast, things are about to heat up like never before. Even though the word in order for 2009 is to do more with less, East Coast drivers and fans have shown incredible energy and devotion to the sports and despite the economy, DMCC wants to give more.
For starters, DMCC went out of their way to find new tracks, offering a new and larger public then ever, a different driving environment and overall feel. DMCC East will now visit two different tracks in the Québec City region. Montmagny Raceway will host round 1, while Riverside Speeday (namely St-Croix Autodrome), who under it’s new management has committed in redesigning a part of the track to make it a hi-speed drift friendly track, will host a later round. Two visits are also schedule at DMCC’s home track, St-Eustache Autodrome.
