Drift Showoff, Vancouver BC

How many of you guys Drift and how many would make the drive out to Vancouver (Abbotsford, BC actually - TradEX Convention Center) for the First EVER Commercial West Coast Canada Drift Event.

Hosted by the same promoters from Driven to Perform. =)

August 20th

i’ll be down for sure

I may be making the trip out.

i believe me and quite a few friends that are planning to trip up there around that time anyway… it’d be perfect

Since I can’t make the Seattle trip, I think I may be able to make this trip!! I dunno bout drifting tho, not enough power in my KA to do that!! But would be awesome to go and watch!!

Hmmmm…Is it an open event? Like practice or is it more of a competition?
