Anyone else hear about this? Both CFRN and 630 Ched have reported that the organizers of the Champ Car events at the city centre airports are offering a drifting demo on one of the days. Pretty cool! šŸ™‚ ---

If you mean the Edmonton Grand Prix, then yes, I heard about it tonight. They seem to even have an official 180SX drift car. Iā€™d look forward to it, but chances are I wonā€™t be in Canada when it happens. ---

Last year Verena Mei the drft hottie from LA [\](http://www.stargirlracing.com/) was supposed to put on a show at the Grand Prix, but I guess she didnā€™t get to drift on the track. She was only able to show off her car at Invision Autoā€™s booth. ---

She was only able to show off her car at Invision Autoā€™s booth. A good thing too, she wasnā€™t very impressive down at the D1GP in LA last month. There were quite a few beginner drivers that beat her during the tryouts for one of the US spots, she didnā€™t even come close to being in the top 6 out of 30. ---

I donā€™t know if you guys know who Andrew is, he usually is the one who runs the Drifting at Budpark in the Summer and has the Wine Red(soon to be flat black) 180. Anyhow him and a few other guys are the ones responsible for getting the drift session into the Grand Prix, they are also trying to (probably not this year) get a champ car parade through Edmonton but have the nicest street cars in the City be the Champ Car Escorts. Anyhow just a tid bit of information for all yā€™all (Too bad more of you guys werenā€™t at the X-mas party, then you could have got more info on all of this). ---
