I will be there, NO DOUBT.
:D

I keep hearing all of these FD qualifiers, like Chicago and Jersey... but FD hasn't announced anything official regarding them.

The official qualifiers are:
1. Irwindale, CA Irwindale Speedway January 14th (Already passed)
2. Houston, TX Greyhound Park February 18th
3. San Diego, CA [tentative] Qualcomm Stadium March 18th

Last I heard they were working on an east coast qualifier... but haven't come up with one yet.

Yeah its only makes sense for east coast guys to jump on this one. Andy you going to be able to snag a spot or is that an issue?

Yea Andy, I"m working on this and there was a lapse in schedules with one of the drift companies scheduling.. We are trying to get it fixed now. But there will be a East Coast Qualifier.And it will most likely be here in ATL. I'm working with Drift Association on this as we speak and it will be announeced in a week or two. Chicago is April 15th.
East Coast to be announced.

Chicago being April 15th makes no sense. That is after the season starts. :?:

hmmm, that is odd...i hope they get an east coast one though, i might do it just for the hell of it if it's local.

gotta miss the houston one though, i'm gonna try to do the VIR event which is the same weekend.

SEDA/Drift Association are hosting the East Coast Qualifier on May 6th at AMS. We'll make the official announcement soon.

Damn... isn't DG doing an event there that same day?

That's GREAT news... but also a little dissapointing that it's not before round 1. I am going to Texas regardless... I guess I'm a little surprised that the qualifier is after the season begins.

umm...well not anymore, unfortunetly. We had no intentions of stepping on DGs toes, but we didn't make the call....AMS did.

I find it a little wierd that its after the season starts as well. From my understanding Naoki told Chad and I that he was worried about the logistics of having the qualifiers too close together.

Good news.......DG gets to keep their AMS event on the 6th, and SEDA will be hosting the East Qualifier the very next day at AMS. A full weekend of insane slide madness....I can't wait!
me and Chad are going to get ahold of the DG guys and see what we can do about working together on the marketing.

It's going to be a fight.
