On December 18, 2011 a few friends and I planned a trip down to Pacific Grand Prix Motorsports Park for the 2011 Snow Drift. Even though there wasn’t any snow, it was still very wet. Despite the weather, the event had a pretty good turnout.
We arrived about 15 minutes late to the sounds of screeching tires and blow off valves. For a small wet track, the show was still pretty impressive. During the first half, most drivers were taking it easy, but by halftime most drivers had gotten at least one good run in.
During halftime, the track opened up the pits for spectators. It was pretty interesting to see just how creative drifters can become with zip ties. Like many drift events around the area, Nissans primarily dominated the event. I would have liked to see more of a variety of cars.
Altogether it was a great show. PGP Motorsports Park helped raise money for Toys for Tots and put on an awesome winter event.
