RECENT POSTS & EVENT COVERAGE
ImportMeet.com officially launched on April 16, 2011. At the time, the site had approximately 5 members (a few real life friends) and I had made about 5 posts on the blog. April 16th was an important day because it was the day that I started to actually market the site.…
Out of all of the current Formula Drift Long Beach coverage, this video stood out and caught my attention. It was produced by ONEK1ND Studios out of Los Angeles, California. The shots of the crowd and track workers matched the music incredibly well. Bookmark their Vimeo page as I’m sure…

V8rx7guy’s obsession with V8 engines started about 10 years ago while he was still in high school. At the time, Matt K. was driving a V6 Mazda MX-3 which he thought was one of the faster cars in his school. It wasn’t until the day he tested its acceleration against…

Big thank you to everyone who supported our new event, @supersummermeet on Saturday. This was an experiment with how we could throw an evening event and the unpredictable weather made it super difficult to organize and more importantly promote. We appreciate those who still came out and participated despite wet conditions all over the NW.
We’ve already started thinking of how to improve things and know that with a better weather forecast the turnout would have been higher. We also need to seriously consider whether renting such a big facility with so many competing events in the early summer is feasible. The number of smaller meets, shows, and other events in general has quadrupled in the last couple of years.
Thank you to the @theplacetorace staff, @proformanceracingschool staff, and our volunteers for helping run such a challenging day with random weather. Special thank you to our sponsors and vendors for helping make the event possible.

We are so excited to announce that @sportdrivingmotors will be providing ride-alongs starting at 4pm and running until we shut down the track around 10pm at @theplacetorace.

This includes the payment to @proformanceracingschool for the Lead/Follow laps on track and the time for the driver. We want to continue to develop this part of the event in future years so we can`t wait to see how it goes.

@supersummermeet is this Saturday! Since everyone seems concerned about the weather let us remind you that it SNOWED in the days leading up to SpringFest this year. 😀
Our event with StanceWars at @theplacetorace will be held from 4-10pm which we hope is late enough in the day that whatever the weather is going to do is done by then. This is a brand new event and an experiment for what we can do in the evening format. Lead / Follow will still be happening on track all evening. Get your tickets and support what we are doing: thefoat.com/46526
We`re looking forward to roll-in this Saturday at @theplacetorace for @supersummermeet. It will be a bit later in the day than most of us are used to being an evening event. Roll-in info will be sent soon for all of the registered cars. Get signed up using the link in our bio.
