Daijiro Inada - Founder of D1GP, OPTION Magazines as well as Tokyo Auto Salon - is going to hold a drift lesson event at El Toro Field in Irvine, CA, on Dec.2 with his friends, Japanese D1GP drivers, as instructors in order to expand the ground of drift participants in the USA.
This is an event mainly targeted at drift beginners, giving basic theories and knowledge on drifting, but intermediate level drifters can also participate in the drift practice session, and still receive ride-along lessons from the instructors.
D1GP driver is Kazuyoshi Okamura - Okachan - who is the owner of Silvia (240SX) tuning shop, YASHIO FACTORY, and the drift school, OKA-JUKU (held more than 40 times in various cities in Japan) will be on hand to provide his expertise. Another D1GP Driver is Toshiki Yoshioka - Toshi King - who drives an AE86 with 300 hp and gives drift lessons from time to time, will also provide instruction.
Federal Corporation will present this event on a quarterly basis in 2008, and offers free entry for the participants with Federal tires on their cars. For non Federal users, entry fees are $125(beginner) and $100(intermediate), with their own cars as well.
