Formula Drift is coming to Seattle August 7th and 8th

Formula Drift - Monroe, WA
Formula Drift is coming to Seattle August 7th and 8th (technically it's in Monroe).

Here's the info from Formulad.com:
"Formula DRIFT continues for Round 5: Breaking Point at Evergreen Speedway on August 7-8, 2009. Tickets are still available for this event and start at $23 online and 2-day ticket packages are available. Tickets can be purchased via the Formula DRIFT website at www.formuladrift.com"

They also recently held a charity blackjack tournament to benefit The Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Foundation. Here's some info about that.
"After 3 rounds of competition the final table consisted of 6 players. Steve Choi, staff member of Formula DRIFT, walked away with the 1st place spot and his choice from the prize pool and selected the XBOX 360 console and Forza 2 game. 2nd place went to Formula DRIFT points leader, Chris Forsberg, driver of the NOS Energy / Maxxis Tire Nissan 350Z, who chose the PUMA gift cards and Rogue Status apparel. 3rd Place went to John Pangilinan of the ID Agency, Formula DRIFT's agency of record, and received a Meister watch and Forza 2 video game. Overall it was a successful event for everyone involved including Formula DRIFT, Aliante, and the Wings for Life Charity."

Cheers.

Porsche Panamera Turbo

Autocar had the chance to test drive the all new Porsche Panamera Turbo. It is quite fast for a true four seater and doesn't look to bad either. Although for the price could you get a 911 Turbo AND a proper family car (like a Ford Escape) perhaps? Cheers.
