June 17, 2010 (Summit Point, W.V.) – The exciting weekend that is Hyperfest is about to get a little more exciting, as the Xtreme Drift Circuit is primed to headline the annual West Virginia motorsports festival this weekend.
XDC Hyperfest marks the third event of the 2010 Xtreme Drift Circuit championship. Westminster, California’s Quoc Ly heads the championship standings ahead of Flagstaff, Arizona’s George Marstonavic. Round 1 winner David Briggs from Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, ‘Magic’ Mike Pollard from Plymouth, Minnesota, and Forrest Wang from Las Vegas, Nevada also head the list of drivers that will be competing for a spot in Saturday night’s top-16 tandem competition.
One of the most anticipated XDC driver debuts will be Steve Angerman, driving a V8-powered Pontiac Solstice that was built and maintained by Gardella Racing. Also making his first XDC appearance is Doug van den Brink, driving a turbocharged Ford Mustang that he has driven in numerous Formula Drift events over the past two seasons. The two drivers will join the growing number of teams that will be at Summit Point.
“We are really excited about our partnership with Hyperfest for round three of the XDC,” said Mike Munar, president of XDC Events. “The fans are going to get another show with the possibility that, like Vegas, we will have over forty drivers – including guys like Angerman and van den Brink who are making their first starts in XDC, going up against the likes of Quoc Ly, George Marstonavic, and David Briggs.”
While the drivers of XDC hail from across the country and Canada, none of the drivers at XDC Hyperfest hail from West Virginia – although there are several from nearby Virginia.
