So all emails are off to the projected winners of the Red Bull Drifting World Championship ticket giveaway, amd now we wait for responses from all the winners. We want to thank the 70+ entrants and Formula Drift as well as Red Bull for the tickets. We would also like to thank EDC and ProDrift for the shirts they donated for the winners(EDC gave one Pit Crew shirt for the best entrant). If we have no response after 24 hours we will choose someone else to make time constraints.
To read the entry’s that won, read after the jump…
Andrew Veal (Winner Of The EDC Pit Shirt)
The night was cold, the wind was blowing. One single tire stood alone in a garage. This tire was on its way out. Far too many times had its precious terrain of sticky rubber been turned to clouds of mystical white smoke. Suddenly, there was a crack of lighting and a burst of flame. They say rubber can not be struck by lighting, but this was no ordinary tire. The tire began to shake violently. Suddenly, a figure began to form. Out of this tire, came a new being, the god of drifting. This creature spawned out, created by pure love of sport, and pure adrenalin inducing driving. The god of drifting now roams the streets, leaving its mark in every turn, unleashing the the drifting power. If you go to your favorite turn, the one that makes you grip the wheel, the one that gives you that un-real feeling, the turn that you call your own, you can always find traces of the god of drifting. As for these tickets, it can only be assumed that one pair of these sacred items should be offered as a sacrifice. If given these tickets, I will find go on this journey to deliver the tickets. I will climb the tallest mountain, descend the deepest valley, cross raging rivers , if only to catch one glimpse of the god of drifting, and deliver the tickets.

This would be the greatest gift that I could ever give my boyfriend, We are from Minnesota and he is learning how to drift right now but because of how expensive the sport is and he’s been having difficulty with his car… He has an orange Nissan 240, he has never been to Cali either so I decided to bring him for his birthday and now that there’s a drift event it works out great because I had no idea… I think this would be a dream come true for him… The best part is that he has no idea about this trip!!!! He really idolizes these drivers and promotes the sport like no other…. Trust me out of all the fans that you could possibly give the tix too…it should be him!!!!!

I’d like to get a pair of these tickets for my brother and me since we’ve been in the drift scene since before its popularity in the U.S in 2000. My brother has gone to practices at Thunderhill Park Raceway and is looking to compete professionally one day. I myself am actually saving for a drift project car myself. We’ve also attended every single Formula D event at Infineon Raceway since 2004.
I’d be easily willing to drive down to southern California from Northern California just to watch six hours of drifting (mind you it’s a 300+ mile drive from my house to Long Beach). It definitely would be a great experience and one that’s worth documenting with photographs and HD video.

1. Because we’re in a recession.
2. Because I couldn’t make it to the finals at irwindale.
3. I will still buy my own, but its the glory of winning that I want.
4. I want to make out with Rhys Millen.
