July 18, 2014 (Signal Hill, Calif.) – Evergreen Speedway, set east of Seattle, is one of Kyle Mohan’s favorite stops on the Formula Drift schedule. It is not only one of the fastest events on the schedule, but one that features a large contingent of Mazda and rotary engine enthusiasts.
As the only Mazda-powered Mazda in the Formula Drift Pro Championship, the no. 99 GT-Radial / Energy-X / Mazdatrix Mazda RX-8 will enjoy the support of the rotary fans in attendance.
“Evergreen Speedway is full of Mazda fans,” said Mohan. “These guys are die-hard. A few years ago, some of them even loaned us their shop so we could work all night to repair our car. We enjoy a lot of support in the Seattle area, and the layout at Evergreen Speedway is one of my favorites. The banking is more technical than it would appear, and the infield lends itself to really exciting tandem competition. I am really looking forward to this weekend.”
