It’s back baby! The Midwest Drift Union Formula Drift Pro-Am series! We’ve waited all winter for the return of the legendary series.
For round one the series returned to its roots on an abandoned section of Grissom Air Force Base in northern Indiana. Years ago Drift Indy used the complex for their events which were a precursor for what became MDU.
This past weekend Midwest drifters entered the Danger Zone, an old industrial complex, to throw down in an old fashioned grass roots drifting extravaganza. This event was like no event most of you may be used to weather you’ve been to Formula Drift, a pro-am event or even local grass roots events. It was just a few great friends with awesome cars out to have fun on a unique automotive playground.
The Midwest Drift Union held their first 2013 event last weekend at Lucas Oil Raceway in Indianapolis, IN on the oval track. MDU officials planned on using last year’s setup outside of the track on a road course that they designed in the trailer staging area, but a NHRA event was rescheduled because of rain from a week prior making it impossible to use that area. Rain was threatening the entire MDU event, but luckily we only had to deal with a few sprinkles.
Round 3 of the Midwest Drift Union is a week and a half away. Info is as follows…
