Driftoberfest 2019 Recap

The drifters ran around the track like ducks in puddles on a wet Friday night and windy Saturday. They were rewarded with a clear Sunday for the final battles of the year. Thank you to all our drivers, spectators, and staff members who contributed to a great weekend. We look forward to next year with you guys!

Charity Fundraiser

You guys raised $2,514 for the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation despite the harsh weather. Formula Drift Pro2 driver Alec Robbins was taking ride-alongs all weekend and the silent auction and car show were both successes! We’re looking forward to raising even more next year.

Tandem Battle Champion

Congratulations to Jacob Wollschlager, our Tandem Battle Champion of Drifting the Plains #5. He battled hard and took advantage of the sopping wet track to make seamless transitions.

Team Tandem Champions

Jacob was also part of the Team Tandem Champions along with Rob Thomas, Andy Mevissen, Brady Reinke, and Kyle Puckett.

Final 2019 Bracket Weekend Recap

It was a long, beautiful day and we ran right up to curfew again to wrap up the final drag races of 2019. Records, windshields, and coolant hoses were broken. It was a destructive Saturday to send the season out with a bang!
