D1 DojoLOS ANGELES (December 11, 2008) – Makes no bones about it…D1 Grand Prix is back in the USA !!! As the founder and premier drift racing sanctioning body globally, D1 Grand Prix ( www.d1gp.com ) is releasing the critical news the industry has been waiting for including: the 2009 U.S. racing schedule, locations, track design and upcoming media tour.

D1GP USA made its first announcement regarding their return to U.S. soil just prior to the 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas . Since then, D1GP USA has been developing a new racing format and is excited to announce its 2009 racing schedule with four unique locations across the United States and an aggressive and high impact new track design.

2009 D1 Grand Prix USA Schedule

* Anaheim Stadium, Anaheim , California - May 2 nd
* Dolphins Stadium, Miami , Florida - May 30 th
* Wachovia Spectrum, Philadelphia , Pennsylvania - July 18 th
* Soldier Field, Chicago , Illinois - August 1 st

“With our new management team in place, we decided to focus all of our initial efforts on two main objectives. The first was to make the events more appealing and accessible to local, out of town and new entry level fans. The second was to deliver a new high impact state-of-the-art racing experience that will define the future of drift racing in the United States ,” said Rich Goodwin, President of D1USA.

“In order to achieve these objectives we had to think outside the box. By moving the events to these centrally located venues allows for us to achieve our objective of making the events more appealing and accessible to fans, along with mainstream local media. In addition, the wide open spaces these venues offer also allow us to build in our aggressive new track design and to add in other exciting entertainment on and off the track.”

yeah sweet... drifting sucks

i cant wait, looks like its gonna be a good time. Checking back for details soon.

I went on their website. It's no longer advertised! Next show is now in Chicago in August, wtf!

Woot woot

I just called D1GP offices, asking them if the D1GP is still coming to philadelphia. The answer I was given was: "we are working on that right now and we will have an answer by the end of the day." the person on the phone neither confirmed or cancelled the planned appearance in Philadelphia.


They said they should have an answer by the end of the day and the website would have the information once things are set.


W T F ?

Word last week was that they are relocating it but there would still be a Pennsylvania event

Really? Ok good... I was looking at their site and i was like "WHERE THE HELL IS IT!" but hopefully they make a date... I need a date....

hey, I'm in for this if it does still happen

LOL listen D1gp Philadelphia is now going to West Virgina but its gonna be a D1gp underground licensing event. Then Chicago is will come after....At the end of the tour E-town might be the surprise stop....

E-town is now listed as an event on D1GP.com, and will take place on august 22nd. tickets can be purchased online. ( sigh ) something tells me D1GP isnt gonna make it after this year - again.

Ghey...

Hopefully they dont use the race track, I didnt care for it last year on the circuit track... I dont know why, i just cant beet wall's set up.

yea Walls is much better, you can see the whole track but in etown just part of it, hopefully in wall's?

well ill tell ya right now im bettin its on the track.

its going to be @ e-town huh ?? nice !!! in!!! I guess the 18th i'll be @ waterfest then :)

D1 has been holding all of their events as a stadium surround parking lot setup.

so its going to be like the first time D1 went to englishtown and have the other set up next to the drag area? That wasnt that bad.
