Hey there, I'm planning a trip to Hawaii and was wondering if there are any Drift practices/events that go on out there that I could attend during my visit. I tried searching on SpeedHawaii but no recent info there.

They are trying to get a new track or have events, there was just a demo at Aloha Stadium for drifting I read in the paper.

Aloha Stadium has still to approve it though.

Driftsession's site is still up. you can visit it at www.driftsession.com the more updated one is the flash site. at the moment, there is no where legal ;) to drift. but people are working on getting a new track and at the moment Aloha Stadium looks like where it is gonna be held for now if they vote to allow it. can start as early as december :eek3d:
