What happened to drifting at PIR?

[XxCAPTAINxX]

yeah i believe it was the day of the subaru crash. i was not there so im not 100% sure if my tale is acurate but ive heard it from multiple people and shops. i have heard rumors that people are talking to pir about using the same regulations evergreen does and possibly getting drifting back there. this would be amazing since there is no longer any drifting in oregon i know of since they stopped it at pats acres.

I'm not sure that is accurate. I think it had something to do with lack of interest/funds

Pats acres is back on

PARC Drift continues. - Northwest Nissans

That's really lame PIR is dead set on NO drift events, however.

Was I the only person who liked UN? Wes always hooked me up and would stay late (2am) to get my car finished

Maybe they came to work at 3:00 pm... I have seen many shops do that...
seems working very long hours but not really if you see what time they actually open the shop
