A Dream in Motion - Dreamers of Drift Round 1

Event Coverage Harjaan Sivia

A dream is only a dream—until you take the necessary steps to make it a reality. That’s exactly what Saturday, April 19th, was all about.

With engines revving, tires changing in a blur, and excitement buzzing through the crowd, the energy was palpable. Even a light sprinkle that lingered throughout the day couldn’t dampen spirits or slow down the action.

Spectators were treated to a diverse lineup of makes and models, including a standout build—Chris Leonard’s rear-wheel-drive-converted Ford Fusion. Among the Top 8 was Dylan Schaefer, who put on a show in his drift-built 350Z, carving through the course with precision and flair. His run through the twists and turns of the track left a lasting impression.

The crowd lined the streets, eagerly awaiting each new matchup, holding their breath in anticipation of what would come next. Drifting is beautifully unpredictable, and these drivers embraced that spirit, delivering thrilling runs all day long. We witnessed incredible skill as chase cars hugged their leads with mere inches to spare. There were a few spin-outs, and one racer even lost their front bumper—but that only added to the intensity.

Everyone in attendance walked away with memories of an unforgettable day. It was a true testament to the power of chasing dreams: when you put in the work and stay the course, it’s only a matter of time before those dreams come to life.
