Introducing The Roots Series presented by @ozarkdriftpartz
The Roots Series is an open drift grassroots-focused series & format consisting of 4 rounds at @ozarksinternationalraceway with a total of $10,000 in cash payouts and over $5k in prizes from @4xspower@skylinepowdercoating and @renegadefuel
Drivers interested in competing in the series will now qualify to get into Top 16. Qualifying will take place during open drift hours and will not impede on seat time for those not qualifying. The top qualifiers will advance to Top 16.
Drivers not interested in competing in the series can still sign up for qualifying and have their lead runs judged throughout the season as a fun tool to gauge growth.
All qualifying scores will be hosted on our website. Qualifying sign up is easy, free and fully optional when registering for an event.
What else to expect this season:
Driver cap
15 hours of seat time per weekend
2 layouts (info coming soon)
Friday night load-in available
Bar & Grill Food Trucks
RV Rentals for you and your squad
@evolvegttrackdays bikes ripping the outer loop
Please reach out with any questions and be on the lookout for the official @fivestarmediakc podcast dropping next week where we dive more into the roots series and grassroots drifting in the midwest.
