These fabulous four will be attending this private drift event and will be shooting footage for the upcoming OPTION video and OPTION magazine...

Date: January 17thLocation: Top SecretTime: Unrevealed.

So, why is it a private event? Quite simply put, it's a video shoot. Not a lightly organized meet of car people. We're attempting to keep this as fun but professional as possible.

(the *, originally as on other forum posts, Tsuchiya Keiichi was supposed to attend, due to one of his sponsorships he has been required to race on 1/18 in Japan so is only 50/50 likely to make it.)****************************************************Jan 17th tickets for the OPTION VIDEO SHOOTING and IKATEN DRIFT COMPETITION IS ON SALE!TICKETS ARE $20.00 and SOLD IN VERY LIMITED AMOUNT AND SURE TO SELL OUT QUICK!
