Event Recap FD “Scorched” Rd 3 and Fuel Fest:
Jeff Jones Qualified in P22 out of 35 drivers with a score of 83
Top 32 Battle with Daniel Stuke: Run 1- Stuke’s E-brake wasn’t working during run 1 making him use lots of momentum and Jeff put 2 tires off coming off the bank. Judges deemed Jones had an incomplete because of this. Run 2- Great Run but with Jones sitting on an incomplete on the 1st run, judges awarded win to Stuke.
Event Highlights:
Jeff Jones Racing FD Halftime Pit Party Giveaways had another record attendance
RD 3 was another sold out event
Fuel Fest Demo with an Ultra 4 Truck and HOTPIT Drift Experience Smoke Show and Ride Alongs featuring fellow FD driver and GT Radial teammate Matt Field and HOTPIT Autofest drivers.
Debuted our long awaited Jeff Jones Racing Demo Car (our previous 2018-2021 FD comp car)
Fuel Fest event sold out event, their biggest domestic show to date with over 17k in attendance.
“Our small team has been extremely busy with these back to back weekends. Formula Drift saw another sold out event in Orlando Speed World. It’s amazing to have such a big fan base now with so much love and support from everyone. We didn’t get the results we wanted for Rd 3 but the team is taking our data and moving on to Rd 4. After Orlando we jumped right into Fuel Fest, what is possibly the biggest event next to Formula Drift. We brought out our HOTPIT Drift Experience and managed over 350 ride alongs. I got to do something personally that’s super rad and only very few in the world ever done, I had a 5000 pound Ultra 4 truck jump over me in my old pro drift car!! And yes it was slightly sketchy.”
