This is a recap of Formula Drift at Evergreen Speedway, Seattle, WA that came from the KÖNIG Drift Driver Dennis Mertzanis.
*******************
Seattle, WA – Evergreen Raceway was the scene for Round 5 of Formula Drift. To start with, I wasn’t too excited to come to the track because last year I found it pretty difficult and ended up not qualifying.
It was a pretty fun 21 hour drive up to Seattle. This time I had my girlfriend with me so she could help out with some of the towing. I forgot to bring a jacket so I was freezing. It’s a bad habit of mine to dress according to where I am and not where I am going. About 4 hours out, Susan took over at the wheel so I could get some sleep. I awoke to her screaming that the truck wouldn’t go…..I snap up and listen for a driveshaft or wheels flying off, but I didn’t hear a thing. I look over at the fuel gauge and the gas light is on and the needle is buried in the red. We dodge the big rigs and get onto the shoulder. Luckily, the 115 gallon fuel tank was full, so we flipped the pump on for a few minutes. No harm, no foul…..we had a good laugh and we’re on our way.
Thursday practice was interesting. It rained for most of the day so they cancelled practice. But somehow, it cleared up later in the day so practice was back on….but only for an hour or so. I got some runs in and felt pretty good about it. The challenge with this track is getting off the bank at the right time, with the right speed and angle.
I qualified really crappy because apparently I don’t do well under pressure anymore….this is news to me. I ended up 31 out of 32 and was paired up with JTP, the leader in the series.
I knew he was fast, not only because he said so in the drivers meeting, but I’ve seen it with my own eyes. That car is a rocket ship. But I had a strategy and that was to jump the start and get to the first corner at the same time. I did just that. Then he straightened in front of me on the bank and I practically ripped the e-brake out of my car staying sideways behind him…but I did it!!!
I couldn’t believe he made a mistake like that. I knew my lead run had to be perfect and it was. I got the win!!! Apparently, his clutch had went out and that’s why he wasn’t driving well. Whatever, I’ll take it!
So I got to participate in the top 16 opening ceremonies and I chose the perfect umbrella girl: Joey Redmond from Wrecked Magazine.
Top 16, I was up against Forsberg. I took off from the start and he was really lagging behind. I think I took off too soon. I get in behind him, but the damage is done. I’m a little low on the bank by a few feet, so when we come off the bank, I shoot behind him and end up right in his smoke trail. Man, it was thick and I couldn’t see anything, so I bailed. Hindsight: I should’ve stayed in it.
On a side note:
I have found some speed lately and its pretty cool. I learned that my car is getting fast and I may not need to jump the starts so much anymore.

It’s Thursday, July 28th 2011, and the 2011 Honda Civic Tour kicks off in just 8 days at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey. Exclusively headlining the tour are well-know bands Blink 182, and My Chemical Romance.
KÖNIG Wheels are proud to announce our involvement in the tour for yet another year. We have been involved in the Honda Civic Tour for many years and look forward to this year’s event. We’re very excited for Honda’s recent unveiling of the new body style 2012 Honda Civic, which includes the sportier Honda Civic Si Coupe, that is featured on the tour. This platform now sports a 2.4-liter, 16-valve, DOHC i-VTEC® engine that produces 201 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque, and a 6-Speed Manual Transmission. Making this Civic Si stand out from the rest are a set of KÖNIG Lightning Wheels wrapped in a set of fresh Toyo Tires The wheels were powder-coated to match the matte black paint applied by Santini Paint USA Funky graphics picked out by Blink 182 were then applied to the sides and hood of the car, followed by Honda Civic Tour graphics, which were applied to the rear of the car.

We would like to thank Honda City of Levittown, New York for displaying the KÖNIG Honda CR-Z on the sales floor for some great exposure. Honda’s new CR-Z is an exciting platform that combines sport and hybrid all together. As you may remember Konig built this car for Honda to help the launch of the platform. The Konig CR-Z was unveiled at the 2010 SEMA Show in Las Vegas in the Honda Booth. We hope that the Konig CR-Z will help to promote and show what accessorizing can do, especially to hybrids!
The car will be on showcase there for about a month. If you are local and would like to see the CR-Z and the Lightweight Konig Milligram Wheels up close and personal, just head over and check it out!
About a month ago we began the quest for searching for vehicles for our Privat Wheels booth at Waterfest 17. The result was a 2010 VW MK6 owned by James Sokol of Lindenhurst, NY, and a 2002 Audi A4 owned by Dru Yoder of Selinsgrove, PA. The MK6 sported a set of Privat Werks 18×8, while the Audi A4 sported a set of Privat Akzents 19×9.5. Both vehicles drew much attention to the Privat Booth. We are more than proud to announce that James Sokol’s 2010 MK6 took first place at the show. We would like to thank both James, and Dru for allowing us to showcase their vehicles in our booth this year.
