[COVERAGE] Race Motive Roll Race & Drifting MIR
July 16th, 2024 by Elusive MediaMaryland International Raceway (MIR) located in Mechanicsville, MD is known for its world class drag strip length of 1/4 mile. From it’s beginning in 1966 to today this track has been a host to all kinds of events. Upcoming events include Fall Nationals (Oct 4-5), Ford Fever Classic (Oct 11-13), and the most important World Cup Finals (Oct 30 – Nov 3). That being said, it’s a bonus to have been able to attend a drifting event at this venue. This event, entitled Race Motive Roll Race & Drifting Despite having a limited are for drivers (both local and from far away), the event had LOTS of smoke, engine noise, tires and wall taps , drifting demonstrations and even ride-alongs that were worth seeing. Enjoy the coverage!

[COVERAGE] MPACT Motorsports Festival – 10 Years
August 13th, 2020 by Elusive MediaMPACT East has officially turned double digits! MPACT Motorsport Festival and Car Show takes place in the Pocono Mountains at the iconic Pocono Speedway. It is August and it’s officially my first event of the summer! Yes, Covid-19 had cancelled all my previous events, but thankfully as the summer continued, rules allowed for outdoor venues to open, and the speedway was the perfect place to space everyone out! For a quick history lesson, MPACT started in 2011 and the first 3 years were located downtown Inner Harbor, Baltimore, Maryland. It was also a show where you could also run your car, not just park it. Taking place at the M&T Bank Stadium parking lot, half the lot was show and the other half was setup for Auto-X. In 2014 the show moved to the Pocono Mountains at the 2.5 mile Pocono Raceway. In my eyes this is when the show really became the Festival as we know it today. Drifting, Multiple track configurations with NASA HPDE, 1800′ Roll Racing, burnout, and of course a Judged Car Show. And don’t forget the fantastic drive to the raceway, 2hours from Philadelphia and New York City. Many caravans to join in on the drive up! Now Back to 2020, This year is number 10! And with Covid still keeping many restrictions, this was the first event for many people to attend. By early afternoon, there were drivers waiting hours to get in! But once you filled out your covid and safety form, you were greeted with those sweet engine noises, that we all missed as you came out of the Pocono Raceway Tunnel. Fantastic work from the MPACT team for pulling off this event during the extra challenging times. I’m happy to say I’ve been to all 10 and looking forward to see what they have planned for the future!
Be sure to check out the last 10years!
