After a hiatus for 2008, D1 Grand Prix has announced that it plans to return to the states next year with four drift events held at stadiums all over the country. D1 says their events will focus on the overall entertainment of drifting and will use what they call the "D1 Dojo" course to make the action fast paced and accessible to spectators. Since it's D1, you can also expect the popular Japanese drivers to be featured in these events.
D1GP USA has announced the following schedule for '09-
May 2nd, Anaheim Stadium, Anaheim, CA
May 30th, Dolphins Stadium, Miami, FL
July 18th, Wachovia Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA
August 1st, Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
More details should be announced soon. Hopefully D1GP USAwill be able to deliver as I know a lot of people would love to see D1 outside of Japan again.
