For a gearhead, the chance to see the classic 2006 car flick “The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift” on a cinema’s big screen is a dream come true. Nearly 20 years since its cinematic release, this influential film is the oddball of the F&F series, yet the movie focused more than the others on JDM car culture.
This coming Sunday, December 7th, Demaras Racing is hosting a private screening of “Tokyo Drift” at the Film.ca Cinema in the suburb of Oakville, just west of Toronto. To make the event more interesting, a prize raffle is bring held for all moviegoers.
The grand prize winner will receive a ride in the Drift Taxi, a highly-customized, Subaru Forester with a fully-built EJ25 pumping out 600 HP to the rear wheels. Four racing seats with competition harnesses give driver by Roel ‘Rolo’ Mallari the opportunity to take 3 passengers with him as the Drift Taxi competes in drift events all summer long. The grand prize winner will get to experience the fastest ride in town at a 2026 CSCS Racing event.
Our lucky winner will also receive a ‘Movie Night for Two’ prize package courtesy of Film.ca Cinemas. That’s 2 movie tickets, 2 popcorn and 2 drinks for a couple’s night out. Film.ca Cinemas is playing many great Christmas movies throughout the holiday season, including “Elf” from 2003, and “It’s a Wonderful Life” from 1946, starring Jimmy Stewart.
On a somber note, it’s been 12 years since the death of Paul Walker on November 30, 2013. We lost more than just the star of the Fast & Furious movies. In 2010, Paul Walker founded ROWW (Reach Out WorldWide) a 501(c)(3) registered charity that helps bring first responders to disaster areas. ROWW is currently focused on Jamaican hurricane recovery and relief efforts, and all profits from our F&F Movie Night are being donated to ROWW to help support their endeavours, in honour of Paul Walker’s memory.
The ‘buster’ would have liked that.
