D1GP made it's way to Irwindale Speedway for the second time yesterday. All I can say is the event was a huge success once again, here are some pics that I took at the event... enjoy! If you get the good old red X it's because my server is down, just try again in a little bit. Just a little FYI... besides adjusting the color, I didn't edit the actual pictures in any way. =)

































































... and the event winner (Kei-Office S15) and runner up (HKS S15).

The GTO was the only full American w driver that drifted. Rhys Millen was very good but his car looked a little heavy and cumbersome at times. I applaud him for his efforts...I believe the announcer (toshi) said he was a Formula D Driver.

The GT Viper wasn't in the competition. He came in at the start of the show to get the crowd going. The Viper was driven by "Tarzan" Yamada...a famous drifter/race car driver from Japan. According to the announcers, it had to be re-tuned and suspension tweeked a little just so it could drift correctly on that small circuit. He was getting scary close to those walls and by the 6th run or so he did a little love tap on the wall and the crowd went wild. The sponsor/owner didn't look too happy.

I gotta admit though, watching that Viper go around that track was almost surreal. It looked like a runningback doing sprints in a small backyard.

There were other American racers ( most of them getting into the biggest crashes and fender benders by the way) and they drove mostly Nissans.
