Default 350Z drifting at Laguna-Seca

Went to L-S yesterday to watch some friends race in Porsche Club events and the last event of the day was tandum drifting through turns 1, 2 & 3.

The first pic is of a 350Z and an S2000 on the first run together.

This pic is on the 3rd run. The S2000 spun in front of the Z. OUCH...pretty bad ending

The one that blew his tire is Chris Forsberg, local my350z.com screen name TopicsII. Driver for Motorex.
Sad to hear his day ended so soon. He was at Formula D in Atlanta and placed second.

Sweet pics zwind... I know that I'm missing out on a lot by not being able to attend every meet/show, but I'm glad that I'm not completely out of the loop

You could be right. From my vantage point it looked the other way around. It was a long day and I was looking into the sun

Were you there on Saturday? It would be nice to see the video.
