Default Formula D last night - Now with Pics *****56k Warn*****

For all of you who didn't go to the races... YOU MISSED OUT!!! That was the coolest ____e ever and it was so much fun..... Well worth the $25 to get in and see this event... This has to be the best drifting I have seen whether in person or on DVD's..

I'll post pics later today or tomorrow when I get them off my computer....

It was a lot of fun.

I was really hoping that the Falken Mustang was going to win. In fact him and the AEM Z was probably the best race.

D1 is far better, but this was still pretty good. I would say that if you get the chance to see D1, do it.

I will agree with you Brain, the Yellow Z and Mustang was the best racing I saw.. My predictions was going to be the mustang & the skyline in the finals... I was partially right ha ha & that last race was amazing too, didn't see that coming

haha the GTO i would think would be murder to drift... way to long and heavy... only reason i can fathom is that they had an issue with it at the last event and were still trying to get it dialed in... cause even rhys has said that he likes the solstyce better... you're talking 3 feet of rear overhang versus like 8 in the GTO... ick screw that... it would be murder trying to race a circuit in a car like that.

aww but still he does a good job drifting the gto. but the money that was put into that car has a lot to do with it. it makes it hard for the smaller teams that are financing the car themselves.
