Videos from D1GP this weekend

[ZK]

I was down in LA for the D1 Round 1 point series competition in LA this past weekend. Kazama took first again in his S15.

I took some video clips from the grandstands with my digital camera of the final rounds.

Each video file is about 20MB... right click and save.

Final Four:

Cool vids.... Looks fun! To be honest, I'm getting tired of Irwindale. ITs just not a very interesting track to watch at. It favors the higher power cars like no ones buisness..... +1 rep for you for cool vids!

in practice the Droo-P corolla and Ueo did the full bank. Hi horsepower my ass, only the s2k couldn't not do the entire bank. I had the best seat in the house. Starter stand.......:bow:

I think one of the coolest things was seeing Rod Millen out driving at this event. He's been tuning and building fast cars and rally racing for a long time. He didn't do very well but just his presence there in the RX-8 going at it was a real sign that drifting has become a big thing in the US and people are taking it seriously.

Aaron!! You sumumabitch, that was you?! So I guess I did "see" you there. hah.

But to second your comment, I saw at least 3 corollas that were taking care of business on the big bank, including yoshioka's NA coupe. If anything that track almost favors the small/mid-size cars for being nimbler. I said nimble, haha. Anyway, I still had fun. Although, I was hoping more US drivers would've made it to the top 16. Rod Millen was killin' it and got no love!

cheers,

I hope when I'm that old I'll be ripping it up on the track.

Then I can be one of the old dudes on the Zilvia fourm.
