2007 D1 Drift Events

NYSpeed Automotive
1

Well I have been to seveal events since early 2007 and would like to share a few photos from them.

And yes, I understand drifting isnt for everyone, but its been a part of Japanese auto society for a long time now. And besides, there is no better feeling that losing traction at high speeds and then controlling the slide!

Round 1 Ebisu Circuit - Fukushima Japan

Ebisu consists of a number of short tracks including one D1 version. From what ive heard, this place is open 24 hours a day so you can go and beat on your car when ever you want. All for a modest 10,000 JPY! On the track and off the streets:sario:

Pentax K100D. This is my first digital SLR and a good starter.

D1 Corp. had a exhibition match in Chicago some time in 2007. But I think there are other events too.

Yeah its kinda shocking the people barely flinch. Ive seen some close calls and its always the same. Safety is not as good any U.S event would be either.
