Here are some of the thousands of pictures I took on my trip to Irwindale recently, It was absolutely crazy being able to see all these drivers as well as meet alot of them and see their machines in the pits and in action.

They both didi really well! cant remember how far they went but im pretty sure that they were both out in the 1st round on saturday. this was just a amazing weekend!!! the biggest difference ws the level of japnese drivers compared to the u.s drivers. after the 1st round there was only 2 u.s drivers still in it. the one driver that really stood out was the diver of the purple ae86 from ireland. only 21 years old and made it far! such a talented driver!!! 😛 ---
