Default Formula Drift - Sep 13th

I know its cutting it close to EOS but I was just wondering if anyone else was coming out for this event? I got picked to work the America's Tire Co. booth with a group of techs from the Northern Cal region.

Location:
Infineon Raceway
29305 Arnold Dr.
Sonoma , CA95476

Come support Team Super Autobacs Drift!



First year rookie Michihiro Takatori from Japan is currently ranked #6 in the season! Hopefully he will do amazing again this round.

I will be traveling with the Autobacs crew at Sonoma. Can't wait!

How do you get tickets? I was trying to see how much it costs. I might consider going.

I had no idea Foust was from Top Gear. He did really good. Unfortunately I did not bring a camera so I was unable to take any pics. I thought I was going to be doing more work than fun but it was actually the other way around. I was hoping to see the Americas Tire Co Lexus IS350 rip it up out there but because of mechanical failures it had to cut it short.

Keep an eye out for this 6.7 Liter V8 monster in the future!

2nd thought about the F machine..
It is a d-race machine and x50 vs f are about the same chassis... and they will salm with other engine in that f again. ??!!?

Bad for money but good for show I guess.

I'd choose the 6.7 Liter Hasselgren motor over the F motor anyday.

I also managed to get a quick pic with one of the Cooper Tire girls.
