Formula D Final at Irwindale Speedway (56K warning!) L0L!

Click the pictures for larger versions!!

Well I just got back from 9 days in LA this morning.. it was great for a couple of reasons. Our hotel was a block from disneyland, and..


10 minutes from SuperAutobacs! It's sweet there. I only really bought some dvds and tshirts there, but if you were working on a project, they would have everything you'd need. Cheap too! Example: AEM silicone reducer couplers /w t-bolt clamps - $6!


Not only that, but guess what was in town at Irwindale speedway last night - Formula D! Here is 3 turbo s2ks.


Random S14


350Z outside the XBox booth





Terror alert yellow at the Bazooka booth



Badass GT style viper at the Mopar booth


This is a S15!


Signal auto has a serious brake setup on its s13.5


A green turbo 240sx!! Recently at drift showoff :P


Clean-ass hachi


4AG


Toyo 180


Carbon Creations FD


HKS S14, very clean


Even project D showed up


I snuck into Samuel Hubinette and Mopars pits


More mopar


Supercharged Audi..

Here, I'll spoil it: he climbs the fence.



Rhys winning his first round


The Signal S13.5 beating nightrider


No Big Smoke No Good!


Falken has a massive team this year



Two seriously beat up competitors





S13s



Chris Forsberg (S15) vs. Tyler McQuaire (Supra)





Domestic shootout Samuel Hubinette (Viper) vs. Ken Gushi (Stang) - these guys were second and third place overall respectively, so it was intense. Samuel obviously had the power advantage, and was bumping Ken when he was leading, and they were literally inches apart. It was nuts!


Pits!


Rhys chasing someone down!


Overexposed shot of the signal S13.5


SRT10 and the S13.5 going at it


Exeddy FD


Nice Wheels


They were running a fundraiser called the "Save Vancouver's Graphitti Culture" or somthing like that... wierd thing to donate to in LA


Ya ya, the night setting sucks on this camera. Rhys vs. Chris Forsberg - Final Round


Badass street legal R34


Big Smoke!


Rhys telling me what he did in his pants during "One More Time" vs. Chris where he spun out twice. Rhys was the overall formula D winner


Your round 6 winner, Chris Forsberg
