FD Round 7 coming up
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
Here's a video from shaking down the City Tire/Kallusive Clothing 350Z and drifting for the first time at Irwindale Speedway. Wise from Vegas wall love I took it a little conservative and it was a good test of the car and good to feel out the course. It's a very fun layout with a nice fast rhytm to it during the mid-section, and the car behaves really well, we really did great improvements from Long Beach until Vegas and now we are only needing fine-tuning. I look fwd to next practice which is just before the last Formula Drift event of this season - this weekend. Stay tuned! Aiming for another good qualifying result to start.
