edit: found. Had a S13 with a 2JZ swap in the booth today, sweet car!
Tomorrow we'll have my Supra in the booth.

thefro526 06-04-2010 03:19 PM

Qualifying is on the stream now, it's getting interesting.

TROLL 06-04-2010 11:54 PM

Today was awesome... hope a lot of people are planning to come out tomorrow (Saturday).
TST has a vendor booth in an awesome spot, right in the main aisle toward the front of the vendor/pit area across from the Cooper Tire stage and Rix Magazine so stop by and say whats up. I'll have the Supra parked there tomorrow and we'll just be trying to talk to some cool people and spread the word about the forum.
I talked to some awesome people today... Matt Waldin from Import Intelligence who qualified in his 350z, Sam Hubinette in his Dodge Challenger took the time time to have a great interview with me and I also met his wife briefly, and I also got to meet Miss Formula D who was super nice and said she'd stop by the TST booth tomorrow for some photos with the Supra.
Long day today and going to be a super early morning tomorrow for me but I'm looking forward to another awesome day out there. We've already got some great coverage of the event so stay tuned for it after the event is over.

TROLL 06-05-2010 06:45 PM

Live video feed of the event is here: http://driftstream2010.com/

Its the finals now so only 5-10 mins left, check it out if you're at a computer!

bmatyeah 06-05-2010 08:19 PM

dai again. Wall looks like it takes a beating on the cars. I dont know because i dont drift but where the flat meets the banks seems to really mess with people. Its one of the fd slow tracks. I want to see how xdc does at e-town, it looks like a much better course.

trista 06-05-2010 08:47 PM

Wooo for dai. Had an amazing time and met so many people. The drivers are awesome and crazy friendly. If you weren't able to make it you really missed put on a great time.

Teku18 06-05-2010 09:23 PM

Ha i watched online. Great show today.

howielong 06-05-2010 10:15 PM

zaneithan 06-05-2010 10:23 PM

awesome event, supra looks amazing troll, took a few pics of the motor and everyone i met was really nice, hope to make it out to some more events you guys are at

karl 06-05-2010 10:24 PM

etown is a better track to drift at they say, but the worst for spectating. id like to see if they could do it down in millville at njmp. ive got video of the top 8 till the last race.

jgartland 06-05-2010 10:33 PM

i just remembered some guy thought trolls supra was mine because we had the same shirt. hmmm haha

98GSXdude 06-05-2010 11:45 PM

What a great day, weather was perfect. I should be coming down from my NOS energy drink buzz by sometime next week.

zaneithan 06-06-2010 02:17 AM

YuhpYuhp 06-06-2010 02:31 AM

i must have had 5 of them as well as rockstar and its like 230 and im still wide awake just waiting to crash lol

evomike 06-06-2010 03:30 AM

Next year will be way better, wall is out 90% of the cars will be outlawed. It's gonna be great next yar will be more driver than anything, and as for dais s13 250 grand can build a good car.

thefro526 06-06-2010 09:53 AM

I just want to thank Troll for his hospitality in the TST booth over the weekend, we were very well represented.

Other than that FD was rad, I love events at Wall.

But, the politics in FD are becoming more and more visible by the day, pretty soon Team Scion is going to be racing Stock Cars from Nascar in Formula D.

Vinny 06-06-2010 10:17 AM

I'm gonna have to say that FD was the best this year. Alot of good action, a good variety of cars (not just an s-chassis takeover), and there were some REAL tandems and not just dog chasing. One thing I'm not too happy about is everyone swapping to a damn v8. -.-

jgartland 06-06-2010 10:43 AM

hey id rock the piss out of dmacs v8 vert

JohnnyDrifter22 06-06-2010 11:59 AM

I agree with Vinny what's up with all the damn v8 swaps....but ill take two Supercharged Vqs or ls1 any day!!!! Nice meeting some of you!!

GregV 06-06-2010 12:36 PM

good time this weekend but feels so amazing to spend the day indoors in the air conditioning right now. photos from Friday are up in the gallery section

The reason a lot of teams are going to V8's in FD is because of reliability.

You can swap a relatively stock LSX into a car and make between 400 and 500 horsepower and it'll last forever.

On the other had, I'm suprised to see so many Rotary powered cars this year. There's the Rx-8 of Mad Mike, Wilkerson's Rx-8, and that Yellow FD...

TROLL 06-06-2010 06:53 PM

First vid I've seen posted, pretty cool... and a TST Supra spotting at the 2:00 mark: http://vimeo.com/12330433
