Thanks. My camera couldnt keep up.. lol, I am definitely gonna look into getting a DSLR soon. If you haven't been to a Formula D/D1 drift event, you have to go and check it out. It was an awesome experience. Also, if you are affiliated with any type of tuner, try and apply for a 'press pass'. I had fun hanging out at the staging line and talking to some of the drivers. The jap drivers are pretty crazy...

You can print/fill out/send the media form from their website.. http://www.formulad.com

If you end up going.. dont forget to share the pics!

Lets just say that.. the pics are better than the video. The car was NOT setup as a 'drift' car at all because the driver pretty much did donuts each time he tries to drift the corner. It was pretty sad. I didnt care though, it was awesome seeing the IS out there. Hopefully they get the car setup properly on the next event... it should kick *** then.

I'll see and find the IS clip.. and maybe make a lil video. I'll just cut out the spin outs.. hehe.. its going to be hard though cuz he didnt really have a clean run.

The IS was not setup for drifting. The driver's original car was out of comission and 'borrowed' the IS300 at the very last minute. I believe his first time driving the car was during the qualifying round. Needless to say, he did not make it to the Sweet 16.

^^ what he said.

I believe the driver of the IS had the skyline, but, broke it on friday. It was his first time in the IS and the setup was not right.

Look out ATL for Team Lexus..
