Default drift event 9/9 in japan

went out to the drift even this weekend, thought id share just some pf the pics i have.. now i know most of you probably think drifting is stupid, but after today i have much more respect for it. here are the pics i took today...

the pic above is when i saw my life flash before my eyes. the took the turn too wide, back-end hit then his front. when his front end hit, it hit ME knocking me off the wall!

this car rolled a few times, good thing he had the cage!

Very cool! The cars are very clean! I would love to go to an event like that. I am going to Tokyo in December for new years and the races in Daikoku on Jan 1st.

Anything else is going on around the new years time that I could check out?
