Irwindale came, and Irwindale went. The tire smoke has settled and the modern gladiatorial spectacle known as Formula D has ended, but the ink is still drying from the tales written in the FD history books.

What`s up everyone, my name is Robbie Nishida. I drive the Hankook Tire/Gruppe S 350Z in the Formula Drift series. Normally I am the manager of a garage on a military base called Yokota located in Tokyo, Japan. My father is half american and japanese, which makes me a quarter. I have been drifting for over 10 years. I never ever thought back then that
What’s up Speedhunters, my name is Justin Pawlak, or better known as “JTP”. I’m the Formula D driver of the Bergenholtz Racing/Nitto Tires Mazda RX8. I would say most people know me from my ever changing FC RX7. I got into drifting in late 2005 at the Drift Day Industry Drift 1. I had recently moved to California to work at AEM

I grew up racing Motocross with my two brothers. I raced for 10 years starting as a novice on someone’s old used equipment and finishing as
I suppose some people might call me a bit of a workaholic as I very rarely stop working. This past weekend though I had a little too much on my plate. I had two camera operators shooting 2 different drift films, was collaborating with our team of Speedhunters photographers, was helping to organize the Royal Purple video game contest and was also following
Have you guys had enough Irwindale coverage yet? Hopefully not, because here's some more photos from last weekend's Formula D season finale. Up above we have Ross Petty's S15 looking as cool as ever while smoking up his Falkens through infield bank. By the way, we're trying to schedule a visit to Garage Boso as part of our Driver's
Conventional wisdom says that time starts to slow down as you get older, but for me I'd say the opposite is true. Each year seems to be more action packed and high paced than the last. Exactly one week ago I was getting ready to fly from Vancouver to Los Angeles to attend the Formula D finals at Irwindale Speedway... but tonight I'm already
