Had a great time this past weekend with some friends at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale CA. Got some great coverage and saw some amazing cars.
Local AZ boy Chris Vallet getting it done!




XDC Fan Favorite Nate Hamilton


Here's Forrest Wang trying to block out the sun with tire smoke.


Another AZ local Vitaly Sopkins about to come around the first clipping point.




This Miata was tearing it up out there!


The second AZ Qualifier Ben Kunk passing the second clipping point.

Nate Hamilton on the inside oval


Taking Second Place at XDC Irwindale was Aurimas "Odi" Bakchis


The best battle of the competition. Forrest Wang in the 240sx vs Chelsea DeNofa in the E36 BMW.


Chelsea finally defeated Forrest after 3 battles. He also went on to win the entire event and secure a major points jump for the 2011 season.




DeNofa sucking up right next to Marstanovic (who placed 3rd for the event).


If you want to see more, I took nearly 150 Car show and Drift pics and have posted them on my website.
