Looking back at all the dope shit that was held close to home. In memory of the now closed Irwindale Speedway aka Toyota Speedway aka “House of Drift” This footage is basically from Formula Drift 2011.
Very clean footage shot on the Red One MX

Overall, it was a pretty good turnout! It wasn’t too crowded and not to overwhelming either. It was nice enough to walk around and hangout with some friends. I mentioned it wasn’t overwhelming, but there were tons of 2nd gen IS’ along with hella IS-Fs. I even witnessed a SC spin out and hit the wall on the 1/8th track. Didn’t get it on video, but did get the aftermath on camera.
Met some cool folks too! Made new friends and called it a day!
My girlfriend’s sister was there and won some Eibach springs. lol Pretty shocking since she *cough* found *cough* the raffle ticket on the ground.

It All Comes Down to the TITLE FIGHT for the Formula DRIFT Championship
The Toyota Speedway at Irwindale is known as the “House of Drift.” The legendary drifting venue gave drifting in the U.S it’s roots and is often referred to as the “birthplace” of American drifting.
The Formula DRIFT Championship will be decided at this final event of the season and drivers will battle one last time to earn the coveted title of Formula DRIFT champion. The track is the home track for most of the drivers and each year the competition grows more intense. The infamous course is challenging and exciting utilizing part of the short oval track and many inside turns.
Last year current champion Chris Forsberg took home both the championship and Tires.com Triple Crown bonus award at this event, but it was a close call as Ryan Tuerck took the event victory and came in second place overall by a mere 6 points. Tyler McQuarrie came in second at the event and secured his third place finish for the season. This year, watch as the drivers go all out and put it all on the line one last time for a chance to become the new Formula DRIFT champion.
