Formula DRIFT Returns to Wall Speedway

First opening in 1950 as Wall Stadium, Wall Speedway as it’s now known will host Round 4: The Gauntlet on June 17-18, 2011.

The track lives up to its moniker as the "Gauntlet" with a 16 degree banked oval along the straightaway and 30 degrees on the turns. The drivers will be challenged on this course and this track is the first on the schedule where drivers utilize the entire oval. This course is very tricky and many drivers have fallen victim to the degree of difficulty that the bank, straightaway, and inside turn creates. Each seat in the house has a great view of the action within the “bowl” and fans will not be disappointed.

The final round on the East Coast at Wall Speedway will be one of the most exciting events of the season. The 2-day event weekend will be filled with the best drifting action in the nation with the top drivers putting it all on the line on the very tricky course. Wall Speedway is a very fan-friendly venue and fans will be treated to a great view of all the action.

I'll be there on Saturday the 18th for the Main Event. As long as it doesn't rain; It's been raining here in stupid NY for about a week straight grrrrr...

 

me and my peeps should be there on Sat.

 

Well this event was pretty fuckn nice. The girls, the cars, OH the cars! I saw one little red vert in the parking lot, don't know who's it was. Saw someone wearing a gray SevenStock RX7Club shirt. And the StreetWars event coordinator with the sick *** silver supra was also present at this event. An FD with the blue Fortune body kit by Falken was present. And a bunch of other rotaries with 3-rotor rx-8's FD's FC's. It was a nice event even though it was dominated by piston engines, american muscle cars and import cars with american engine swaps. :-)

 

This was one of the best driving at Wall in a long time, props to the whole FD staff and drivers. I have shot FD since it came to Jersey and this had to be one of my favorites to watch and shoot.
