The D1 event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway was an all around awesome event. The drifting was nail-biting exciting as always and the next round of competition will surely be just as action packed. Hopefully next year if there is a stop in Vegas, it will be during a cooler month, but with a limited amount of stops in the US, I’ll gladly sweat in the stands to watch.
