2009 Formula Drift Round 7: Irwindale.. Judgment Day

2009 Formula Drift Round 7: Irwindale.. Judgment Day

October 21st, 2009  |  Published in Drifting

It was another action packed event at the House of Drift, Toyota Speedway, in Irwindale, California. Chris Forsberg clinched the 2009 Championship after winning his Top 16 round.

Tyler McQuarrie looked all set to take the top podium spot, but due to an uncharacteristic correction on the inner sweeper, Ryan Tuerck took the round giving him the First Place spot.

Tanner Foust was his ever consistent self with a huge Scion crowd on hand to watch him take the Third Place position for the final event of the season. The combination of Tanner’s Toyota V8 powered tC and a lack of any breeze made for huge plumes of Hankook tire smoke.

Here’s a small sampling of the images captured from the event. See you next season!
