If you read our Sideway Sundays Preview coverage this week, Falken's FD3S RX-7 probably caught your attention. One of the reasons why I personally enjoyed 1 1/2 hours of being at this place was because of Dan drifting with his LS1 FC Rx-7, but also because of this car.
Regarding who actually drifts this car is even a mystery to us. On this day, Justin Pawlak (JTP) was drifting the RX-7, but we didn't have an opportunity to ask who it belonged to (of course Falken, but the actually drifter).
One thing that I'm pretty sure of is that this wasn't Calvin Wan's Rx-7.

Here are some words I read through searching from the net:
"I wish JTP was staying rotary, he could hop into the Falken RX7. I don't think I've seen anyone drive that car recently."

"Although this FD RX7 looks a bit like Calvin's personal car, it's not. It's actually the same car that was driven by Tony Angelo back in 2005. It'd certainly be nice to see this thing on the track again."

I've been spreading the word about the upcoming event Sideway Sundays @ Irwindale Speedway on Facebook and tons of forums throughout the last two months and a half. There were several questions asked to us and I would like to clarify and answer them.
1. Why are you guys promoting it?
- We were the first blog site to know about this event and decided to promote it on facebook and forums.
2. You guys decided to 'not' promote the event several times.
- There was a miscommunication with the organization. We sorted the situation out and Night-Import is now a part of the Sideway Sundays group.
3. Are you guys part of the sponsor for Sideway Sundays?
- We don't really care if we are. Our logo is not on the finalized flyer and you'll see one during XDC event this Saturday. However, we are still promoting and supporting the event.
4. When will be the postponed event?
- March 20, 2011. This is a finalized and 'not to change' date, so please come.
If you still have ANY questions, please e-mail us to night-import@hotmail.com

Ok, so back to our special coverage, Edgar Lozoya (Editor) and I made it to the layout/testing day at Irwindale Speedway today. The one who is in charge/hosting this event is Troy from Adams Motorsports and he's been putting a lot of work into this event. Let me tell you, this event will NOT be like those drifting events you guys have been to during the past few years. There will be various activities, but you'll have to be there to experience it.
One of the BEST parts about this event is the 'Car Show'. Why? Click Read More
