    The story with Summit Point is seating. Summit Point had no dedicated seating. There was some form of a dispute about FD bringing in temporary bleachers for the event. Summit Point didn't want the bleachers brought in for some reason so FD dropped the event. I guess something has changed since XDC had temporary bleachers this year.

    This was a preseason report

    Those were my top prospects before the season started. All the non FD drivers on the list are still doing well. Tuerck is in 4th only 52 points from the leader... although I thought he would have a stronger grip of the championship race there is still alot of drifting to be done.

    Like I said, mid season and post season report will be alot more direct with the points standings.

    Makes sense -- I can definitely see it being a nightmare for the drivers.

    Going down to Georgia soon for FD Atlanta, so I'm interested to see what the Road Atlanta competition is like in person. I've only seen it on video, myself.

    Maybe Rhys Millen can chime in, he has had choice words about the track in the past.

    I have never been there but have watched tons of tape of it and all I can do is feel sorry for the drivers. So that's all I can really say about that.
    couldn't have said it better

    Hi Blaze1 -- Wanted to ask you about your thoughts on the Wall, NJ course. (And really anyone feel free to chime in...)

    I've been going to the FD events in New Jersey for a while and actually am a huge fan of this course -- from a spectator's perspective. You're able to see literally the entire track from most seats and it may be amongst the longest courses that FD runs on, giving plenty of opportunities for shifts in momentum or applying pressure, etc. I can't say that E-Town's track has been as exciting for me to watch things from the couple times I've been up there. (I was in the BP Lounge the year that FD ran there, which may have been worse seats than General Admission.)

    I can understand that Wall Speedway is not in great shape or offering much in the way of facilities. I'm wondering if drivers dislike this course as well -- maybe it is a bit more dangerous than others? I believe it heavily damaged Ken Gushi's blue Mustang in '07, if not totaled it. Stephan Verdier had a heavy hit last year that literally knocked his tires off, too.

    I can't claim I've been there since the OG days, I just know it made me smile to see FD back at Wall Speedway for me attending with friends and enjoying the show.


    On a side note, does anyone know what the official story on Summit Point, WV being a 1 and done is? I know the drivers loved the course. I'm very familiar with the facility and know it isn't necessarily suited for holding a huge event, so maybe that was it. Still love its road courses, though.

    It was the BDC round 1.

    EDC was superior and probably still is but JDM Allstars is getting big quick!
    Ireland's Prodrift is good too. It seems that drivers kinda float around a lot

    but EDC is like this now...
    "All sponsors are supporting the all new invitation only format for this year"
    Which could mean it's a promotional event or something I don't really know the score with what's going on there. maybe someone else will be able to help.

    What series was this?

    And in your opinion, which of the series in the UK is superior in your eyes?

    One more thing to add after reading through again! UK Ireland and even the Euro boy's that I've seen over the years, I'd say there is HUGE talent to make an interesting world class battle! although I am yet to see Formula D drivers in action IN PERSON at Road Atlanta round 2

    #5 Phil Morrison. killed it at the weekend!!! winning Round One In awesome style!

    Lets just say his second "sighting lap" of the practice and qualifying day saturday at Silverstone (new Stowe circuit) Was FULL ON!!! And was Ran like a winning Finale run... SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

    Mark Luney Is close to being My Favourite of the UK scene rooted for him all year last year and he won the series!

    Big respect to all Pro/Am what ever series/country drivers. It's a showman's Motorosport and they all put in so so much!
