Formula Drift Driver: Jeff Abbott in 2011 Formula Drift Irwindale

"The big guy in the little green Miata." That is what Jeff Abbott is well known in Formula Drift. Jeff started drifting since 2004 and has been competing in Formula Drift (FD) for several years now. 

This is Jeff during the driver's meeting of the 2011 Formula Drift in Toyota Speedway in Irwindale California before the qualifying runs.

This is Jeff running top 32 with Dai Yoshihara.

The little green Miata tried to keep up with the Discount Tire's Nissan 240sx but the V8 really have a huge advantage.

But at the end of the day, Jeff had a great time being part of the FD history. The 2011 FD Title Fight have the most tickets sold in the entire Formula Drift as of the moment.

Right now, Jeff is preparing for the 2012 season and is pumped up to drift Long Beach. Stay tune for we will be having a pre-season shoot with Jeff and the little green Miata.

Red Flag for Irwindale Speedway

The rumors started over the weekend of February 11 & 12 of 2012 that Irwindale Speedway is shutting down. Now it is confirmed that Irwindale Speedway LLC got the red flag after filing BK Chapter 7. I am pretty sure that everyone's question is, what's next? We hope that it will get a green flag again soon. But for now, here are some photographs from 2011 Formula Drift Title Fight in Toyota Speedway in Irinwdale Calif.

Good times Irwindale Speedway...
