D1GP makes its return to the United States with its first event at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California. Check out this fine Nissan Silvia S15 build by Garage BOSO and driven by Ross Petty. Frank and Ross run Garage BOSO and are fun dudes. They painted this box truck they picked up in metallic black and added the garage BOSO logo. Nice. The rasta colored S15 is really impressive. Making over 450+ HP at the wheels from a stroked 2.4 liter SR20DET. GNARLY.

Follow with me and my camera for Friday at D1GP.

D1GP set up in the Angel’s parking lot. Course featured a 3rd or 4th (depending on the car and driver) right hand initiation, into a left horse-shoe, followed by a quick chicane. Plus a couple of parking lot dips and few small K-Rails (Luckily no one really pushed them too much)

Ricky Chu and Joshua Herron get ready to wait. D1GP was behind schedule all weekend.

Pat is now piloting a twin turbo Nissan 350z. Listen to the turbos spool up in the launch. With the fisheye lens you can see Angels stadium fly by in the background and the gigantic “A” sign that sits out front of the stadium.

Shot with a Century Optics Fisheye lens, Canon HF20, and a suction mount to the inside of the windshield. Gotta work on some of the vibrations.

More to come…
